AK is FORESTER'S HOE
AS WELL AS HIS SCYTHE
NECESSARY TO CUT FORESTS
OVER
More Than 100000, 900 Board Feet oi
Lumber Cut from National Re-
serves During Last Fiscal
Year

To bring the forests to their full pro-
ductiveness they must be cut over.
The AK is the forester's hoe as well as
his scythe. Reaping and sowing are
usually for him one and the same oper-
alton, and cultivation is accomplished
by getting rid of what he does not want.
There were cut from the national
forests during the last fiscal year the
equivalent of little over 2S000O,0O0
board feet of timber. This involved
cutting operations on slightly less than
$50, 900 acres of land, or about one four
hundredths of the total area of the gov
ernment's forests. In other words,
hardly a beginning has been made in
bringing the forests to their highest
productiveness through use. and their
reserve of mature timber has scarcely
been touched by the operations under
way.
Timber cutting on the national forests
has hitherto been done almost entirely
by what foresters call the selection
method" This takes out only part
of the trees and leaves the rest to grow
more rapidly as a result of the opening
up of the forest, while permitting also
the seeding up of the ground with new
growth. Each tree to be cut Is selected
by a forest officer and stamped at the
base of the stump, and again at the
breast height. If the cutters fell any
trees which were not marked for them
the absence of the "U. S." stamp on the
stump betrays the fact to the govern
ment inspector, and the persons re-
sponsible are brought to book. By this
method of cutting the actual practice
of forestry is being gradually intro
duced. This means not merely that the
timber is protected nor merely that 1t Is
made use of as it natures but also that
1t Is cultivated like crop In order to
get as much as possible out of the land.
Total insignificant
The total cut from the national forests
during the last fiscal year (28O,00O, 900
board feet) was insignificant in COM
parison alike with the total timber cut
of the country, the total stand of gov
ernment timber, and the yearly pro-
ductive capacity of all the forests when
they have been brought under manage
ment. Balancing one thing against an
other, the government has undoubtedly
not lessened it's stock of timber in con-
sequence Of the cuttings made during
the year, but on the contrary has much
more now than 1t had a year ago. A
great part Of the increase, however, has
been on timber which has not yet
reached merchantable size. This sug-
gests one of two important reasons
why 1t may not be safe to cut right
along as much wood as grows, taking
the forests as a whole. The first rea-
son is that 1t will do the country no
good some years hence to know that
the forests are making a certain
amount of wood per year, If 1t is all in
sizes not big enough to cut to advan.
tage. The second is that it is necessary
to forecast the needs locally. The in
Ihabitants OF Arizona will find 1t small

SOFIA, May 1.-THE spring cam
paign In Macedonia has begun and
much killing is now in order. In the
vilayet of Uskub several Servian bands
have made their appearance, and op-
erations are in active progress under
the Voivodes Peshkovitch, Traiko,
Vassil and others. Many villages have
received threatening letters from these
eminent persons informing them of the
fate which awaits them should they
delay to declare themselves Servian,
and others have been forced to send
deputations to the Turkish authorities
at Uskub requesting that their Bulga-
rian schools, which were closed in
1903, be reopened and handed over to
the Servians
The authorities, though disposed to
favor the Servian propaganda as a
useful counterpoise to the more dan
gerous Bulgarian movement, have not
yet acceded to this request, but no
steps have been taken for the protec-
tion of the villages.
Indeed, from 1860 onward the process
of degeneration which began under
the humane and liberal war minister,
General Milyutin, went on progress
Sively.
