Tha G.orsia Forestry Aisoci*
tells us that over five million dol
lars i* lost annually l>y the destruc
tion from fires in tin* forest of the
stale.
Five million dollars is no small
fitruro even in the:c* days of unpre
cedented prosperity. To think that
this much money is beinp taken from
<»ur state mainly through carelessness
is in no way funny hut rntdier piti

thought to the matter.

underbrush and grass because they
think the bid! weevil wili be killed,
still otheis adhere to the ancient
custom that grass burned now will be
greener in the spring. In neither
ca-o is the reason a just one. We
know that much valuable timber is
being destroyed in every case. We
know now that the boll weevil isn’t
destroyed this way. When this little
bug hibernates he goes into the top
of trees, under bark .and in knot

All of us know or should know that
burning dead gra*s does not make
the new grass greener. To the con
trary, the n»w tender blades are
killed and only the hardy stubs sur
vive to come out in spring.
Dr. Charles Hefty in a ncent ad

that the pine sapling is to be the
great money maker for Georgia. In
addition to the value that the pine
tree now has for its luniber qualities,
the use cf the pine sailing for paper
pulp is being rapidly perfected.
