The greatest expert on forestry in the
United States is w. Willard Ashe. who
is stopping at the Kenyon. Mr.. Ashe
has given a great deal of attention to
this subject and has been commissioned
by the United States to prepare the
forest exhibits at the Paris exposition.
Il have been west On business con-
nected with my department" said Mr..
Ashe. I'VE will have a great exhibit
at Paris. l shall have several sections
of our great trees on exhibition there.
The subject of forestry is one that is
very extensive and opens up a great
field. l am not an alarmist and do
not believe in fire alarm methods. Our
forests have suffered by fires and other
wise.
If we permit them to grow, we will
obtain results satisfactory. We cannot
restore our forests by replanting. My
observation has been that the forests
have not been so badly destroyed as
to render their future growth impossi-
BILE. | am not much of believer in re-
forestration. L have inspected the for
ests of your western mountains, and 1
believe nature will assert itself. Take
your older forests, and even If it is cut
out, the new growth will renew it.
Il see a great deal of talk about
sheep, but 1 will put my opinion that
sheep do not hurt a forest and do not
injure the water supply. OF course.
when sheep are turned onto land they
will naturally injure the young growth
of the forests. but they cannot hurt
the older timber
