The Minnesota Ere wardcn's report
closes with a statement OF the utility Of
the forests and argument for their pre-
servation. The Minnesota forests are
a great natural reservoir OF moisture
feeding hundreds Of streams. which
fertilize tho soil and turn the machin-
cry Of manufacturers They afford an
important industry and home market
for agricultural supplies The pine for.
osts should also be valuable as health
resorts, for Il has been eoneluslvoly
shown by scientific observations that
forest air Is much richer In ozone than
the air OF open countries. The cole-
brated Swedish iron Is produced by
charcoal instead OF mineral coal. and Il
would seem that the conversion OF Min
ncsota ore into iron by charcoal should
be encouraged by the state. rather than
have Il all shipped away In crude con-
dillon. This. while creating a new in
dustry. would furnish a new incentive
for perpetuatlng the forests. No abate-
mont OF the seemingly ruthless con-
sumption Of pine can at pres
cnt be expected. for great
companies have their capital
all embarked In the business and have
built railroads specially for numbering.
They cannot now stop without financial
failure. and II We are to have perma-
nent forests Il must be the state or the
United States that viii conserve them.
