Washington, Ausr. 1'4. Two men
in thfc United States confess to hav
ing incomes "in excess of $3,000,003
i year, according to information-ob-ained
at the Treasury department
today.
" Twenty-eight admitted having in-
' confes of $2,000,000 "dp," while 13
others say that their incomes are be
tween a million and a half and two
, millions.
' Of those whose incomes exceeds
$50,000 6,064, about tne-third of the
tctal number, are residents of New
' York state and half claim New York
City as their home.
,. New York Has Most.
' The 28 richest taxpayers are not
' evenly distributed. About one-half
of them live in New York. Two,
resident in Baltimore, are said 'o
have found the manufacture of mu-
V Jiitions exceedingly profitable; -one
lives in' Michigan, one in Ohjo, two
in Pennsylvania and one-in Rhode j
island and one m Texas.
Of the total wbo gave their in

only a small proportion are really in
the millionaire class, their earnings
:u many cases representing swollen
wartime profits, or the proceeds
from large undertakings.
Millionaires Cautious.
On the other hand, internal rev
enue officials point out that many
millionaires stick to conservative in
vestment, bearing small returns, an(W
that their incomes dig not exceed
$50,000.
There are 1,271 in the $50,000 to

and getting himself in condition Aox
the day's work?
Mr. Breen, a well-known member,
of the local bar association, has not
found it necessary to remain at home
one day during the last 40 years on
account of illness,
His daily regimen is to rise about
6 o'clock, don an ld pair of shoes
and overalls and then Sally forth to
the park, where he walks briskly up
and down the hillsides for 30 to 45
minutes. He then junlps into his
bath and later eats breakfast.
, Men Should Exercise.
"Every man who reaches middle
life should take regular exercise and
thus minimize the possibility of a
breakdown," said Mr. Breen. "I
have lived near Hanscom park for
nearly 20 - years and nearly every
morning, except in severe cold
weather I go out for a nlbrning
walk, rhis exercise stimulates the
circulation and otherwise aids the
proper functioning of the body. It
gives zest for breakfast. It is wrongy
to eat breakfast. within a few min

exercise or a bath. I have dumb
bells and other apparatus at home
for use when it is not convenient to
go to the park." f
He said he was not boasting about
the fact that he has not taken a
whole day oiffin 40 years on account
of disability. The only illness he has
suffered in two scpre years was .in
attack of hay fever. Headaches and
other aches-are almost unknown to
him. '
"Early to Rise.".
"I have been following this sys

