An examination of the hardwood

by the collection of a fund for the

1t was on October 25, 1854, Just

wood production, is practically ex-l
hausted; that the cutting of hard
wood is now widely extended over
every state and locality where there |
are even small tracts. or we might |
say, "clumps" of hardwoods. We are |
bringing hardwoods from far and |
near and the supply is Continually |
decreasing at ratio of more than |
four to one, of consumption and pro-
duction.
Mr.. Hall says the Appalachian |
States, /. e., Virginia, Kentucky. Ten
nessee, a part of South Carolina and
small portion of Georgia, contain
fully one-half of the country's hard
wood supply. Hardwood growth
mean good soil, and good soil means
"deadening" and subsequent clearing
by fire for farms. The Appalachian
region hardwood escaped dastractl;:.
by the old established end orthodox
practice by reason of its inaccssi-
bility. The soil on the mountain
slopes washed away to the primitive
rocks in too few years to justify
the clearing of the fine forests even
by the easy method of deajening
and fire. The farms that survive
the erosion of section of heavy rain
fall are in the valleys and along the
easy lower slopes of the mountains.
And of all the farms in the country
there are none more BEAUTIFULLY pict-
uresque, poetical or fertile than
those nestled among the valleys and
coves of the Appalachian region.
But even in the Appalachian States
the production of hardwood lumber
shows signs of decrease. Three of
the hardwood regions. the Ohio
Valley and the Lake States, and the
lower Mississippi. have largely been
converted into agricultural lands
Only the hardwoods of the inacces-
sible Appalachian regions are left
practically intact.
What is the conclusion to be
drawn? Mr.. Hall says we have a.
bout fifteen years supply of hard
wood lumber now ready for cutting.
The inevitable conclusion is that there
are lean years ahead of us. There
is sure to be a gap. he says, between
what we now have and what may
result from action purposely to meet
the heed. The present indications,
that in spite of the best We can do,
there will be shortage of hard
woods running through at least IF
teen years.
The substitution of other materials
for hardwood goes on apace, but so
does the increasing need for wood.
There seems to be but one practical
solution, and that is to maintain per-
manently, under a proper system of
forestry. a sufficient area of hardwood
land to produce by growth the hard
wood timber which the nation re-
quires. Mr.. Hall further says that
the land for this purpose can be
found only in the Appalachian re-
gions.
The foregoing remarks are based
upon very brief synopsis OF what
Mr.. Hall has given out. His report,
which will be laid before the next
session of Congress. will doubtless
be an elaborate one, but what eff
feet it will have is doubtful. Con-
gress, ought to have taken favora-
BILE action on the Appalachian forest
reserve Immediately after the States
granted jurisdiction. But we have
become finicky sort of people and
even the Presidecy may depend upon
