  • Tallahassee, Fla., Tallahassian: The wildest and most naturally beautiful part of this country east of the Rocky Mountains is that region where North Carolina, Tennessee. Virginia, South Carolina and Georgia approach each other. Indianapolis, Ind., News: The preservation of forests is a subject t which too little attention has been paid in the past and to which should be given much thought. Already the country is experiencing the bad effects of indifference. Toledo, O., Journal: This part of the Blue Ridge is recognized as the most salubrious, combining a dry and equal climate, attracting thousands of people from the North during the winter months, and drawing large numbers from the South during the warm season. It enjoys the best properties of a winter park and a summer resort. The climate is healthy, equable, balmy, yet exhilarating. Savannah, Ga., Press: The region is an ideal spot for a preserve, where every sort of North American animal or fish would thrive and where almost every tree or plant found within our borders, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, would grow un- cared for. Baltimore, Md. Sun: Among the many measures that have come before Congress none merit more thoughtful consideration or commends itself more impressively to the consideration and approval of the two Houses than Senator Pritchard's resolution which carries an appropriation not to exceed $5,000 in the discretion of the Secretary of Agriculture to defray the expense of an investigation into the forest conditions of the Southern Appalachian Mountain region 16
