FORESTS OF THE STATE Plans for Improvement in Their Condition are Made. ft r, ' It Has been e§tfmated that ap proximately eleven million acres of land in North Carolina are now supporting some kind of forest growth. Nearly of this area is probably absolute forest land, that is, because the land is too rough to cultivate properly, or is too easily washed by rain or floods, or is too poor to yield adequate returns for the labor put on it, or for other reasons, the production of timber crops is the most profitable use to which it can be put, at least for many years to come. This large amount of forest land represents an investment of from 25 to 50 million dollars, at the least, and perhaps much more. Is this land yielding to its owners and to the State as large returns on the enormous amount of money invested as is possible? Or can the annual yield be increased, perhaps doubled? What are our forest resources any way, and how long are they likely to last at the present rate of timber consump tion? Can we insure a perma nent supply for our manufactur ers; as well as for domestic and otuer uses ? These and other questions the N. C. Geological and Economic Survey is starting out to try and solve. They have just concluded arrangements with the U. S. Forest Service whereby a study of the forest conditions of the State will be commenced this summer. Similar cooperative studies have previously been carried on in New Hampshire, California, Kentucy and several other States, the Forest Service doing the work and the States paying half the total costs. This study will differ slightly from previous ones in that a State officer, Mr. J. S. Holmes, Forest er to the N. C. Geological and •Economic Survey, will be in charge of the work and the Fed eral Government will furnish one or two technical men to assist him. It is expected that the field work will be commenced .within a month, the party start ing in in the extreme western corner of the State, in Cherokee county, and working eastwards. Each county will be taken up separately, the men going as nearly as possible into every part of it. Lumbermen, timber landowners, and other residents will be interviewed, the infor mation thus secured serving to supplement and qualify the ob servations of the foresters them selves. The principal points that it is intense#; Vo cover in this inves tigation are as follows: 1. Determination of the per centage of forest land in each c >unty together with its compar ative value for agriculture, for the production of timber and as a protection for streams. 2. The determination of the percentage and location of the principal forest types together with the approximate stand of timber per acre of the different species. 3. A general study of the various forest industaies of the State with the object of ascer taining the amount of timber consumed by them and the amount of timber land that would be required to furnish them with a perpetual supply. 4. A study of the various methods of lumbering to deter mine what, if any, changes C)uld be recommended to im prove the condition of the forest and -prevent. unnecssary waste. 5. A study of the allied in dustries, such as farming, stock raising, and mining in their re lation to the forests in order that the relative importance of Because Its The Fourth. Gee whiz! What a great big man Uncle Sam isl And what A lot He has done Since he was begun! And why? Because it was on the fourth of July That he began His plan Of stepping out Without a doubt That if he waded right in He'd win! And, by zucks, so far, Hasn't he got tliar? And that ain't all. He ain't small At all, And all Of the western terrestrial ball That ain't otherwise engaged he Will look after. See? And some that is— As, for instance, that Spanish biz. And why? Because it is the Fourth of July, The greatest day On earth! And. say, When Freedom leads the way She waves The Fourth of July at slaves, And they sliike off the shackles then And become men! And why? Because it's the Fourth of Julyl Gee whiz, What a great day it is! Sizz! Fizz! Whiz! What a glory day it is! Let the cannon roar From ship and shore. Let the eagle, scream By lake and stream Let us march with a tread That will wake the dead, Let die bands play All day And sweep the sky With the flags on hand! And why? Because it's tfie Fourth of July! Gee whiz, What a tremendous, stupendous, Perpetual, perennial, pyroteclinical, in destructible, IndescribaL J. inimitable, incandescent, ebullient And enthusiastic day it is! And why? Because it's the Fourth of July! —W. J. Lampton, each can be determined. 6. The costs, frequency and effects of fjrest fires with the oblect of working out some prac tical system of fire protection. 7. The practicability of plant ing in forest trees abandoned field or other waste land with the object of preventing erosin and producing timber. The chief object of this study is to furnish to the people most interested more accurate know ledge of forest resources of the State. It will f®rm the basis of reccommendations the better management of our fdrest lands, and it is hoped it will re suit in the enactment of adequate forest laws and a more enlight ened and far-seeing State forest policy. The Cause of Many Sudden Deaths. There is a disease prevailing in this muiUy most dangerous because so decep , 111 II |IHL».£C\ tive. Many sudden deaths are caused ease, pneumonia, I||k£/ rrjFT *yttLJC heart failure or Jllv^i^Trvr a P°P le *y are Often 'AK ¥3 the result of kid ( J I ne y disease. If M fci kidney trouble is Uvi li H|H allowed to advance thekidney-poison ed blood will at tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of the bladder, brick-dust or sediment in the mine, head ache, back ache, lame back, dizziness, sleeplessness, nervous ttesa, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Bladder troubles almost always result from a derangement of the kidneys and better health in that organ is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kid neys. Swamp- Root corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often through the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and immediate effect of Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy it soon realized. It stands the highest be cause of its remarkable health restoring properties. A trial will convince anyone. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is •old by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar size bottles. You may have a •ample bottle and a book that tells all •boot it, both sent free by mail.

Southerner Attacks the Insti tution in this Section. At at recent session of the con ference of charities and correc tion at Buffalo, N, Y., A. J. Mc- Kelway of Atlanta, secretary of the national child labor commit tee for the Southern States, at tacked the institution of child labor in the South. He denied that fewer children are being employed in the South, saying, in part: "The oyster packing industry in the South is extensive along the Gulf coast. Children are numerous, and from eight years old and upward are employed in shucking the oysters p led upon tram cars, after having been run through a steamheatta chamber. Out of one force of 150 hands at work I counted thirty-five chil dren not over ten years old, ap parently. From the peculiar conditions of their employment they have absolutely no chance for an education. "The cigar industry in Tampa, Key West, and to a lesser decree in Richmond, Petersburg and Danville, Va„ employs a large number of children. In Tampa alone the number of children un der fourteen years increased in two years from a few score to more than a thousand. Former ly only Spanish and CDhan chil dren were emploved, but now a great number of the native white people of Florida have moved to Tampa that their children may learn this trade. "The students of the child labor problem know that the cot ton mill has always been cursed with child labor and its natural accompaniments of long hours and low wages. On account of non enforcement of laws, themselves defective, Southern cotton mills are conspicuous for the employ ment of children. Hundreds of them have been photographed at work within the last year, and they are but typical of tens of thousands of them working from ten to twelve hours a day, or night. The evil is too great to be concealed and the children are too numerous to be hidden. There is no possible excuse for such a wholesale abuse of child hood." Diversified Happiness. J. E. Passmore will be able this winter to live in comfort near Denison, Texas. He lives just southwest of the city, and cultivated 69 acres of land. Ac cording to the Dallas News, his crop results this year are as fol lows: One acre in peach trees, sweet potatoes planted between the rows. One acre in pears, cotton be tween the rows. One acre in peach trees, straw berries between the rows. One acre in peach trees, pea nuts between the rows. Half-acre in peach trees, cab bage and tomatoes between the rows. Five acres in peanuts, Twenty-five acres in corn. Two acres in watermelons. Three and a half acres in Irish potatoes. Eighteen and a half acres in cotton. Three acres in peanuts and cane. Four acres in sweet potatoes. Two acres in cane. That is living at home to per fection. It will make no mater ial difference to Mr. Passmore what price cotton will command for the next few months. In his case cotton will be velvet. When I look o'er the fatal list, So sad and so absurd, It almost seems July the Fonrth Is worse than George the Third!
