THE BETZ PLANT WHEN I RETIRED, JAN. 1st, 1915 
for the purpose of seeing how people in the oldest countries in the world live, leaving ths 
largest concern of its kind without one dollar of indebtedness. 
As l had crossed the Atlantic and Pacific many times, I realized that the only way to 
derive full benefit from the trip was to inane a contract with the American Express Co., 
for an automobile and a good guide to meet us at the docks on the arival of the steamer 
and at the hotel each morning while traveling through China, Japan, the Pnillippines, Malay 
States,, India, Burma, Palestine and Africa, and while many whoi know nothing about? 
the wonderful opportunities one has to make money by getting in contact with manufac¬ 
turers in these countries, may consider this unnecessary, you can rest assured that with a 
good guide you will receive ninety-nine times more for your money by seeing objects and 
places that can be located only through a native guide. 
I should like to cover this trip again with 25 live business 
expense many times by knowing where and how to 
been in special lines for generations.

Speaking of individuals who are inter¬ 
ested in reorestation, probably you people 
of the Central States Forestry Association 
know all about the activities of Mr. Frank 
S. Betz of Hammond, Indiana. 
Mr. Betz might be called a modern 
“Johnny Appleseed” if it were not for the 
fact that he is undoubtedly a keen and up- 
to-date business man. 
I note that Mr. Betz says in a recent 
communication that he expects to round out 
this year the distribution, through clubs, 
associations, Boy and Girl Scouts, 4-H mem 
bers and public school children, of 100 mil¬ 
lion trees and tree seeds. 
May the good Lord send us more men 
like this tree-loving, tree planting gentle¬ 
man from Indiana! 
FROM THE HOLY LAND 
New York City, Feb. 4, 1932 
“Dear Mr. Betz: 
“I have returned from my world tour in 
which I had the opportunity of visiting Pal¬ 
estine, where I saw millions of little trees 
growing from the seed which you so gener- 
ouly contributed. Ere long those barren hills 
of Judah will once again be clothed with 
verdure. Even this generation will see a mar- 
veious change in the country which will be 
largely brought about by your munificant gin. 
I “I am looking forward to visiting Chicago 
on Saturday night when I am due to arrive 
to lecture on Sunday, February 28, at the 
Chicago Academy of Sciences on the Ftebirtn 
of Palestine at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I 
trust that it may be possible for you to be 
present, as I am sure you would like to see 
the film of the tree planting. I shali look for¬ 
ward to seeing you some time after the meet¬ 
ing, if only for a few minutes. 
“1 am telling the world what you have 
done for Palestine.

CHRISTMAS TREES TO U.S.A. 
Montreal, Quebec, reports more than 
4,000,000 Christmas trees shipped from east¬ 
ern Canada to 15 states. Of the 700 carloads, 
many will go as far west as Iowa and South 
to Louisiana-CH ICAGO TRIBUNE, Dec. 5 37 
Think of how high school graduates who, by 
investing from $10 to $15 yearly for 3-year- 
old Wi-.ITE, BALSAM or DOUGLAS FIFi, 
COLORADO BLUE, NORWAY, BLACK 
HILL, ENGELMAN, or WHITE SPRUCE 
and allowing them to grow 3 or 4 years, could 
pay their way through college, and think of 
the farmers who could make $500 an acre, as 
reported in Government bulletins, from land 
now bringing in no income. 
The funny part of this proposition is, the 
very men who “poo hoo” the idea will pay as 
much as $3.00 for a tree each Christmas that 
they could buy for less than two cents each. 
Write the Dept., of Agriculture, Wash., 
for bulletin telling about the money made 
raising Christmas tres.

“TOBACCO ROAD” 
WE PAY YOU TO READ IT! 
The “hottest” proposition in theatrical his¬ 
tory of this generation. Closed by the police 
in many cities. The 
most sensational, yet 
authentic book, ever 
published depicting 
conditions surround¬ 
ing thousands of 
farmers with incomes 
of from 0 to a few 
dollars yearly, many 
of whom live two and 
even three families 
In a room. 
The greatest tri¬ 
umph ever opened on 
Broadway. Thousands 
turned away. Yet sensational as it is, those 
who know nothing of what becomes of the 
millions of boys and girls who flock to our 
cities from worthless soil-eroded farms with¬ 
out trades or experience or what they do for 
a livelihood should read it. 
Don’t think this applies to the south only. 
Boys and girls everywhere are out hustling 
for themselves and must make a living some 
way. 
260 pages of facts which 99 out of 100, who 
know nothing about the ways of the world, 
will say are exaggerated. 
Why pay $3.60 to see the play, or $2.50 j 
for the book. We send it in sealed package, j 
postage paid, for $1.10. Return it in ten days [ 
and we will send you a bag of assorted tree 
and shrub seed for producing over $50 worth 
of trees and flowering shrubs, including 1,000

COTTONWOOD LUMBER 
Your lumberman will tell you giant COTT¬ 
ONWOOD trees will be great money-makers. 
Houses built of COTTONWOOD 45 to 60 
years ago, west of the Mississippi, are still 
in excellent condition. It it fine for sheeting, 
first -flooring, and all inside work that is 
painted or enamelled, and worth as much as 
lumber that costs five times more. 
COTTONWOOD railroad ties have been in 
the ground for 30 years. A concern at Yank¬ 
ton. S. D., ship millions of egg cases of COTT¬ 
ONWOOD to all parts of the world. 
They will grow practically anywhere, are 
fast growers, and attain an enormous size in 
20 years. 
By planting 15x15 ft. centers, which pre¬ 
vents limbs from growing, each tree should 
produce from 800 to 1200 board feet of lumber. 
TO THOSE WHO CAN SEE AHEAD, 
HAVE THE LAND, AND WANT TO BE 
THE FIRST IN THE FIELD, WE WILL 
SHIP 1,000, 12-18 inch, FOR $6.50. OR 
18-24 inch, ONLY $8.50.
