W course if we whose citizens had showmarked interest in forest conservation got first choice. The work in Moore county has been done under the direc tion of the Association and has been so planned as to afford to the larger towns and the lands surrounding them. The pmnan- ence of this work should be as sured, and to us there seems no better way than through continued cooperation with the organization which has already done so much in that line. The expense entailed is so little^ only two cents an acre—and the benefits so great that no pro perty owner in Moore County, particularly in the wire grass section, can afford to stays out side. Just now the men are run ning a line between Southern Pines and Pinehurst following the telephone line. This will one who has any suggestion to go over these lines with them, as they desire to have the lines so located as to give the best possible protection. Federal, state and county i governments are so anxious toj encourage the work of the As-1 sociation that each year they j match the monies raised by the | Association, and in this way; quite a sum is realized for pre- i vention work. | Y'our membership fee or any j donation you desire to make | should be sent to H.
