But they have found the social, at tractions of the factory villages so great that nothing can Induce .the young people to return to the coun try. .. Another Inducement's for them to stay is the recent increase In wages in the mills. Men- laborers are new puld from $1.50 to $2 a day;, skilled operatives. $2 to $s; women wear ers, $1.25 to $1.75; womei spinners, 90 cents to $1.40", and chtljren 'froth 10 tents to $1 a 'dav; " Tne law al lows children over 12 years of age to work In ' the ' factories.

"They lived on their, truck , gardens .and their poultry and the credit allowed tnem at tne cross-roaas stores; wnici was settled when their crops of cot ton were sold. . The cost of living in town: Is,: of cpurse, mush greater than in the country, anj Mietk standard ox living - has advanced in food' dress and the comforts and conveniences of their, homes.- 'Thaw condition ao pends "very largely upon their em ployers, however.

Mr. Baldwin is - also working to Improve the homes and cultivate the tastip . of the grown' people, and to assiat In that way to solve one ot the mosk serious problems ot this section wjilch is to fasten the mill popula tion -down to permanent homes..

Mr. Giilord Plnehot, the gowrn ment forester, says that at the pres ent rate of cutting, the timber supply In the United States, on government reserves and private holdings, will be exhausted in twenty years, y ' Mr. PInchot is a man whose- cool Judgment and discretion give him a high rank. For all that his Judgment may be too pessimistic. If, however, he is right the consumption will necessarly diminish, and that speed ily, so that the actual exhaustion of supplies will no doubt be postponed to a date beyond that which he fixes. Nevertheless the situation is very serious. The destruction of our tim ber la certainly going on at ft" tre mendous rate. Provisions to fenw it have been made, but on a scale 4o sraan comparatively that they afford no prospect of a continuance' of th supply; r;;,. 'y The consequences of the exhaustion of our supply of timber are calculated to oe or tne gravest,, character. Put tlng it at not more than" twenty years is calculated to make It almost a present situation. If-the supply 1s so restricted and the consumption so great, immediate steps are indispen sably requisite to avert the disaster. ' There are two methods .which ap pear on the surface to be demanded. The first ioto do what can be done to stop the, immense consumption of our timber. When the supply is all gone some M other means must ; be found to furnish - material i for the purposes for ; which timber v Is " now used. But it is obviously unwise to postpone this until the timber is ex hausted. The - substitute ' material should be , found 'now, and the work of applying it should be at once commenced. The greater use pMron and steel instead of timber is one resource. , and there has been an immense Increase In this respect, but apparently without eparlngj the tlm ber. i Our production of iron has " in creased phenomenally, but still the timber waste goes on. . L The naturat resources of this coun try have been so great that until recently , the , prospect of their ex- naustion was not seriously enter tained. We had gone on cheerfully reducing; them as If they, were inex haustible. Ilr recent years the note of warning has been sounded, but It nas had little practical effect The waste goes on,- and at an accelerated rate of speed. The population has greatly Increased, - and the dtemand on our natural resources has corres pondingly been s augmented. The greed of gain has dictated the de structlon of our v forests, without any reference to what Is to be done when they 'ire all gone. - - r' Attention Is naturally directed V to the Dominion of Canada, where there are, immense supplies of virgin tim ber. But our tariff laws continue to offer, a premium for the destruction of our own timber. If these were changed there would be lees motive for the so rapid destruction of our timber, and In - the West there has been a very decided sentiment in favor 'of a change Irt the laws. The difficulty in doing this Is, of course, pretty well understood, but the crea tion of an overwhelming public sen timent in Its favor Is not Impossible. The second point to be noticed is the need of reforesting the numerous areas that have been . denuded of timber. This Is a slow, process, and It cannot be too soon begun in real earnest For years we have had a good imany people who insisted on the need of renewing the forests that had been destroyed. -The planting of trees has 'been recommended, and to some extent, accomplished. The point is that the work has not as sumed' such proportions as to supply the waste in any tolerable degree. A more general, a more concerted effort to renew the supply of timber is not only necessary, but. it Is requisite that it be entered upon at once. This Is not altogether a work for the government. 'Mr. PInchot says that one-fifth of the forest area Is in the government reserves, but as the privately-owned timber lands are bet ter than those of the government the government does not own one-fifth of the timber supply. The government may make an effort to preserve Its forest areas, but It is known that at tempts In this direction are subject to. great, difficulties. But however these efforts may succeed, it is neces sary to bring to bear pon private owners such Influence as may lessen the destruction of the timber. How this may be done is a hard' question. So Ions; as such destruction Is enor mously profitable - it will continue, quite in disregard of the evil conse quences that are , threatened: - It would seem proper , that, , both , the Federal and -4 State governments should make an effort to diminish the waste. Certainly there ought to be laws which offer a premium for the destruction of the timber. ' The proposed conference at Wash Ington with reference to the exhaus tion of our national resources ought to do , something to awaken public sentiment upon the evils of the de struction of the timber supply., -It is given out that the forest reserve will askr Congress for more money and more men to push the work of re- forestlna the denuded timber lands. This seems to he well advised, but the task of saving some of the timbet that wo have now Is also of the utmost Importance. It in not merely a question of doing something for posterity " concerning whom It Is cynically said that posterity has rtnne nothing for-tw. When the matter, la brought within the space of twenty ,'ear. years it affects tne majority or tne neoole now on mrth. and It is high time that . they awaken from their lethargy and take hold of the pros lem-ln earnest. - , .
