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.

JA complaint was filed in county
