: Tree-Planting Nebraska Need, Editor Asserts Colonel McCullough of Omaha Speaks on Forestry at Com munity Club Meeting 3 at Minden. > • " ! Minden, Neb., Aug. 29.—T. W. Mc Cullough of The Omaha Bee, presl t* .'lent of the Nebraska Forestry asso ciation, addressed the Community Jclub of Minden at Its monthly dinner here tonight. He had for his topic • ‘‘Forestry In Nebraska.” '1 Colonel McCullough paid tribute to • J. Sterling Morton, Robert W. Furnas, Jl)r. George B. Miller, and other pio Jneers in the work, who did so much •Jn their day to Interest the people of ■Nebraska In the work of planting • trees. ^ He also commended the acceptance • by the state of the gift of Arbor • •Bodge and its grounds, to be main .Itained for the public as a memorial A to Its founder, and expressed the hope • that in time the people of Nebraska J would In other substantial ways re » member the men who laid so well the ,ifoundatlon of the commonwealth. Must Plant Trees. , Possibilities of forestry In Nebraska Jwere told In simple sentences, point ing out what has been done and what J J is possible to do. The great need of • timber cultivation was emphasized by •|J reference to the steadily Increasing JUM of wood in industry and the arts, .•and the continually diminishing sup £ Ply. Americans are using timber •five times faster than they reproduce Jit. and either must mend their ways, ’•or face a forestless future. |{ Nebraska has an immense area that • is capable of bearing pine timber J which now produces little or nothing. •The sand hills region will be better J grazing country if it is forested; {planting trees in that desolate region •will not only produce timber that is {sorely needed, but provide good graz ing ground for more cattle and sheep • than now are fed there. J Many acres in other parts of Ne-' Jbraska are now waste land, which • could be made to bear useful trees. J A farmer does not need a forest, but ihe does need a woodlot, from which he can harvest fuel for his domestic J uses, and many a sawlog that will • bring him lumber for his many needs. > Nature Limits Supply. • Farmers of Nebraska are paying a {steadily mounting freight bill on lum J her that could well be produced in {the state. Cost of fence posts is J mounting, not so much because a *• combine controls the output as for l the reason that nature has set a limit, I and no longer grows the cedar trees J as fast as they are used. . This can be remedied by the plant ’•ing of cedars. Cottonwood, tolerated • because It will grow rapidly and any • where, now is In demand aa the best J wood for making containers for but • ter and other foods, for wooden shoes, I and a variety of uses in Industry. A 2 useful tree costs no more to plant and raise than does one of little or no use, ,2 and when the people of Nebraska be * gin to plant and nourish useful trees, • ordering their selections according to 2 their needs, they will realize the true » spirit of Arbor day. { The sentimental side of tree plant 12 Ing, exhibited in the memorial high • way for the soldiers of the land was ;J highly praised by the speaker. l£f • lorts of the Nebraska Forestry- asso { i iatlon to secure the enactment of a 2.hill creating a state forester and giv ■ ing him certain powers and duties { were told of. and a promise made that * the efTort would he renewed at the I* next session of the legislature. • ___ • Automobile Obtained < Falsely, Police Charge JA complaint was filed in county 'court at Columbus. Neb.. Tuesday '2 by County Attorney Walter charging • Frank Archer of Omaha with ob J'taining an automobile and a check • under false pretenses and lmpersonat », ing another man. 2 The complaint brought to light the * story of how Archer is alleged to I have used Liberty bonds stolen from | an Iowa bank In the purchase of an • automobile from a Creston (Neb.) ! garage man, August 11, 1922. _ ; Hastings Council 0.
