The forest service is not charged with the

service has granted 10 permits to small own

made 20 small sales to feed the little sawmills
upon which the frontier communities depend.

tween the use Of the national forests or any
of their resources, for the permanent benefit
OF many, or for the temporary benefit of q
few, the forest service encourages use by the
many and prevents its monopoly by the few.
There are two planks in the platform of
the forest service. They are these:
To insure through public ownership and
administration the fullest permanent use of
those forests which are essential to the public
welfare.
To teach American citizens how to make
the best use of forests in private hands and
OF their product, by finding out aud telling
them how.
The 194,5oo,ooo acres of national forests
stand for the first plank. They conserve most
of the water and one.thrd of the timber of
the west. This national heritage, whose
measurable material resources are worth more
than two billions of dollars, is being admins
tered by the forest service in the best perma.
nent interest of all the people. At an average
cost for protection of about one.fifth of a cent
per acre, the damage by fire on national for
ests for the last three years has been, per mil
lion acres, about three per cent Of that on
private forest lands. In these three years the
use of the national forests by the people has
more than doubled. In 1908, so great were the
demands Of the peoples business, that an
average Of only about one-ifth of the time Of
the forest rangers could be given to fire pa.
troll This was the equivalent OF all the time
Of one man for the patrol Of $500 acres, an
area half the size Of the state of Delaware.
From Arizona to the Canadian border and
from California to Minnesota and Arkansas,
the forest rangers have done their duty. This
has meant unrelenting effort usually under
frontier conditions. There is no more exact
ing work than fire patrol; and. short Of war.
nothing makes greater claims than fire fight
ing upon personal courage, fiber and devotion.
The forest rangers are the backbone of the
service Were it not for them, the national
forests would soon be forests no longer. And
as each of these public servants comes to lay
down his tools for younger hands to pick up.

SCARED forests of his district. valuable heri-
tage to the community and the honorable record
of trust fulfilled.
The protection of the national forests from
fire is incidental only to the development of
their fullest permanent use. This is limited
only far as is needed to insure the perma.
nence of the forest and to keep it in satisfac-
tory condition. Last year 1,500,0 900 cattle and
horses and 100000 sheep and goats grazed
within national forests, or IL and 81 per cent,
respectively of the range stock of the west.
Nearly 400000000 feet of mature timber was
sold and cut or enough to build 25, 900 ordinary
frame houses. More than 130.000000 feet more
was given away to settlers for firewood and
other home All this timber was cut and
logged conservatively,- to the improvement of
the condition Of the forest. Under such man.
agement a forest produces wood forever.
For man can handle his forest in three
different ways, just as he can handle money
In three different ways, and the same is true
OF a nation He can destroy his forest by
wasteful logging and the fire which follows It,
just as he can squander money until it Is all
gone. He can protect his forest adequately
from fire or other injury, but fail to harvest
safe and let it lie there protected from loss,
but unproductive and useless. Or he can
handle his forest rightly and profit BY the
interest without impairing the capital like the
man who invests money safely and well.
There is nothing intricate about the prin.
ciples or the practice of forestry. It has its
own careful, skilled methods based on study
comparatively recent in this country, but
which in other countries began hundreds Of
years ago. To describe these methods would
fill many pages and it takes trained men to
apply them. But in the last analysis forestry
is common sense. scientifically applied Cut
the mature trees, but do not cut them until
they have shed seed enough to start young
trees to make another forest. Remember al
ways that the sapling will make a valuable
tree some day II it Is not injured, just as q
boy will make wage Garner If he has his
chance. Keep fre out of the forest, because
