HIS VIEWS
Suggests q Law That is a
Necessity
Franktown, New, Feb. q.

fTdnkICWn, New, rep. IL
Editor Appeal:I have read from
time to time articles in your paper re
lative to the preserving Of the second
growth forests in this State, and
wish to express my experience and
views on this important matter.
For a number Of years timber land
owners in this vally have been cutting
second grow b timber and selling it..
In nearly every instance they have
cut without a view to the future, or
in any manner attempted to preserve
the forest of second growth. In nearly
every case they have cut the young
timber out, never leaving a tree stand
! ing, and in many instances. have seen
ricks CT wood with trees in them that
were no thicker through than ones
arm.
| This mode of cutting is absolutely
wrong, as it completely destroys the
| second growth. and as the trees are
not old enough to bea. cones, there
! IS no seed to restock the growth Or
ground. Hundreds of acres of forest
/ land in this valley has heen rendered
useless for future timber growth and
, has also taken away the water shed
where the young trees grew
! This is only one feature Of the de
structive work. When the timber is
cut, as in the above cases. it ruins
the water shed. In my case can state
that the water supply has diminished
! nearly fifty per cent since the young
trees have been cut and sold | know
this from absolute observation. Before
the wanton destruction Of this second
| growth timber, the stream which sup
plies my ranch gave twice the water
:, that comes in the late summer the past
few years The reason is plain. The
heavy growth OF young timber protec
ted the snow from the sun and gave
us a reserve water supply. Should tbs
indiscriminate cutting be allowed t
continue. it will result in a great loss
to the farmers in this. section Of Was
hoe valley.
| believe there is Only one way Il
handle the subject, and that is by law
While it may be impossible for tn
State to say that q man cannot Gu
his own timber, yet the State, be
lieye. can regulate tho size Of the tim
Der that is to be marketed. Place tn
trees cut at u inches and il is SAT
TO say that there would be very fey
: men in the woods cutting, as not one
third OF the young young growth aN
, erages this size The wood chopper
cut everything in sight, as they ar
being paid by toe cord and ever
stick counts. If they are allowed t
continue their ruinous work, this SCI
ton of Nevada will be denuded of il
timber in a very few years. as it take
less time to cut down a tree a fe7
= inches thick than it did 10 cut the VII
gin timber that was as many fee
) through.
While the law makers in your cit
are passing irrigation measures tha
cost the State thousands Of dollars
they had better go to the fountain hea
. and stay the hand of the man VIII
would ruin the careful calculations {
the Federal and State governments.
