Then the white man came and felled the giant trees of the fo rests, and soon the hills of old Madison were bedecked with log cabins. This . was a step forward. A remarkable fact about these settlers, they were of good old Anglo-Saxon race that helped make our United States, the leading nation of the world. A little later the saw mill came, and the more mo dern framed dwelling took the place of the log cabin. This was a step forward. Onr rail road is a step forward. So is our good . roads, schools, churches, and automobiles. Since the white man came to Madison County, every day has marked a step forward in the civic life of Madison. In closing, I will say to the kind editor and the good people of Madison: KEEP STEPPING; FORWARD. Written by J. Weldon Harrife AMERICAN FOREST WEEK, APRIL 27-MAY 3, 1925 Proclamation by President of United States. KEEP STEPPING FORWARD Every one can keep stepping forward in Madison County m whatever vocation they are fol lowing. Especially is this true of farming. Several years ago a farmer in Buncombe County produced 168 bushels of corn on one acre, until tne tarmers in Madison reach this amount there is room for improvement. Everything can be bettered and improved upon. Take our do mestic animals. They all come from the wild state, and were developed by man to serve his needs. The present day horse is supposed to have come from an animal no larger than sheep. "Ridiculous," you say, but consider the smallest Shet land pony, then compare this dwarf with our largest draft horses. This is an example of stepping forward with size. Next comes our old friend, the cow. The ancestors of our cows would give enough milk to raise one offspring in a year. What would a farmer want with a cow like that in this fast age? Compare a cow like this with the present day cow, that will probably produce her weight in milk and butter fat. This is another step forward in dairy products. Then comes the hen, and I can assure you that Queen Biddie" puts more money in the pockets of the people than any kind of property you can men tion in this county. We have records of hens laying 315 eggs in a year. A perfect hen will lay 365 eggs in a year, and an extra egg on leap year. Un til such, a hen is produced there is room for improvement.

"No. Nothing is ever., per- mitted'to be raised - here , ex In proclaiming American Forest Week; I de sire to bring to the attention of all our people the danger that comes from the neglect of our forests. For several years the Nation has observed For est Protection Week. It is fitting that this ob servance be enlarged. We have too freely spent the rich and magnificent gift that nature bestow ed on us. In our eagerness to use that gift we have stripped our forests; we have permitted fires to lay waste and devour them; we have all too of ten destroyed the young growth and the seed from which new forests might spring. And though we already feel the first grip of timber shortage, we have barely begun to save and re store. , We have passed the pioneer stage and are no longer excusable for continuing this unwise dissi nation of a great resource. To the Nation .it means the lack of an elemental necessity and the waste .of keeping idle or only partly productive nearly one-fourth of our soil. To our forest-us ing industries it means unstable investments, the depletion of forest capital, the disbanding of es tablished 'enterprises, and theecliri)f "one of our most important industrial groups. Our forests ought to be put to work and kept at work. I do not minimize the obstacles that have to be met, nor the difficulty of changing old ideas and practices. We must all put our hands to this. common task. It is not enough that the Federal, State, and local governments take the lead. There must must be a change in our national atti tude. Our industries, our landowners, our farm ers, all our citizens must learn to treat our forests as crops, to be used but also to be renewed. We must learn to tend our woodlands as carefully as we tend our farms. Let us apply to this creative task the boundless energy and skill we have so long spent in harvest ing the free gifts of nature. The forests of the future must be started to-day. Our children are dependent on our course. We are bound by a solemn obligation from which no evasion and no subterfuere will relieve us. Unless we1 fulfill our sacred responsibility to unborn generations, un ess we use with gratitude and restraint the gener ous and kindly gifts of Divine Providence., we shall prove ourselves unworthy guardians of a heritage we hold m trust. Now. Therefore, I, Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States, do recommend to the Gover nors of the various States to designate and set a- part the week of April 27-May 3, inclusive, 1925, as American Forest Week, arid, wherever practi cable and not in conflict with State law or accept ed cusoms, to celebrate Arbor Day within that week. And I urge public omcials, public and business associations, industrial leaders, forest owners, editors, educators, and all patriotic citi zens to unite m the common task of forest conser vation and renewal. In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington this twenty- first day of February, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United States of Ameri ca the one hundred and forty-ninth.

POPE, O. C. RECTOR AND C. L. R&DISILL AS ALDEBMEN Speeches at Mam Meeting Op timistic and; Progress The Keynote It was mads very clear at he mass meeting Wednesday nfcrtit that in placijjg an entirely aw ticket befote the town elector ate in May that no critickm or reflection intended fejt- the men who have held thge po sitions. They have &me the best the could under the con ditions which confronted' them. And nt any of the cdti board cares to serve ag-aiu. It was their desire that the tuties and responsibilities bft passed a- roud. Hence an entirely new board has been, nominated. A ad it was gratifying to see the spirit of harmony and uni ty of purpose prevailing at the meeting. The nominations were unanimous and it seemed to be the after-meeting talk that a better board could not have been selected. The meeting came to order with Mayor Roy Gudger in the chair and Mr. J. M. Baley as secretary. The courthouse was about one-third filled with representative citizens. Mr. Mashburn was called on and made a speech filled with op timism, patriotism, and pro gress. He called attention to the fact that Marshall had en larged its boundaries, taking in a great deal more territory hence more was to be done. The- water.: lines .are to be ex tended, the roads or streets are to have attention, the building of a tobacco warehouse is to mean progress for the town, and the building of the river road to Asheville will place Marshall on a boom. These i- deas were advanced by all the speakers. Mr. Baley spoke ex plaining how the retiring board had been handicapped with a heavy bonded indebtedness on the town on account of the water being put into the town and no money to? financ road, street; or othftr tmpcovements. OtjRer fine speeches were? made b Mr: Giy- T. Roberts and Mr.-. J; A. Ifearilriicks.. Chairma Gudjeer then Sailed ffrr- business. Mr. Mash urn was wMnioated? by Mr. Hendricks seconded by Mr. Guy V.

Gray, assistant director of extension, explained the service a county agent would be to the county. farmers and business men from various parts of the coun ty were present and spoke in behalf of the work. Mr. Gray explained that the State ex tension service is in a position to cooperate in the financing and supervising of the work. The commisioners made an order appropriating sufficient funds to meet the State appro priation. The board also ap pointed an agricultural com mittee composed of Guy V. Roberts, Charles Mashburn and George McKinney, who will co operate with the Extension forces in selecting the agent and to closely co-operate and assist the agent in his work in the county. The board recom mended that a man be secured as soon as possible, but that sufficient time be given to lo cate and secure a well trained man, of broad experience and one that is a recognized agri cultural leader and organizer. This progressive move for the county will mean more to the welfare of the entire county than anything else it could do, it is believed. This places Madison in a distinct class a mong the most progressive counties in the State and brings the number of counties in the State voluntarily employing county agents to 75.
