building. and most of these homes are
made Of lumber.
The rapidity with which the American
forests are being feIled is almost incred-
ible. few years ago the New England
and Great Lakes States furnished most
of the lumber; they reached their maxi
mum and have been falling of. Then
the Southern States came In and the
forests have disappeared as If by magic
The Southern States are now at their
maximum, and the Pacific Coast IS COM
ing to the lead, the State OF Washington
furnishing more lumber than any other
single State. The yellow pine of the
South is being cut at the rate OF l2,0O0,-
100000 feet a year. and the supply will
be totally exhausted IN about ten years
at that rate
The forest reserves idea is mistaken
by many people. They are not reserved
10 prevent the cutting Of timber, but to
encourage It. and TO force Il 70 be done
carefully. The Federal forest reserves Of
IL, ,O00000 acres are set aside from the
public lands which were heretofore open
to settlement. Millions Of acres of tim
Der land have been settled and pre-emp-
tied by straw-men, who gave the title 10
great companies which have enriched
themselves at the expense Of the public.
These frauds are now being stamped out.
The lands put I'm a forest reserve are
Withdrawn from entry and put under the
care of a forest ranger. The timber on
them is sold by the government to any
one who desires TO purchase, but must
be cut under government direction. This
saves the small trees, requires the clear
ing out Of the underbrush and guaran-
tees the perpetuation OF the forest
Timber Is granted for free use to set
tiers In the neighborhOod Of forest re-

but this, too must be cut under the
supervision Of the ranger The forest
reserves cost less than cents an acre
to care for now. and soon will become
more than self-suppOrting. France eX-
pends a dollar year per acre on her
forests. The proposed Appalachian and
White Mountain Forest Reserve was
smOthered I'm the last Congress by the
opposition Of Speaker Cannon. but II
probably will be established within the
next few years
The lumber problem is not the only
question involved in the business Of re-
fOrestration. The destruction Of the for
ests has caused the rainfall TO run into
the creeks sooner, and this has caused
the rivers to be subject TO sudden and
destructive floods. The soil washed away
IN these floods impOverishes the farms
and fills up the rivers doing double dam
age. The Mississippi River carries out a
greater amount Of dirt in Its summer
foods each year than will be dug from
the Panama Canal and the problem is
becoming more difficult every year. Saw
ing the trees will save the farms and the
rivers
