SKETCH OF P|NCHOT. CHIEF FORESTER

A recent edition of Human Life
gives us some interesting facts re-
garding Clifford Pinchot, the able
United States chief of forestry. Re-
Gently Orchard and Farm told many
interesting things about Pinchot and
his work. but the following will be
read with interest:
The career of clifford Pinchot. the
chief of the division OF forestry in
the department Of agriculture. is an
unusual, unique one. Mr.. Pinchot,
great fr end of Roosevelts and a
member OF his famous Tennis CabI-
net" is practically the founder and
creator Of a forestry department in
the government of a country that has
within the last rs years destroyed and
wasted the bulk of its forests. For
years he was almost the only man in
this country who possessed a really
scientific knowledge of the preserva-
tion and development of forests. To
Pinchot forestry Is a pleasure, as
poetry was a pleasure to Poe or as
music to Beethoven.
Clifford Pinchot was born rich an'
educated at Yale, but when he left
the university 1t was not with a
thought how he could spend his
money. He looked around to find no
one who had any real knowledge Of
trees. Trees and the forest had in
spired him from child He went TO
France to study the best kept forest
in Europe. He roamed through the
sylvan dells around Nancy. Eagerly
did he seize upon every bit of knowl-
edge given him by the great French
foresters.
He chanced while over there to
meet the very nestor Of his profess
s. on, Sir DIETRICH Brondis. the lnspec-
tor Of Indian forests and the writer
of Kipling, 'Tn the Rukh," who
works miracles. To him Pinchot de-
clared his ambition and explained
the lack Of facilities in his own coun-
try. At Sir Deitrichs invitation
Pinchot attached himself TO a party
OF English forest students touring
Germany and Switzerland. On this
expedition the young American learn

Pinchot returned to the United
States a pioneer in a new field Of Sc
ence among Americans. His first
work was in charge of the Wander
bilt estate in North Carolina. His
work was a revelation and the United
States government had its eye upon
him. In 1887 President Cleveland
appointed him to serve upon ma
tional committee whose purpose It
was TO investigate conditions and re-
port on a natural policy for the pre-
servation Of forests. He served as a
special agent Of the interior depart
ment to examine and report on all
the forest reservoirs He gave the
government great assistance in It's
public land policy and in 1898 he was
appointed to the office he now holds.
Provision for the collection Of ag-
ricultural statistics by the depart
ment of agriculture ives made by con-
gress in 1853. At that time and
few years later the United states was
entering upon period Of rapid de-
velopment OF agricultural and COM
mercial resources on a large scale.
and there was felt to be an essential
need by different branches OF busl-
ness for the collection and sseml-
nation of additional information. The
amount OF capital then invested IN
lands and farming implements was
q bout seven billions Of dollars; now
+; = nearly twenty eight billions.
Foreign countries depend to
large and increasing extent uuon the
United States for agricultural pro-
ducts. To meet the market demands
at home and abroad is the mission OF
America.
