growing with suitable timber will sup- 

 ply the demand and avoid such long, 

 rough hauls. 



Quick growing, soft wood trees, on 

 land two moist for farm crops, will fur- 

 nish paper pulp in all the quantities re- 

 quired, if planted systematically and at 

 once. 



An army of investigators sent out to 

 determine the possibility of growing 

 trees, may consume a score of years, yet 

 nothing be accomplished, but an equal 

 expenditure of money and labor, in ac- 



tual planting of trees, will bring results 

 in less time. Stop considering whether 

 or not trees will grow and begin planting 

 in sober earnest in such magnitude as 

 will keep pace with the consumption. If 

 a tree removed will produce a dollar's 

 worth of lumber, plant a tree costing a 

 dime in its place. Go ahead with the lum- 

 ing, but do it intelligently, without 

 waste. Proceed with the manufactures, 

 but plant enough trees to equal those cut 

 down. 



Do things, and quit talking about it.