it will do for a fellow if he keeps it

physical benefits of these morning

Nebraska has no waste lands.
This is the conclusion of Dr.
George E. Condra, director of the
Nebraska Conservation and Soil
Survey, in his report for 1920. Every
acre of Nebraska soil is capable of
producing something i of i valuable
service to man, but every acre of
the state's great area is not em
ployed as it properly might be, nor
us'ed in the way to which if is best
adapted. , :
Nebraska is popularly reterrea to
as a treeless state, .Dy wnicn is
meant that it has none of the great
forests that characterize other re
gions. Several reasons may be
ascribed for this situation. The one
most generally advanced, and per
haps most tenable) is that firespe
riodically swept the great prairies of
Nebraska, burning off-the grasses
and with them the young shoots
that might have developed into
splendid woods. .
Fires Before Man's Time.
These fires were started- before
man s time jn some of the many
ways froni which they now orig
inate; spontaneous combustion, re
sulting from fermentation of decay
ing vegetation; a bolt of lightning
striking in the right spot, or any one
of a number of other causes, but the
effect was always the same; the open
spaces . were swept clean by the
flames and sprouts, and saplings
went with the lesser 'growth.
so, wniie the regions to the east
of the Missouri saw endless forest
spring un after the elacial ice ca
had melted, the nlateau to the west
rising in its graceful sweep from the
river to the Rockies, vas left so
bare as to deserve the( name of tree
less. . ,
Here and there along the water
courses grew a thin fringe of Cot
tonwood, box elder, or some other
varieties of timber, but the broad
stretches between were barren of
trees. -
v Early Settlers Wasteful.
Early settlers found in these
clumps or groves wood for' their
uses and made havoc among the
limited patches. Their present needs
were more imperative than anything
the future held, and they were not,
even at the best,' conservationists.
Many creeks -and minor water
courses were completely denuded
of the slight timber that lined their
banks, and the growth that gave the
"Pine Ridge" its name went swiftly
down as settlers cut the pines anil
cedars for log buildings, fences and
firewood.
Today the traveler through Ne
braska might get an idea that the
state had once been forested, so
numerous- are the farm groves. These
are all Of recent origin, however, the
response of thrifty, energetic set-,
tiers to the slogan sounded by Julius
Sterling Morton, "Plant Trees!"
"Arbor Day Means Much,
Arbor Day means something to
Nebraskans, and the beautiful groves
that surround all the older farm
homes, the Vwind breaks" and wood
lots, are all proofs of how zealom
ly the admonition of thefar-seeing.
sage of Arbor lodge j has been
heeded. 1
t is worthy of note here, however,
that the so-fcalled "timber culture"
law, under which many a claim was
filed and many a Quarter section
passed from public to private owner
ship, produced little if any lasting or
serviceable effect in-he -jyay of
actuallv inducing timbe culture.
Nebraska ! sou will grow trees. It
also grows crops more immediately
profitable and of larger demand and
wider service to the; world. Some
portions of the state, though, will
not produce wheat or corn, or even
grasses in advantageous quantity
under existing conditions. Experi
ment has proved that these wild and
unattractive lands will grow trees.
Quoting from Dr. Condra's report:
Pines in Many Places.
"Pines - occur at a number of
places in the western part of the
state. Growing among the pines
are red cedar and a few junipers.
Most pines occur in the Pine Ridge,
Wildcat Ridge, North Platte and
Lodge Pole areas, occupying about
500 square miles. The trees are at
their best on Pine Ridge, being 12
to 24 inches in diameter and 40 feet
or more high. The trees are quiti
free from disease and the timber is
of good quality.
"Pines are also found in good
stands along the Niobrara, as. in
Schlagle canyon south pf Valentine,
north of Ainsworth and irt Long
Pine canyon. The broad leaf species
of the east and the pines and cedars
rom' the west meet along the
Niobrara. .""
Experiments Successful.
"The federal government hsi ex
perimented with tree-planting near
Halsey, and shown conclusively
that certain species can be grown on
the sandhills of Nebraska. Many
ranchmen, profiting by this ex
perience, have beautified their places
and grown large windbreaks for
protection. ThevResTer,ye now has
several hundred acres ot very gooa
nine" forest, which can be seen
from Burlington trains as they pass
through the Middle Loup valley
abova Halsey.
"The utilization of forests is a
problem in Nebraska. Trees occur
m mixed stands, and there is no
definite market for their products,
The people do not understand the
use of the axe and the saw. Fire
wood Has little , Memand, because
coal, is used Generally. Lumber
comes from other states, and it will
not be possible to produce lumber
in Nebraska in competition with
large lumber districts andtheir
methods of distribution.
"Trees are used mostly in Ne
braska for windbreaks, and parking
purposes, for which the selection of
species has not been . very gooa.
Also, the trees have received little
care and it will require much ef
fort to repair the trees ot JNe
braska's parks, streets and lawns."
Intelligent Attention Necessary.'
What we intend- to suggest is
that Nebraskans give more intelligent-attention
to the problem of
forestry. , '
It is not proposed that we under
take to enter into competition with
the great timbered sections of the
world, or to vie with Washington
or Oregon in the production of
lumber. What may be done is sim
ple enough? Jhe so-called "sand hill"
segion-of the state embraces an area
of approximately 20,000 square
miles. Some of this is available, for
farming, some for grazing, but most
of it is idle because it does not per
mit the profitable employment of
methods of agriculture or stock
raising now in vogue.
But all of it will grow trees, es
pecially pine trees.
Just now the world is Jooking
over its stock of timber. One of the
results of the war was to waste an
enormous Quantity of wood. In'
England Old trees of centuries ,of
growth were cut to Jfteet the ic-
mands of the army. France sacri
ficed many acres in excess of its
normal cutting in both public and
private timberland. Governments
there are taking immediate steps to
replace the trees. Germany had
long conserved its timber, and had
even imported from Russia, Poland
and other neighboring lands when
an actual excess of home-grown
trees was available, looking pru
dently ahead to the day when its
neighbors' sutjply would be ex
hausted. Government Plans Replacement
In the United States, the govern
ment is negotiating -'with owners of
trreat - timber tracts. studying
methods by which the forest may be
preservedyby replacing used timber
with new growth. I his nas been
proven practical in Europe and
other countries, and as far as it has
been tried in the United "States it
has been successful.
We have no indention of going
into detail on this at the moment.
The great areas of the sand hills in
Nebraska. iPt present idle, may be
made to bring forth pine timber.
Uses will be found tor the trees
I . , . CI 1 J u
wnen iney are grown, onuuiu
lumber be not available, the im
provement of the soil, by reason of
the numus crearea, win jusiny ure
forestation of this region.
Extension of the grazing grounds
from which Will come the beef herds
of the future is an incentive. -Many
uses for the small trees suggest
themselves. A jack pine in the sand
hills will produce a fence post in
10 years. Nebraska has and will
have considerable use for fence
posts. The lumber here produced
can be used for making boxes, berry
and fruit baskets and crates, butter
tubs, egg cases and slack barrel
cooperage stock. Thousands of car
loads of this material is used in this
state, all shipped in from abroad.
Conservation Possible.
One of the sights noted from a
car window down about the middle
of the "Maryland peninsula" was a
saw mill alongside a canning fac
tory in a small pine "forest," where
fruit and berry boxes were being
turned out and going almost straight
from the saw to the iactory, where
they were being filled and sent to
market. That is real conservation,
and is not an altogether impossible
picture for Nebraska. v
Ihis topic js not new.' L. t. Har
rison of York long agolroposed it
to the people of the state, and espe
cially to the legislature. The Bee
printed a number of articles from
Mr. Harrison, giving the result of
is extensive experiments and ob
servations. His suggestions were
supported by the editor of The Bee.
The federal government has shown
us that Harrison was right. If his
dvice had been taken when first
given, the state would now beget
ting the benefit of a huge growth of
pine and other proper timbef in the
sand hills. It is not too late to
start. Time will be required, for it
takes years to grow a crop of trees.
If the legislature will consider
this question and set about the work
f gradual anorestation of the bare
lands in northwestern Nebraska,
orking along a definite and com
prehensive plan, it will be doing a
real service to the citizens o the
future. Those now here who hap
pen to be left in 1940 or 1950 will
r-rse up and call blessed the men
who made possible the advantages
of a real pine woods region where
now only sandy wastes and scant
vegetation exists.
