ests will be solved, but by learn
ing how 20 use the forests wise
ly and properly. The ravages
through forest fires must be
checked. the many avenues Of
waste Of timber i'm its travel
from the woods 90 the mill and
thence 20 the market must be
closed. and almost numberless
important problems demand al-
teniion before the Christmas
tree.
Germany is conceded 20 have
the highest developed system
of forest management of any
country. yet its per capita use
of Christmas tree is greatest.
The cutting Of small trees
for Christmas is not there con-
sidered in the least as a menace
20 the forest, but, on the con
trary, as means of improving
the forest by thinning and as a
source of revenue. To is there
fore constantly encouraged
There is little doubt but that
the time viii come when the
Christmas tree business will be-
come a recognized industry in
this country, and that as much
attention viii be given 20 it as
viii be given TO the growing of
crops OF timber for other uses.
This time may not be far off.
for IL is already understood that
only through the practice Of
forestry, which means both the
conservation of the timber
which ramains and planned
system of reforestation, will DO
be possible TO supply the coun-
try with its forty billion feet of
lumber each year, as well as
the few million little trees used
at Christmas time.
