State Showing that Planting of Trees Prevents Wasting of Soil

(BY JOHN F. THOMPSON) The states, some of them, and indeed most of them are doing something in the way of forestry, but most of the State Forests are not forests withdrawn from private entry with a view to supplying wood to the future. They are lands that are privately owned, cut over and abandoned, and the states have either bought them back or have taken flfeem for delinquent taxes. Such lauds constitute most of our State JrWests east of the Mississippi River. Indiana's State Forest waseobtained purchase. Its history is very brief, covering a period of only nine years. The tract contains two thousand acres, situated in Monroe Township, t'lark County. It is ninety miles south of Indianapolis. The Pennsylvania railroad to Jeffersonville runs along its east boundary for a mile. One can go from Richmond to Henryville and be within a five minutes walk of the Administration Building. One can go from Indianapolis on the Louisville and Indianapolis Electric line and be let off at the Administration Building. The bill providing for the purchase or the land was approved .March, 1903. It provided that land be purchased at ?. price not to exceed eight dollars per acre. Of course such a price lnrant the purchase of poor laud; land not fit for agriculture. The Forestry Hoard could have purchased five times that amount at such a price or less, but that is all a state as poor as Indiana could afford to spend for the future generations of the state. The soil originally was very poor and had been rendered almost worthless for any kind of a crop by the worst kind of farming. It had once been heavily wooded but had been cut over so many times that nothing remained but a poor crop of second growth and even this had been largely ruined by fire. 600 Acres Cleared. Of this brush land there are 1400 acres; 600 acres have been cleared for farming, but it is all non-agricultural land and should never have been cleared. This land should never have left the hands of the govern ment. Some of our finest forests were here on this poor soil which is not fit for anything else. The Reservation, from an artist's standpoint, is a region of unusual beauty. There are knobs, elevations rising abruptly five and six hundred feet, from whose tops miles of the country may be seen, rolling hills and gentle valleys in an atmosphere hazy, hlue and uncertain. Down among the knobs are mossy rocks, springs, brooks, and quiet pools resting in shadowy twilight; an ideal place for a poet, a lover or a tramp. The place is not rich in flora, but there are some plants here not found elsewhere in the state. When the North-west territory was conquered, and the forts of Kaskaskia and Vincennes were captured by Gearge Uodgers Clark, a tract of land was granted to him and to his officers. This grant wa3 not to exceed 150 thousand acres and to be located north and west of the Ohio. The State Forest lies within this grant as the name of the county would suggest. Managed by Board. This small reserve is managed by a board, called the State Board of Forestry, the members of which are appointed by the Governor. Four members constitute the board and they all serve without pay except the secretary who receives the traditionally small salary usually paid people who are engaged in public work. The secretary, by virtue of his position on the board, is State Forester. The Reserve is under his direct management: he gives his whole time to It and he has an office in the State House. Charles C. Dean, the secretary, is a man entirely capable: he is a good botanist, a good forester and enthusiastic and a hard worker. He regards the State Forest as properly belonging to the public and is managing it as such. It is to be hoped that the new Governor will retain him if he will 6tay. It is not his policy, and should not be to reforest the two thousand acres with a viewto supplying future Indiana with wood, the tract is entirely too small for that, but he is trying to demonstrate down there that non-agricultural land can be made profitable if planted to forests, that it is poor policy to try to use strictly nonagricultural land for agricultural crops, and that whenever this is tried It fails and so much land is rendered worthless. He has a hundred acres or more planted to various kinds of trees, white ash, walnut, yellow poplar, black locust, ect. He has also demonstrated that it will not pay for the people of this state to try to raise catalpa. He has already shown for that locality at lea6t, the white ash is the most profitable tree to plant, and that the yellow poplar does well. The state should buy up all such lands within its boundaries and convert them into demonstration forests. Southern Indiana does not have all the poor land of the state, there is plenty in the northern part along the shore of Lake Michigan, land that would be far more profitable if planted to trees. The people 'who own these poor lands will never do it because they would have to wait too long for any returns, and besides they are too poor and cannot afford it, they need the land to support them even though the support is very meagre. Besides these poor lands, many good farms have some poor land in them and there are probably but very few farms in the state which do not have wood lots. These waste lands should be planted to trees and the wood lots should be under management. If Hoosiers only knew what is being done in our State Reserve they would surely have the good sense to go and Icarn how to make such

