USE OF THE NATIONAL
FORESTS EXPLAINED
Department of Agriculture Is
sues Manual on QuestiOn of
Forest Reserves.

''The Use OF the National Forests a
publication just printed by the Depart
ment of Agriculture. Is q brief manual
for public information as TO the forest
policy of the National Government.
1t is too true the short preface to the
public says, that many people do not
know what National forests are. Others
may have heard much about them, but
have no idea of their true purpose and
use" II is the object of this publlca-
ton 10 explain just what the National
forests mean. what they are for. and
how to use them.
IN the first place. it is explained how
the forests are created and how their
boundaries are drawn. Next. their direct
use anu value are shown from the point
OF View OF the homeseeker. the proSpec-
tor and miner. the user of timber the
user of the range, the user OF water and
other uSers OF forest resources, Third.
il is shown how the forests are intend 70
ed for use. the production of usable
products. and for the establishment and
maintenance of homes; how on all OF them
the timber is protected from fire. tho
water flow is kept steady, the forage on
the range is increased and guarded from
abuse; and how, In addition, they serve
as great public Fairgrounds and as breed
ing places and refugees Tor game Finally,
the management of the National forests
Is described.
Here II is that the usefulness OF the
forests is brought out most clearly and
by the people in their own interests, and
every means is used to meet the desires
and wants of all forest users half way
by dealing with them in the main di-
rectly on the ground and in all cases
with the utmost practicable dispatch and
freedom from red tape.
The special interest OF this manual lies
in its showing that the forest policy of
the Government, both in principle and
in practice. is for the benefit OF the ordi-
nary man: for the benefit Of every cit
izen equally. There is still a tendency
to think of the National forests as pre-
serves closed TO use. md to leave the
public lands exposed TO unregulated in
dividual exploitation. Where these mis-
apprehensions sril prevail The Use OF
the National Forests" will go far TO cor
rect them.
The book is written by Frederick +.
Olmstead. whose intimate knowledge OF
conditions in the West and the policy
under which the National forests are
managed especially fits him TO deal with
the subject.
