A decade or so ago in driving about our (jounty one would pass through stretches of beautllul woodland, tbe stately pine towering above oek, hick ory abd other varieties of native tree*. Now ns we pass along the roads, a great strech of hold after held meet* our eye. Five years sgo this stretch of held was one stretch of cotton . To day the monotony is broken somewhat by Helds of corn and oats. Not only have lhe tree* been deaden ed. cut down and burned, but the very •tumps, as they ought to have been, have been dug and removed. W'ood. which ban been wasted. Is be coming a precious commodity. On y a few men lee* mad after cotton have (•reserved here and there little bits of woodland. Many who tried for a time to preesrve some small aiea of wood land tor their own and their tenant*’ usa war* so annoyed by the depreda tions of men living on adjoining al ready denuded farms, that one after another followed In clearing to the ut termost. . It Is surprising that a good man who would be Insu'ted If he should be ao cutad of stealing will vet hsul wood from another's land for bis own use and sometimes even sell it without the knowledge or permission of tbe owner, it I* also surprising that many tenant* who mean to do the right are yet so «hort sighted a* not to see that the WA-loful practices followed In regard to wood will in a few years result in a discontinuance of the present system of a free use of wood by tenants. Tula free use of wood has been no small item in tbo cost of living, aud has helped in no small degree to make tbe poorer people In our mld«t better off tbau people of the tame class lu other parts of the world. There U another and just as serious side to the loss of woodlands. On some cold day just feel the wind as It rushes across a great stretch of open country. In tbe spring It whips young cotton and corn leaving It retarded or lifeless and sometimes covers It np with sand brought by the winds for mile*. Tbe damage to young crops from cold winds Is Incalculable. The exposure of the land to tbe winds often retards preparation and planting The ground on one farm exposed to the West winds is often frozen when the soil on another nearby hut somewhat protected from the blinds is In good condition for work.
