the place Of domestic shsep and cattle
to some degree, and Dire, wind. and
insects would still attack the forest.
But many Of the most serious dangers
to the forest are Of human origin.
Such are destructive numbering. and
excessive taxation on forest lands, to
which much bad numbering 10 directly
due. 30 high are these taxes in some
states for in many cases they amount
to or even per cent. yearly on
the market value Of the forests, that
the owners cannot afford to pay them
and hold their lands. Consequently
they are forced to cut or sell their
timber In haste and without regard
to the future. When the timber ID
gone the owners refuse to pay taxes
any longer. and the devastated lands
revert to the state. Many thousand
square miles Of forest have been
ruined BY reckless numbering because
heavy taxes forced the owners to real
lie quickly and once for all upon their
forest land. instead Of cutting It in
way to insure valuable future
crops. For the same reason many
countries are now poor that might
otherwise have been nourishing and
rich.
