Exacting study Is now being made by the for carry departments of the United State- and the various states for the purpose of clearing and replanting the vast acreage with trees. It takes years to reforest land, and we should begin now to sene the future generation«. There should be an organization In the Unit ed Slates composed of lovers of trees and nature. This organization should have for It* purposes the protection of the forests that still remain and for the production of new one.«. It should through ’ the public press' and the schools, carry on a plan of educating the public In the beauties ami use« of forests.
