"That I* nothing more than a return

“WHEN YOU CUT DOWN A TREE
PLANT ONE TO TAKE ITS PLACE,”
SAYS GREAT FORESTRY EXPERT
Enos Mills Sounds Note
of Warning to Geor
gia Folk.
By SELENE ARMSTRONG.
(Correspondence from Tlfton, Ua.)
No work undertaken by Georgia club •
women Is of more profound significance;
oris more closely concerned'with the,,
social welfare than the attempt to ere- |
ate public Interest In the subject uf,
forestry. A feature of the splendid 1
program arranged by Mrs. J, K. Oltloy,
for Hie sessions of the Oeorgln Federu- i
tlon of Women's Club, convening In j
Tlfton. Is the address which was made '
Thursday evening by Enos A. Mills, j
government expert In the forestry serv. ■.
Ire of the United States department of I
agriculture.
Mr. Mill*, who Journeyed from Colo-;
rado to talk before the Federation on
"Our Forests and How to Save Them," I
la the greatest forestry expert In Amur- |
lea. For live years he has been from |
time to time employed by the govern- !
nienl to experiment In anil report on 1
forestry, and hns probably done more
than any living expert to arouse popu
lar Interest In the subject. His lectures
have been attended by thuusands at .
the Jamestown Exposition, and his na
ture book, which will be published |
stuns time next year, w ill doubtless be j
received with Interest throughout
America.
Lived in ths Forstte.
"Though I am called professor and I
doctor, and sometimes even reverend,”
explains Just Mr. Mills, "t have neveri
received any training In a school of j
forestry. For sixteen years l have
studied and worked In the open, living i
In the forests of the West, ami of:
course traveling over the country to
study conditions In all sections."
In discussing the subject In Its rela
tion to the South. Mr. Mills suld that
unless the people of our aeettun awake
to the Importance of saving our forests
shall In less than twenty years ex
perience a forest famine.
"I do not, of course, say that trees
must not lie cut down; that would he
absurd. But unless others are planted
In their stead, unless some organised
effort Is made to preserve forests In the
Houtb, the reault will he fulal to agri
culture and Industry In this part of the
ountry."
Just Practical Facte.
Reminded that few of us are ac
quainted even with the fundamental
scientific facts by which forestry Is re.
lated to climatic, agricultural, Indus-
trial and even racial conditions, Mr.
Mills answered:
‘That Is Hie sort of knowledge which
I am trying so hard lo disseminate. Just
practical facts, which will be under
stood by and will make their appeal to
every man. woman and child.
"J. Everyone should know that for-
wast^ and forest .lands. In order to
encourage the planting of trees by the
land owner."
The recent heated discussion between
the distinguished naturalist. President
Roosevelt, and Dr. W. J. Long has oc
cupied much apace In magaslnes, and
lias been the target for no little clever
newepaper fun. Mr. Mills, whose opin
ion la- regarded as authoritative, wan
asked to express himself In regard to
the controversy.
Roosevelt Partly Wrong.
“I can easily afford to do so.” he
replied, "Inasmuch as my position |i
almost neutral. I do not conclder
j Roosevelt wholly In the right, by any
| means. As for Dr. Dong, he IS one of
I the iflost fascinating writers I know on
1 natural hlatory, and at the same time
| commits certain Inaccuracies which
must Inevitably provoke an attack
sooner or later."
In connection with Mr. Mills’ visit to
I south Georgia, the story of a forestry
[movement now being organized In'
1 Ware county Is particularly Intareatlng.
; John W. Greer and others, of Way-
: croaa, liavo organised the “Country
Club of Ware County,” the purpoee of
I which le to plunt shade treea on both
sides of the public roads and to beau
tify tha country homes of that section.
Each member of th# club pledges him
self to plant 210 trees, and to replant
until all gups are filled.
Thus will the open road blossom Into
beauty and benevolence for the way
farer, and the man who Journeys that
| way will sing with Walt Whitman. "All
poems and heroic deeds were surety
conceived In the open air."

In a statement Issued Friday morning
by the railroad commission the rail
roads «f the state are warned that un
seemly delays on local shipments must
rea»e.
The commission stated that numer.
ous complaints had come to them from
over the state, particularly on ship
ments of bagging and ties. The state
ment Is sa follows;
"Nearly every railroad subject to the
Jurisdiction of the railroad commission
being represented, we wish to call at
tention to some complaints that are
coming Into the commlealon office dally.
These relate almost wholly to delays In
(lie shipments of goods, and particular
ly In the shipment of bagging and ties.
In one of these complaints, which Is
typical of all the others, the writer
says:
" ‘When we are without bagging, our
gins are stopped, the labor employed at
the gins Is Idle and on expense. In ad
dition to this Inconvenience, the farm
ers who rely on us to do their ginning
suffer great loss by their cotton not be
ing ginned. This lose does not only fall
on the glnnere, but falls heavily upon
towns and points where these gins are
located, where the glnners are unable
to secure bagging and ties. If the farm
er can not get hla cotton ginned at one
qrtiice he will haul hla seed cotton to
other points to have It ginned. You
will at once see what hardships and
loss we suffer by the careless handling
of these articles while In transit.’
"The writer of this letter had a ship,
inent of bagging and ties out from Sa
vannah to an Interior point in Georgia
j which was thirty-two days In transit.
[The rules of this commission are Just,
I fair and reasonable, and Impose a
