FOREST PEOEECTiUi1.
New Jersey Legislature Has just
Passed n law Which All Other
States ShOuld Copy.

Through Senator Minch, our coun-
ell has succeeded in getting law
passed by the New Jersey legisla-
ture, on forest fires. A law that we
urge all good citizens to understand
and sustain.
Friends of forests in other states
may do well to seek similar legisla-
ton in their respective common
wealths. Animal and plant life and
health are SO dependent on forest
conditions, as influencing climate
that forestry is an interstate ques-
ton. 1t is also such question in
respect to streams for water power,
and for navigation. For prevention
of floods and the regulation of rain
fall. The rainfall section of it alone
is one of many millions a year to
any one of the United States. If
rain comes at the right time farm
er may clear say $500 a year more
than if not so coming. Every 10000
such farmers in that state have 3d.
100000 annually at stake. Similar
figures apply to climate respecting
sickness. A citizen of town, as
well as IL farmer, may lose $500 by
sickness that would be prevented by
wise forest regulation. Forest foli-
age is the chief protection from ma
larial enemies in the air; and the
great dispenser of healthful oxygen.
Forests are the main and practical
Iy the only regulation of rainfall.
Fire is the greatest of the many
enemies to the forest. The person,
or the corporation, starting such
fire should suffer severe penalties.
70 this end our forest council has
secured the passage of the law re-
fcrred to. We believe it to be one
purpose. 1t will repay citizens to
understand this law and sustain it,
The great work for good citizens,
under it, is to secure investigation of
forest fires, and see that each town
ship committee selects Il fire marshal.
Local civil engineers are often the
best men for marshals.
Citizens of other states not hav-
ing good laws protecting from for
est fires should demand similar ac.
ton to that of New Jersey from
their respective legislatures, and then
sustain the same. Forest fires are
usually of far more damage than
they are assessed for.-George May
Powell, President New Jersey Forest
Council
