To (he Editor As we spent the winter in the south along with the rest of the snow birds upon arriving home this week I noted that Ned Clark was awarded the Tree Farmer for Morrow County this year, and wish I could have attended the meeting with him The people of this county do not know what great effort and labor this award entails thousands of trees cut to thin the thickets, thous ands of plots seeded to grass and many new tree seedlings planted with no hope, in our lifetime, of renumeration Congratulations. Ned. for your effort and patriotism I received this same award three years ago and the Chamber of Commerce here did a miserable Job of awarding it NTT mention of the many acreas thinned, at great expense, no mention of the 23 .ouo trees planted by this family which was a record of the state and maybe for the nation What family dug 23.oon holes in one spring Patterson and I logged Bound Mountain and I defy anyone to find one skid roud or trail ori it We did it for an example to show the rest of the Willow Creek watershed could be logged but the Cham tier of County Court did nothing to get control of that watershed Now it is to be logged with five clear cuts and nine miles of road which means 18 miles of gutter to help fill the new dam with mud I offered to trade a ha If section up at Basmuss for 420 acres on the north slop«- of l.ittle Haldy and give $100.000 to boot and d<-ed the 420 to the county on condition that it never lie logged and was turned down I am an old man and I'm getting bitter laiok at what happ*-ned to our Indian Cave - NEx¡¡in ts¡t best!
