Statistics gathered by the Bureau of
the Census and the Forest Service
show that the quantities Of timber used
last year for lumber, shingles, ties
pulp-wood. cooperage stock. mine tim
bers, lath, distillation. veneer, poles
tanning and turpentine and rosin ex-
pressed in board feet, reach a total
Of approximately fifty billion board
feet.
While these drains upon the forest
are known with reasonable certainty,
there are others Of which there Is no
record. These are the demand for
posts, fuel and domestic purposes, re-
garding which 1t Is more difficult to
obtain information because the
products often pass through no market.
but are consumed on the farm where
they were produced. Careful estimates
however, place the total. of wood used
for fuel alone at an equivalent Of fifty
billion board feet year.
1t WIN be seen, then the present con-
sumption OF wood in all forms is above
100 billion board feet annually. Els
ttmating the forest area of the United
States at from 500 to 700 million acres
ana the annual growth of sixty board
feet per acre, the yearly increase IL
from thirty to forty-two billion feet
At this rate the annual growth barely
equals the amount consumed for luIn-
Der alone. Considering all the drains
the annual consumption Of wood IL
probably three times the annual
growth. Detailed estimates of stand
ing timber range from 400 to 2,000
billion feet. Using the larger figure
and considering the annual growth OF
forty billion feet. It appears that there
is not more than thirty-three years
supply Of timber in this country at the
present rate OF consumption.
A. present only about twenty-five
per cent OF our total forest area is In
State or National forests. the remain
der being unreserved public lands or in
private hands. The forest area is
amply sufficient. If rightly managed.
to produce eventually enough timber
TO supply all our needs. Yet private
owners. as well as the state and
National Governments. must use their
forest lands In a right way If We are
to maintain our timber supply.
Circular 1ss, just issued by the
Forest Service, contains a discussion OF
the drains upon the forests and the
sources and the duration of theNtimber
SUPPLY. This publication will be. sent
free upon application to the Forester.

The Cruel "Range."

There would appear to be no season
of the year in which calamity In some
form does not lie In wait for cattle
left to shift for themselves ON the
great plains. In winter they slowly
perish from longcontinued cold and
lack Of food. In the spring storms
destroy the young and the less endur-
ing Of the older stock. Later they
perish from summer and autumnal
droughts. The indications are that
the range steer Is going out of exist
ence in a similarly perverse way.
With him goes the cowboy, the most
picturesque figure Of an immature
Western civilization He gave us
some fine types. Did not Roosevelt
himself develop from cowboy?
But even Roosevelt today condemns
the range system, with it's wasteful
use of land and its necessary mono
poles, as well as its cruelties. So 1t
will not be long ere the spectacle Of
cattle perishing In thousands as the
result Of a heartless system will have
become thing of the past. The
Western stockman" will have be-
come a farmer.-St. Paul Pioneer
Press.
