superintends the fire, or how much
he knows.
Fertilizer for Trees
Go into a forest where fires are
unknown, and pull back the leaf mold
and accumulated decomposed vegeta
tion, and you will find right at the
surface of the earth myriads of little
roots that, seem almost as alive as
worms. They arc there gathering
moisture and fertilizer for the larg
er roots of trees some distance away.
Burn off that mold, and what is left
for the trees to feed on?
Dr. Chas. H. Herty has done more
to revive interest in the badly used
and sorely neglected Georgia pine
than any other living man, and his
voice has rung out from platform af
ter platform urging people to put an
end to forest fires. He has said that
the state cannot develop a paper in
dustry while indulging in the insaire
luxury of forest fires. He estimates
that if the fires can be prevented the
pines will bring the state more mon
ey than the cotton crop.
The Southeastern Development
Hoard is working on the idea that
the game and recreational attrac
tions in Georgia ian and will pro-
duie more than all of the agriculture.
Yet, burned areas leave nothing for
game to eat. The fire leaves nothing
for the trees to feed on. Therefore,
the fire is the enemy of the trees,
worth more than cotton; and starves
out the game, more valuable than all
of the agriculture.
Annual Acreage Loss
The trees from an acre of burned
area yielded their owner $2.70 a
year, or approximately 80 per cent
per annum more. In other words, the
man who burrs his lands periodical
ly destroys 80 per cent of the value
of his tree crop, or $2 10 per acre.
This is the estimate of the state’s
forest service, with headquarters in
Atlanta, supposedly coordinated with
Mr. Linder’s agricultural department.
If it is not, it should be, for the ag
riculturalists of the state have more
interest in trees than anybody else.
This loss is figured on trees alone,
It does not take into consideration
the loss that the owner sustains be
cause he has starved his wild game
ard birds when be burns the woods.
He bums much of this game with h>=
fires, and he destroys practically all

of its food. The birds are killed out
and the boll weevil and other pests
come in and take possession of his
fields ns the birds disappear. Then
comes loss of crops ai d the expense
of spraying, poisoning, etc., to pro
tect from the pests. Here begins the
real road to poverty. I’rior to that \
there was hope. Now all is despair,
and the fire fiend caused it. You
cannot burn your forests and have
them too.
At the time of the bumning no
damage is apparent to the owner. He
thirks that what he destroyed made
room for the bigger and better trees
But the heart circles after a tree is
cut down for market will tell the sad
story. The big trees suffered starva
tion when left only ashes on which
to feed. The impoverishment and lack
of nourishment will never be over
come. The signs will be there as long
as the lumber lasts, and its life will
not be as great when used for com
mercial purposes. Nothing that is un
derfed is ever so useful again.
Here’s Encouragement
The Superior Products Company,
owning two hundred and two thou
sand acres of forest land in Clinch
and Echols counties, have learned
this lesson. They realize that if fire
sweeps over their land each year it
will cost them $-126,000 loss to tim-
her alone. This is on the basis of
j $2.10 an acre loss because of fire.
! So, instead of ploying the part of
“practical men,” they have been
building up a fire fighting sendee
since 192(1, ard they have reduced to
1 a minimum the fire hazards. They
have a fire department almost like
I one in the big cities. Telephone lines
| have been built, a radio central sta
tion, and automobiles have been
equipped with radios. W'ater pumps
have been installed on trucks; forest
riders constantly patrol the woods.
Lookout towers are used to detect
fires and give warnings. They con
sider it wise to spend more of the
half million dollars that fire would
cost, so as to save the other part of
it. They realize that fire prevention
is the most profitable work that can
be done when forests are to be
grown. The pine tree is a hardy
plant It needs less coddling or nurs
ing than almost any other tree, but
it does need protection from fire.Give
it that protection, and every circum
stance assures profit to the owner.
The time for burning or belting fine
timber for the sake of getting a lit
tle new ground belonged to the past,
not to the present.
i It is becoming as important for
Georgians to protect their pine tim
ber from forest fires as it is for a
city to protect itself with fire depart
ments.
| Burning a Building No More Foolish
I If Mr. Under were to urge these
i Superior Pine Products people to
bum over their lands once a year
they would doubtless think of him
| about as if he had urged the burn-
, ing out of the insides of the state cap
itol every year for sanitary purposes.
In fact, they might think more of
the capital suggestion,

Georgia’s Fire Loss
Georgia, has, according to the agri
cultural department figures, fifteen
million acres of pile forests. If it is
allowed to be burned over each year
the fire loss would be $31,600,000 an
nually. The State Forester says the
loss is $4(1,000,000 a year.
This loss equals every dollar of
the state’s taxes. The people com
plain that taxes are so burdensome
and yet the fires are costing just as
much as the total tax bill, ar.d the
commissioner of agriculture and
some other good people are urging
that the destruction continue,

forests is as sincere as was thut ir.

people thought it necessary to burn

LEGALIZED WINES
VOTED BY HOUSE
Atlanta, March 8.—Voting to le
galize wine if Georgia goes wet, the
house of representatives Friday
cleared its docket of prohibition is
sues.
Proposals to bring legal beer and
liquor back into the state went by
the desk several days ago and are
now in the senate.
The wine bill says anybody can
make ard sell wine free from tax,
provided it is fermented from grapes
and fruits produced in Georgia.
Designed as “a road to temper
ance,” it gives the farmer a mono
poly and encourages vineyards, com
mented its author, Rep. Carlisle Cobb
of Athens.
If the people' rejected repeal, there
would be no wine under provisions
of this bill. Should repeal succeed,
wir.e would be legalized automatical
ly in wet counties. In dry counties,
however, 10 per cent of the people
would constitute authority to call an
election on. the question.
Farmers could grow their own
grapes, ferment their own wines and
sell the wholesalers, retailers, or di
rect to the consumer, under regula
tions prescribed by the commission
er of agriculture.
The liquor bill .calls for a state
wide referendum on May 16; the
other legalizes beer outright.
For Sale: 1,000 bushels of good
sound ear corn and several tons of
pretty, bright peavine hay.
