It was not until they read it in newspapers afterward that they Realized what a classic It was.” TRADES BABE FOR CHICKS. KANSAS CITY.

ATHENS, Dec. 6.—Professor Alfred Akerman, head of the department of forestry of the Georgia State College of Agriculture, has returned from North Georgia, where he has been ad dressing meetings of citizens in three of the mountain counties about the importance of prote< Ing the forests from fires in the fall. At the time of the meetings the atmosphere was -pungent with odors of burning leaves, smoke hung like a pall over all the mountain country, and the nights were lit up by fires that consumed the leaves and under brush of the forest areas. The heavy rains of the early part of the week quenched the fires, and the damage which the fires will do this year*s over. At least it is ex pected that there will not be any more important outbreaks. Professor Akerman told the moun tain people of the great losses which they were suffering each year from carelessly setting leaves on fire. Young sprouting trees are destroyed, shrubs and well started young trees ale either completely destroyed or are done irreparable harm; the litter and humus of the ' i’-gin soil is so dam aged as to cut off a part of the fu ture food supply of the forests, while even the large trees are checked In their growth and their value as lum ber depreciated by the ground fires. The people who attended the meet- irys expressed a determination to exercise greater care and to see to it that the careless who do start such fires are taught a lesson. “Enlarged Act” Throws Non- Irrigable Sections Open for Settlement.

The Secretary states that only th* simplest and most direct action bv the settler is required, and that it is wholly unnecessary for him to incur the charges now made by attorneys who draw up formal petitions tiuj are in fact no more effective than th* homesteader's own letter would be.
