A Work for Uncle Sam

~ " Sttttt Jam
Every section of our coun-
try is beginning Ia feel the
evil effects Of the ruthless de-
struction of the forests. The
floods which every spring
sweep out bridges. dams and
houses, and often spread des-
olatin over fertile fields and
destroy thousands homes, tell
the same story Of the wanton
waste Of the timbered water
shed above. Still the hand
of the destroyer is not stayed
the denudation Of forests
continues year after. year,
and only the decisive action
of the national lawmakers can
stop the destruction of the
trees and provide means for
the rcforestation of denuded
areas. John Muir, the great
Yosemite naturalist, puts our
~thos@hts of the forest trees
in the terse words:
"Any fool can destroy trees.
They cannot run away; and
IL they could, they would still
be Observation-Disclosures and
hunted down as long as fan
or n dollar could be got out Of
their bark hides, branching
horns, or magnificent hole
backbones. Few that fell
trees plant them; nor would
planting avail much towards
getting back anything like
the noble primeval forests.
During "A mans life only sap
lings can be grown, in the
place OF the old trees-teps OF
of centuries old trees-that
have been destroyed. 1t took
more than three thousand
years to make some of the
trees in these Western woods
