Forestry is a popular subject
nowadays. The press advocates
forest preservation; conventions
of ministers, bankers, merchants,
manufacturers, even lumber manu-
facturers-adopt resolutions in its
favor; the administration is pleged
to it, and congress has sanctioned
the setting aside of sixty million
acres of the public domain into
forest reserves.
Yet twenty years ago the for
estry advocate was called a crank,
an impractical enthusiast, a dream
er. And 81 he was; and so the
greater wonder at the change in
sentiment and conditions. How
has this revolution come about2
The crank has his uses. His
true office is to stir people up and
set them to thinking. He may be
impracticable, even foolish in his
methods; but if his craze is along
the line of truth there is power If
it. Vide all the beginners ane
first apostles of all great revolu
tionary reforms. To them sue
coed the men of force and sense
and the reform goes forward.
The forestry crank saw the truth
that an invaluable resource wa:
too fast disappearing; but all hi
could say was, "Woodman, spare
that tree" and call names. HI
ignored conditions and property
rights, called names and hurlet
denunciations, broadcast and in
Discriminatory.
The forestry of today mean
using the forest while perpetual
ing it. 1t is a branch of practica
economics. And SO even tn
lumbermen, whose business it i
to convert trees into a marketable
and usable commodity, have be
come students and advocates o
forestry, most of them genuinel,
so, and the rest compelled b,
public opinion to assent, in wore
if not in good faith, to the moderl
gospel of forestry.-Commercia
