BILL IN CONGRESS

The Importance of forest pres
ervation is a lesson that must be
learned sooner or later, and the
trouble is that it will be learned
so late as to make it costly beyond
computation. For some time a
bill has been pending before Con-
gress providing for the establish
ment of a National forest reserve
within the states of North Carolina.
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama
and Tennessee, to be known as
the Appalachian Forest Reserve.
President Roosevelt is being urged
to send in special message ask
lug that the bill be passed this
session. With the great watershed
completely denuded of forestry,
as it will be in time, unless the
destruction is checked, there will
be a serious change of climatic con
d1tions, and millions of acres now
fertile or proftably productive
Will become useless. Streams like
the ChattahOOchee and Savannah
rivers, with all the lesser streams.
will become almost dry part of the
year and raging torrents at Other
periods, and ruinous drouths will

prevail. This is no mere specula-
tion or unfounded apprehension.

taught in many parts of the world
Southern congressman should ex-
ert themselves to secure the pas
sage of the pending bill, and thus
render service of far more value

formed.
