FOREST MANAGEMENT
' IS MEETING SUBJECT
R. W. Graeber Holding Meetings in
Comity In Interest of Comerving
Timber.
Field meetings arc being held in
the co’ujty this week by R. W. Grae
ber, extension forester at State Col
lege, in the interest of forest manage
ment in Cabarrus. Sir. Graeber is
accompanied by R. D. Goodman, the
County Farm Agent.
Mr. Graeber, who is a son of Sir.
and Mrs. H. *-A. Graeber, of this
city, was receently appointed to his
position with the forest preservation
department.
He is pointing out at the meetings
that there are now in North Carolina
ten million acres of timber on farms
and only eight and one-half acres of
cultivated land. The people have
been dependent, he says, on the cul
tivated land to make their living
when they could have timber land help
them.
Where timber has been cut down,
it has been butchered, declares,Mr.
Graeber. He is trying to interest the
farmer in growing timber as a crop
by applyipg modern methods of cut
ting and by planting.
Cutting in the United States each
year amounts to 27 billion cubic feet
and ail timber lands are growing at
the rate of only 6 billion cubit feet,
which shows that the timber is leav
ing four times as fast as it is being
replaced.
Meetings were held Thursday at the
homes of J. F. Vanderburg. in Num
‘ her 0 Township, and B. T.
in No. 10 Township. Meetings are
being held today at the homes of J.
H. Barrier, in No. 0 township and
Floyd Moose, in No. 7 township.

WOMAN’S TORSO
i FOUND IN WOODS
I Authorities Seeking to Identify the
i Body Apparently Dismembered by
Expert.
, Media, Pa., Jan. 21.—The headless
and leglees body of a young woman;
was found in a clump of trees to-
P day, about one and one-half miles
north of this place. An hour later,
■ the legs were discovered in high grass |
- fifteen feet away. 'The head was!
not found.
, On the left wrist was a gold watch, 1
. which furnished the chief clue on 1
. which State police are working to;
. identify the woman. It bore the ini-1
, tials “H. B. Z. to T. T.” and the num-1
, erals 6-16-23.
Tne body was found on the exten- j
sive estate of Samuel J. Tenderson, I
i a Philadelphia lawyer, and lay a,
i short distance back from a road. The j
i spot is near the club house of the
Rose Tree Hunt, whose members are
i socially prominent in and about Phil
adelphia.
Mrs. Sallie Worrell, who resides at
Rose Tree nearby, while passing the
spot, noticed a bloodstained hundle
and reported it to William Bowson,
: a blacksmith.
He investigated and in the under
brush found a large brown paper
"bundle strapped with two men’s heavy
belts. Opening the bundle, he dis
covered the torso covered with two
newspapers. One bore the date of
December 22nd and the other of Jan
uary 19th.
Examination of the body by phy
sicians showed that it had been dis
membered. apparently by an expert.
The woman, thought to be in her
early twenties, weighed about 120
pounds. The clothing indicated evi
dence of refinement. Until Satur
day workmen employed by Mr. Hen
, derson had been cutting trees sixty
yards from the spot where the body
lay. The police do not believe, there
fore, that the murder could have been
committed earlier than Saturday afg
ternoon. The presence of newspaper
of last Tuesday was taken to Indi
i. cate thg- young woman was not killed
before niat day. ( ]
The police think the murder was i
committed elsewhere and the body’ 1
thrown htto the woods. '
