have TO curtai their wood exnoits,
England is at last feeling her depend
ence and is specializing uneasily as
to where she can certainly secure
what wood she needs in the future.
Fourth, when the forest countries
are compared as to wood imports and
exports, and when it is realized that
number OF the countries which
practise forestry are even now on the
wood importing list, the need of fer
estry in the export countries is doubly
enforced.
Russia, Sweden, Austria. Hungary,
and Canada, for instance. Ire making
good the wood deficit Of large part
Of the world. Sweden cuts much more
wood (lO6,ooo,ooo cubic feet than
she produces; Russia, in spite of her
enormous forest resources, has prob.
ably entered the same road; and Eng
land, the leading importer Of wood,
must count more and moreon Canada
But the United States consumes
everyiyear from three to four times
the wood whichlts forests produce,
md in due time will doubtless take
all the wood Canada can spare. In
other..words. unless the countries Of
the western hemisphere apply forestry
{ promptly and thoroughly, they will
one day assuredly be held RESPONSE
bic for a world wide timber famine.
Fifth in comp arson with foreign
countries the prospects for forestry
in the United States are particularly
brighton the following reasons;
; (D We start with the assurance
e that success can be attained.
i ~ We have few Of the handicaps
e which have trammeled other coun
. tries. We have no ancient forest
rights and usages with which to con-
tend. or troublesome property ques-
| tions.to settle.

have achieved by long struggle, Otter
It with bitter costs, are free to US to use

re our forests are without a parallel i

In Switzerland, where every foot Of
agricultural land is of the greatest
value, forestry has made it possible
for the people to farm all land fit fot
crops, and so has assisted the coun
country to support large population
and one that is more prosperous, than
would be the case if the valleys were
subjected to destructive foods. In a
country as small as Switzerland also,
in the Sihlwald, that forestry demon.
StrateS beyond contradiction how
great yield in wood and money il
may bring about if applied consistent
ly for number Of years.
A circular entitled "What Forestry
has done," just published by the For
est Service, and obtainable upon ap.
plication to the Forester, Washington
D. C., reviews the forest work Of the
leading foreign countries. The chic
lessons which may be learned from
them are summarized as follows;
! What forestry has done in othe
countries shows, first Of all, that fol-
estry pays, and that it pays best wher
the most money is expended in appl
ing it. The United States is enol
mously behiudhand in its expenditur
, for the management Of the Nation;
Forests, but nevertheless returns hay
/ already increased with increased ex
penditure for management.
A second lesson, clearly brough
: home by foreign forestry, is the nee,
Of timely action, since forest vast
can be repaired only at great cost.
Third, private initiative does n,
suffice by itself to prevent wastefr

far consistently followed a let.alou
policy. However, England has bee

great forest resources, is not in
position of a pioneer in the field. 1t
has the experience Of all other coun-
tries to 90 upon. There is no need
for years of experiment with untried
theories. The forest principals which
hundreds Of years of actual practice
have proved right are at Its command.
The only question is, how should
these be modified or extended to best
meet American conditions? In the
management OF the National orests
the Government is not working in the
dark. Nor is it slavishly copying Eur
opean countries. 1t is putting into
practise in America, and for Amer.
cans, principals tried and found cor
rect, which will insure to all the peo.
pie alike the fullest and best use Of
all forest resources.
Take the case Of Germany. Start
ing with forests which were in as bad
shape as many Of our own which have
been recklessly cut over it raised the
average yield Of wood per acre from
20 cubic feet in 1880 to IS cubic to
1908. During the same period Of time
it trebled the proportion Of saw tim.
Der got from the average cut, which
means, in other words, that through
the practise of forestry the timber.
lands Of Germany are of three times
better quality today than when nc
system was used. And in fifty foul
, years it increased the money returns
, from an average acre Of forest seven
fold.
In France forestry has decreased

What Forestry Has Done,

Many people in this country think
that forestry had never been tried un-
til the Government began to practice
it upon the National Forests. Yet for
estry is practised by every civilized
country in the world except China
and Turkey. 1t gets results which
can be got in no other way, and which
are necessary to the general welfare.
What forestry has done abroad is
the strongest proof of what it can ac-
complish here. The remarkable sue
cess of forest management in the civ.
lied countries of Europe and Asia
is the most forcible argument which
can be brought in support of wise for
est use in the United States.
The more advanced and progress
i've countries arrive first and gofarth
est in forestry, as they do in other
things. Indeed, we might take flores
try as a yardstick with which to mea
sure the height of civilization. On the
one hand, the nations which follow
forestry most widely and systematic
ally would be found to be the mos
enlightened nations. On the othel
hand, when we applied our yardsticl
to such countries as are without for
estry, we could say with good dea
of assurance, by this test alone,
"Here is backward nation"
The countries Of Europe and Asia
taken together, have passed througl
all the stages Of forest history ant
applied all the known principles o.
forestry. They are rich in forest ex
perience. The lessons of forestry wer
brought home to them by hard knocks
Their forest systems were built u
gradually as the result Of hardship
They did not first spin fine theorie
and then apply those theories by mai
force. On the contrary, they bega
by facing disagreeable facts. Ever
. step Of the way toward wise fore'
use, the world over, has been mac
at the sharp spur of want, suferin
or loss. As a result, the science
forestry is one Of the most practice
and most directly useful of all Il
sciences. 1t is a serious work, unde
taken as a measure of relief, and CT
tinued as safeguard against futu
calamity.

ing the problem Of how best to use

New Law Gives States rs Per
Cent of Gross Receipts
for Road Work

The state of California will be award
ed $52,4S7,78 as its share of the per-
centage of the gross receipts from ma
tional forests for. the fiscal year which
ended June 80. Prior to this year the
states received 10 per cent of the gross
receipts, but congress raised the
amount to % per cent last winter.
The money the state will receive
from this source will have to be ex-
pended on public roads and schools by
the counties which contain national
forest land. The purpose of the law
was to compensate the counties for the
reduction of the taxable area brought
about by the existence of the forests.
The total amount to be expended
among the various states will be $447,-
o63.79 and will be apportioned as fol-
lows: Alaska, $2,6S4.7S; Arizona, $42,-
