CONDEMNS PRODIGALITY
Mr.. Clifford Pinchot Discusses De
struction of American Forests


The prodigal use of the natural re-
sources of the country as illustrated in
the disappearance of the forests was
pointed out by Mr.. Clifford Pinchot in
the course of talk which he gave last
evening at meeting of the Mems So
ciety Of the Church of the Covenant
What the primeval forest was in this
country i'm it's extent and variety and
why 1T was looked upon by the early
settlers as an obstruction to he rid of
was graphically described with a full
ness of detail which showed a thorough
knowledge of the subject expected from
one who is at the head Of the forestry
bureau of the government and has
given so much time and thought to this
phase of national development.
Mr.. Pincbot also showed with what
era OF railroad building set in. the re-
markable efficiency of the American
people was employed with deadly effect
in the destruction of the forests AS a
means of preserving the water supply
and of maintaining the fertility of the
soil the uses of the forest were declared
to be Of such Importance as to place the
trees as fundamental sources of ma
tional material well being.
1t was estimated by the speaker that
at the present rate of consumption the
supply of growing wood will last less
than thirty years. and for that reason
he thought the effort being made by
the government to conserve what was
left should be looked upon as Of vital
consequence. In doing this work in part
the government aimed to inform the
owners of timber lands how their wood
lands could be made profitable without
injuring the prospects of future crops.
