Not only corporations but individuals often own acres and miles of land that do not nay the taxes assessed against tbem, but that could be made valuable in the future by planting them with trees Why not invest the money in trees, plant tbem on the vacant land and let them grow.

"Our reports show that the game will be more plentiful in Pennsyl vania this year than it has been for many years past." So states Dr. Joseph Kalbfus, secretary of the State game commission, after com piling the latest reports of his dep uties. Dr. Kalbfus also said that there are more quail now than there has been at any tune during the past five years and that the quail im ported by the commission from the southern states are thriving and in creasing rapidly. Rabbits are so plentiful as to be come a nuisance in many localities; there is an abundance of pheasants and more deer than have been known for years. One of the rea sons for the abundance of game is the protection given quail and pheasants, especially by the people of the rural districts, during the winter. Dr. Kalbfus also said that the revised edition of the game and fish laws of Pennsylvania would be ready for general distribution by Saturday.
