The Michigan Farmer presents the following excellent bit of common sense in regard to the common newspaper cry of, " Spare the Forests:" "Of what use is a forest if you do not utilize it? It produces nothing, and prevents anything else from being produced. Cut it down and turn it into cash, and in its place grow crops that will feed the people and enrich the grower. If timber is wanted, grow it as you would any other crop, and when it is ready to cut put it in market with as little compunction as you would a crop of wheat. Let us look at this question in a practical way, and do away with such sickly sentimentality?"
