Danger of a Timber Famine.

liz A44i4biI 1CNttAAC III NAAN - IL ' ~
sity Course was given last evening
by Prof. Joseph t. Rothrock upon
the "Relation of American Forests
to American Prosperity" says the
Philadelphia Times Of the 18th inst.
The venerable Eli X. Price in intro
ducing the lecturer spoke feelingly
of the legacy of $1,000 left to the
American Philosophical Society f'for
the extension and progress of agri-
culture and sylviculture" and praised
highly the instructive lectures de-
livered by Prof. Rothrock in Horti-
cultural hall in the park, made posi-
bic by the funds Of the legacy.
'From the most reliable data,
those of the government, in my pos
session." said the professor, "the
area of the United States is 1906
100000 acres. OF this, 38O,000,000
acres are in woodlands belonging to
private parties. Only 1912 per
cent. of the total area is in forest
growth and Of this a large proper
tion is covered with second growth
of timber of no value. Europe as a
whole has 20 per cent. of her area in
forests. In Russia the forests cover
80 per cent. in Sweden and Nor
way, 40; in Austria and Hungary,
%; in Germany likewise, %; in Italy
II; in France, 10; in Spain, IL, and
in Great Britain and Ireland, only
3 per cent. France, with her Is per
cent, is self-supporting, and Italy,
with Il per cent, is just about self
supporting. As for our own land,
we have a colder climate and we
have been more extravaganza. We
are in danger of a timber famine
when this proportion Of the forests
lands falls below IS per cent Only
one-half per cent. now divides US
from that famine"
Considering the remedies for this
threatened state of affairs, the lee
turer advocated the removal Of the
duty on Canadian white pine, that
our limited supply may be preserved.
the withdrawal Of the timber lands
of the government from the market
and the establishment Of experiment
tai stations where forestry may be
studied. Germany has nine
schools of this kind, Russia four,
France two, even Finland one and
other countries one or more, but in
our country but one man is paid for
devoting himself to this subject
that is Prof. Sargent, of Massachu-
settts, which state alone seems to
appreciate the Importance Of the
question. Maine has also taken
some measures for preserving what
white pine she has left"
The great influence of forest lands
upon climate, rainfall and atmos-
pheric publication were pointed out
and the evils in these respects that
are already apparent in the United
States described. As cures the lee
turer recommended that timber cul-
ture should go side by side with
timber destruction; that iron should
be used more in place Of wood; that
trees shouldn't be utmerely for their
bark or a part Of the trunk, and that
such a waste Of timber as for fences
should be strictly prohibited. In
conclusion, an interesting account
was given of the manner in which
forestry is studied in the German
schools and an earnest plea made for
action by our government.
