(Continued from Page 6) but probably NOT for anybody else. He said that the mill man, owning his own cutover land and with the perpetuation of his mill operation for an incentive, could raise Yellow Pine economically and profitably. But he didn't think people could ever buy timberless land, plant trees on it, and raise them for a pro6t crop. He said, according to the note I made then: "If the mill man leaves immature trees when he logs, then protects the cutover land from hogs and fire, and from that time on cuts only the mature trees, letting the new crop grow continually, he CAN perpetuate a mill operation, and make timber growing pay." What a prophet he wast Every mill man in Southern Pine territory now knows that all this was gospel truth, and many hundreds of mills are doing today what he preached should be done years ago. If it had been, the South would today be covered with sturdy commercial forests. But the history of the world tells us that prophets are not often listened to during their own time.

Is it still standing and holding the British Flag 214 feet above the ground at Kew Gardens? Or have the Boche bombs struck it down? It was a Douglas Fir stick from British Columbia, and is the record holder for a wooden pole. The next highest one we ever heard of is a 204-foot Douglas Fir pole standing on the campus of the University of British Columbia, at Vancouver. **

I saw a newsreel picture the other day showing Ote English collecting pots and pans made of aluminum fron ttre British housewives, to be used in airplane manufacture. And it recailed the fact that aluminum is one of man's newest and most valuable metals. It was born only about a generation ago, and what a discovery that was! Without that strong, light metal, what would modern aircraft be like? And, looking at in that wan is it a blessing or a curse?
