REFORESTATION PROBLEM Speakinj? recently before the Women’s Rotary Club at Indianapolis, Richard Lieber, director of the state conservation department. forcibly pointed out that J with most of the Hoosier forests gone, as likewise the timber in nearly every other state, the forestry problem ceases to be a local affair but assumes one of national economic importance. 1116’ conservation director called attention that thirty-three southern Indiana counties, nearly all suited for timber production. and formerly thickly studded th valuable trees, paid, in k /state taxes, according to 1921 figures, $2,081,480, but to meet their • educational a n d civic needs, the sum of $3,807,649, or nearlv double, had to be repaid to them. This sum was exclusive of money spent for highways. In the opinion of the speaker Fit is good business to put millions of acres of these idle hills lands to work growing trees, reclaim some of this land for agriculture by introducing soil fer A tility* and in a reasonably short time so increase the land values plus a valuable timber crop, that these 33 counties will be financially able to lay their proportionate cost oi operating expenses. expressed impatience with the individual group of individuals who Represent sectional interests only, for instance our county paid in so much for taxes and only obtained so much in return. The entire population has helped to waste the hardwood timber of the southern third, and therefore should assist in putting these counties back on a self-sus-taining basis, he declared. He said that the proposed 2-mill tax now pending in the legislature would reforest many thousand acres of now waste lands and do it without burdensome taxation on the individual. o “BELLING" AND SURPRISE Rev. and Mrs. S. Kahl Dustin of Pioneer, Ohio, spent last j Thursday and Friday in this city! with friends. On Thursday eve-i ning while the visitors were en-i joying themselves in the home of I Mr. and Mrs. Marion Bushong, a; “—crowd of his former parishioners, sifpped to the door of the Bush ' ong home ana commenced giving them a loud "belling.” As Rev. Dustin was recently married, he had to accept the "greeting” in a graceful manner, which he did.
