forts OF life. They may not have the
money to build just now, but the land
which cost them ten dollars an acre Ii
now worth twenty -five and the bank
ers are willing to loan twenty dollars
an acre upon 1t. Why should they
stint themselves longer in the way Of
e home when they can build and pay
/ the debt while enjoying the property?
The atmosphere of North Dakota does
not contain any germs of the disease
called delay. The money is borrowed
and soon a comfortable home is ready
for occupancy. Again the farm yields
up its wealth and in a comparatively
short time the family, which elsewhere
would never have known the owner
| ship of the home roof. are surrounded
with every comfort Of life.
But having once tasted the bitter
I ness of being in debt, the average
North Dakota farmer seems .unable to
live without 1t. Just across the road
is a half section OF land owned BY
someone who lives in one of the states
where men are not in debt and who
Hooks upon the property as a financial
burden. The farmer borrows the
money from the banker and purchases
the land. He places thunder cultiYa-
ton and in a few years the profits
from the land itself has paid the debt.
There have been instances in North
Dakota where the returns from one
crop have paid the purchase price Of
the land and five years have done it
repeatedly. 3t
The picture that has been presented
is not fiction but facts which have oc-
Cured in a thousand instances in this
state and are occurring every year
in the semi-arid regions against which
the Gazette has had need to warn its
readers. 5
It is the part Of charity to attribute
the erroneous views Of the journal to
the lack Of information. for it is UNI
| fortunately true that men who have
known only the conditions in the old
er states are wholly unable to compre-
bend the opportunities offered in the
northwest, and often regard the stories
Of easily acquired wealth from the soil
/ as the veriest fabrications. 53

correct, However, the cost Of steel
for such purposes and the increasing
cost Of timber as it becomes scarcer
will make the former the structural
building material Of the future.
These conditions will relieve the
heavy drains upon the forest reserves
and give the timber regions an OPP
lportunity to recover themselves. IN
doing this they will at the same time
restore the equilibrium between eva
roration and precipitation. and the
great climatic danger will be avoided.
Sentiment is a great thing, but
sentiment outside of patriotism has
never accomplished many great re-
forms. This is true of the cultivation
of the forests. There may be poetic
romance surrounding the planting Of
a tree, and 1T does no harm to instill
as much as possible Of 1t into the
children of the country But the COM
mercial spirit which seeks to provide
an investment for the future will be
able to do more in the way Of restor-
ing the forests than all the preach
ments of the ages. The reason is both
q sordid and a selfish one, but what
boots It it the results be good?

SAVING THE FORESTS.

The matter of preserving the forests
Iof this country and the. development
Iof additional timber areas is fast be-
coming a matter Of national impor-
lance if it is not already one.
The need Of timber for domestic
purposes is even now so pressing that
the concerns engaged in the manufac-
turing Of lumber are adopting means
Eef restoring the forests which they
have denuded, This is strictly a bust
ness proposition and they take the
position that it is merely an invest
ment which will pay a good dividend.
Aside from the Importance Of pre-
serving a large forest area for the
furnishing of lumber for domestic pur-
poses. it is; well ablished as scien-
tific fact that the forest areas are. inn
portant agencies in the matter of rain
fall.
1t has been feared that the enor-
z n i5 E5285
nous destruction Of; these forests
which has been going on for years
would in time permit Of such rapid
lprecipi tation that the river valleys
would be destroyed BY inundation dur
| ing the flood season. while the sec
| tions dependent upon rainfall for
| their moisture would be subject to
long and severe drouths during much
