The Chamber of Commerce otSylva will be hosts- to farmers of ? Jaekson County- at a dinner meeting to be held next Monday evening lit 7 o'clock. The Agricultural Committee of the Chamber has issued invitations to six farmers from each of the townships of the county to be present at the meeting. Every member of the cham ber is expected to be present and. to pay for his own dinner and for that of one farmer. ; ^ A similar meeting was held a year ago, at which time the campaign, tor the improvement of dairy cattle and the expansion of the dairying- indus try of the county \f3s launched. As a result of the meeting Jackson county, through the efforts of the farmers, the chamber of commerce, banks, business men and the county agent, Mr. C. W.

C., Oct. 20?State rather than, Federal activity in for est\conservation must be looked to for the main progress in timber grow1 ing from now on, W. B. Greeley,: Chief of the Forest Service, United States Department of Agriculture, told the meeting of State Foresters assembled here to confer on Federal cooperation in forestry. The Federal forest policy for a good many yeara to come, according to the Chief For ester, was completed with the enact-J ment of the Clarke-McNary Law in 1924, providing for financial coop eration in forest fire control between the Federal Government, the States, j and private landowners, and the chief; development henceforth should be in I the forestry undertakings of States,! local institution^, and individuals. Fifty million acres of forest land should be acquired by the States, | counties, and municipalities, in addi- i tion to their present holdings of 11 million acres, said Mr. Greeley, and the Federal Government should add 8 or 10 million acres to its present forest area of 89 million acres. "Per haps the greatest single obstacle toj the rapid spread of timber growing in the United States," he contin ued, "is the unstable ownership of forest land; and it is incumbent up on public agencies to put V greater stability into our forest land situa-| tion by a vigorous extension of pub lic forest ownership, not only as meeting an urgent problem in land utilization but as offering substan tial public returns in the long run. Moreover the more demonstration we can get in all parts of the country of good forest practice and profitable forest management the more will the whole process of reforestation by all agencies be stimulated."
