"In Minnesota, it would seem to me that the same 

 policy would be pursued as was done by Roosevelt 

 and Pinchot in 

 the National 

 Forests, by 

 setting aside 

 all of the land 

 which the 

 state owns in 

 the forest sec- 

 tions of Min- 

 nesota, s t p - 

 ping the sale 

 of their land 

 and timber and 

 waiting for a 

 c 1 a s sification 

 of the area

eHminate the larger agricultural areas and set aside 

 permanently the forest areas for forest purposes and 

 have this under the administration of the Forest Service 

 and let the lumbering be pursued under proper silvi- 

 cultural methods by the state forester."

Wrong again. This is simply one of the freaks of nature that we read so much about but see so little of. It is really a tree 

 grown into the approximate shape of a horse. It is located in the woodyard of the Huntington estate at Santa Barbara, Cali- 

 fornia. Mr. Huntington, purchaser of the famous "Blue Boy" painting at $480,000 and which had just arrived at the time this