waste lands pay. The state is not only showing what trees it will pay to plant but it is showing some of the indirect benefits of planting trees. No Wasting of Soil. There is a fine example down there of how planting trees prevents the wasting of the soil. There is a hillside which has been planted to black locust and the work of erosion has been entirely stopped, the soil not only remains where it is formed but the little field at the foot of the hill does not have its surface soil covered up by the wash from every rain. For these reasons the state should acquire lands in various parts of its area so that demonstration might be seen by all who own land. Indiana has nearly 23 million acres of land and instead of two thousand acres of reserve she should have 20 thousand and in various parts of the state, and demonstration carried on in all, for outside this two thousand acre tract all our forests are in farmers' wood lots and the farmers do not know how to manage them, but would manage them if they knew how and if it could be shown that it would pay. When Indiana was first entered by the pioneer, it was practically all forest, about 90 per cent. It v.as the center of the great central forest -region and contained dense forests of walnut, yellow poplar, white oak and linden. These forests are all gone, only about 14 per cent of the wood lands remain. The agricultural lands have been made into fine farms and the non agricultural lands have been robbed of their forests and are practically worthless. Acquired by Speculators. Forest destruction in this country has been but little short of criminal. Our forest lands have somehow been acquired by speculators and land grabbers until nearly all of our vast timber lands have passed out of the hands of the government. It began in the east and with the advent of steam and electricity has swept with astounding rapidity westward to the Pacific. But the states, one by one have taken up the business of reforesting out over lands, and herein lies at least some hope, not of providing timber for the present or future, but of saving lands, ruined by the effects of deforestation. New York,, in 1880, was the leading timber state in in the union, but her forest lands have been cut over and left, then came Pennsylvania with the same result, then Michigan and Wisconsin, and so on the work of destruction has swept like a scourge across the continent; following in the wake of the axe and saw came the forest fire, well nigh completing the ruin. But the work which the states are doing is good. New York has bought back and taken for taxes an area of nearly two million acres which she is planting to forests as fast as she can. Pennsylvania has 850 thousand acres, Michigan 39 thousand, Minnesota 43 thousand, Maryland 3,500, New Jersey 8,000, Massechusetts 1,0000, Indiana 2,000, etc., all are doing practically the same thing: replanting and protecting them from fire. These small state forests can never, or not in the near future produce much timber for the market, but they are great institutions in that they not only protect the soil and prevent floods but they are forest laboratories where owners of private forest lands in these states may learn how to manage their holdings. Each state forest should show the owners of non-agricultural lands how such lands will pay better if planted to trees than if planted to anything else.

OUT FORCOMMAHDER A. B. Crampton Is Opponent of D. W. Comstock.

(Palladium Special) DELPHI, Ind., Jan. 25. The Boothroyd Post No. 31, G. A. R. of this city has unanimously adopted a resolution endorsing A. B. Crampton as candidate for the post of Department Commander of Indiana Mr. Crampton is a man possesed with the varile vigorousness not often found in the now thinning ranks of the old soldiers and is capable in every wfcy of shouldering the responsibilities of the office. He enlisted in 1861 as color-bearer of the 48th Indiana volunteers and when honorably discharged at the close of the war in 1865 was First Lieutenant of Company A Fortyeighth Indiana regiment. Daniel W. Comstock of Richmond will run for the same office. Up to the present Judge Comstock is Mr. Crampton's only opponent. A warm contest i3 anticipated.

Hogs Fattened for 12 c Per Pound W. R. Lighton, tHe wellknown writer, who is a practical farmer in Arkansas, put fat hogs on the market at a cost from birth to marketing of one and three-fourths cents a pound live v-eight. The land on which this can be done can be bought at $15 to $25 an acre. The great fattening feed is Spanish peanuts. At the Arkansas Experiment Station hogs pastured on ripe peanuts made a gain of 1,252 pounds from each acre, while other hogs made a gain of 436 pounds per acre of corn. Alfalfa yields five good cuttings a year on the bottom lands of Arkansas that are not subject to overflow. There ve thousands upon thonsanc'tf-' acres of this kind of alXaiii land in Arkansas along Rock Island Lines Each acre of Bermuda grass pasture will put from 400 to 800 pounds of pork on hogs. Climatic conditions are particularly favorable for growing and feeding live stock cheaply. The winters are so rrald that two litters of pigs can be raised profitably every year that means double profits. Packing houses throughout the Southwest need several million hogs annually a wonderful opportunity for heg raisers. Write Today Low Priced Lsed Low Fares to See that Lead

NEW YORK, Jan. 25. The fashioning of gowns is no longer a matter subject to set and rigid rules; it has become an art and only artists in their metier can ever hope to succeed in producing modern gowns and costumes that are really beautiful and becoming. Darts, gores and other devices for the shaping of garments are eliminated from fashionable toilettes of the present. A length of goods is draped about the figure to form the skirt, the fullness being lifted or lowered at will to form the drapery. Fabrics are neither cut nor sewn, but swathe the figure. They are often left open at the hem to
