Forest Fires Costly to Woodlot Owners

The landowner «vho does * light
burning of his timber land during the

practice
"This plan is all wrong," says R

Burning the woods also prevents
the natural seeding and the growth

Most of the trees which do start are
soon killed, and the ones which sur

Appealing for Education

whose fathers and mothers starved
lor wire slain, have been thrown on]
(the bosom of charity.
I.very year the American people,
have been called upon to send food i
and clothing to these poor people.
Now, the American people believe

of leading those people to a broader I
