amounted to 80, 367,O1 long tons. As
compared with a production for the

The protection OF the national forests from
fire Is incidental only to the development of
their fullest permanent use. This use is limited
only SO far as Is needed to insure the perma-
nence of the forest and to keep it in satisfac-
tory condition. Last year 800, 900 cattle and
horses and $500. 900 sheep and goats grazed
within national forests. or ~ and II per cent,

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.

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

tween the use Of the national forests or any
of their resources. for the permanent benefit
OF many. or for the temporary benefit OF a
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 and telling
them how.
The 1874, 500, 900 acres of national forests
stand for the first plank. They conserve most
of the water and one.third 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-
hent 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-ffth Of the time of
