CONSERVATION OF RESOURCES.

Continued from page 81
the conveniences are included for the
comfort and prosperity of those who
settle there for homes.
The farm land that has the greatest
value is the small acreage near the
centers of population, or such as is
producing a permanent staple COM
mercial crop, establishing an interest
revenue that regulates the value.
Land values are greatest where the
commercial interests of a community
are common and more so when the
products are regulated and protected
by organization, and this can best be
afforded by the small farm. The
acreage of the farm must be regulated
to the size of the farmers capacity in
intelligence, health and bank account.
The success of the small farm in the
future will not necessarily depend on
markets, because this feature will be
absorbed by organization which will
command quality in products, and
with quality the demand will come
faster than the supply.
One can produce more when he
limits the capacity of the farm to what
he can personally do or by system
regulate and direct. And the labor
problem must be solved and elevated
by the farmers ability to control the
work by himself and family, and
which can be more readily accom-
plished on the small farm. Where the
labor problem is beyond the capacity
of the household in communities OF
small farms, it is generally supplied
by the assistance of neighbors or by
the organization representing the in
dustry, which should be equal to these
emergencies.
AS to the by-products on the farm,
they are frequently the basis of profit
over loss and especially so when by
organization the material is gathered
at central point to better and cheap
en- the cost of production. Especially
is this true today because of the pro-
lection afforded the farmer by our
national and state pure food laws.
These laws add material value to the
small farm.

where forests formerly adorned the
hills and mountains. The cOnserva-
zionist has something to do now in
working for change in the system
of handling the forests. The time
has come when prompt action is nee
essary in order to insure a continual
ton of the sources of raw materials
for the present, and without endan-
gering the legitimate industries of
the present.

Conservation And Reforestation
By Joel Shoemaker

The Washington State Conservation
Commission consists of "a members,
appointed by former Governor Albert
e. Mead. It's first session was held
in Olympia last January, when an or
ganization was effected and conser-
walton legislation suggested. Among
the measures endorsed by the Com
mission were the bills authorizing a
continuation of the work of expert
menting in clearing logged-off lands
ping of the state for the purpose of
classifying the remaining public arid
and logged-off lands. Both bills passed
and are now in effect.
The State of Washington is hon
ored in having the first National Con-
gress of prominent Americans inter
ested in the principles of conserva-
ton. The congress promises to be
the largest and most enthusiastic
gathering of statesmen and men of
advanced thought of the age.
The Conservation Congress prom
Uses to add several important chap
ters to the pages of conservation in
the great books of American re-
sources. Prominent among the sub
iects to be discussed is that of re-
forestation in it's relation to the gen.
eral topic of conservation, which i'm
plies a practical knowledge of how to
utilize the natural resources of the
country for the benefit of present and
future generations.
The State of Washington is one of
the largest timber producing sections
of the world. The Puget Sound coun-
unknown as Western Washington
originally contained forest areas COM
pr.sing 100000 acres. The timber of
commercial value comes from the fir,
cedar and hemlock trees. Many mills
have been established in various To-
calities and approximately 100000
acres have been logged-off, or shorn,
of the marketable standing timber in
the State of Washington alone. How
to reforest those areas and thus in
sure permanent incomes to the lum-
bermen and farmers Of the future, is
one of the problems confronting the
conservationists. On the proper solu-
ton of the question depends much of
the financial prosperity of coming
years.
Much of the logged-off lands are
valuable for agricultural and grazing
purposes, when the stumps have been
removed and system of cultivation
established. This, however, requires
the expenditure of money ranging
from $25 to $500 per acre for clearing
~ LnH EauILU "

and putting the land in condition for
the pillow. Because of the great eX-
pense of clearing, almost the entire
logged-off area remains in a deserted
and desolate condition-not possess
ing any value for farmers, and worth
but little to the loggers and lumber
men. What to do with the logged-off
land is a problem that requires more
than individual consideration. 1t has
attracted the attention of legislators
of both the state and nation, and
active work of investigation into the
cost of clearing and utilizing such
areas is being prosecuted by official
agents of the government.
Reforestation is one of the living
questions confronting all of the Am
erican people today. When a market
able tree is cut away from the forest,
it represents the growth of centuries.
1t cannot be replaced in a day, and
in some cases cannot be renewed
within a generation of the human
family. In many instances the mar
ketable trees occupy positions of more
than ordinary Importance. They hold
the key to the secret of the mainten-
moisture that supply the valleys be-
low with water for domestic and ir-
rigatiOn purposes.
The cutting away of the trees in
such instances results disastrously to
the water supply needed for driving
the wheels of machinery, supplying
the homes with one of the necessities
of life and furnishing to the soil that
which it must have in order to pro-
duce satisfactory crops.
The conservation movement is in
tended to take the initiative in pre-
serving and protecting all of the
natural resources of our country. The
forests-forming the foundation of so
much wealth and prosperity-are
naturally the first to be considered.
To properly reforest the denuded dis
tricts will demand the attention OF
the combined forces of state and ma
ton. One man alone cannot do much
in reforestation because of the neces-
sity for cooperation If forest fires
and general waste are to be prevented
The time has come when all should
be interested in the subject of refor-
estation. Men should be encouraged
in every legitimate way to plant and
cultivate forests. 1t is a part of the
legitimate work of the farmer and OF
the land owner. Object lessons show
ing the results of wasteful methods
in logging and numbering are notice
able in every section OF the country

TURNING WASTE INTO MONEY.

Allowing nothing to go to waste
that can be turned into money" is the
spirit of the commercialism that now
rules industrial America. 1t is the in
spiration that is stimulating scientific
research, mechanical inventions in ev-
cry field. 1--WE market every part of
the hog except the squeal," said the
late P. D. Armour to a visitor he was
showing about his pork-packing es-
tablishment, and that, be it noted, was
before the day of the monograph. Mr..
Armour was an early starter.
A distinct impetus was given the
utilization of material long allowed to
go to waste, by enforcement of laws
for the protection of communities
against nuisanceS. 1t was the force
of public opinion that first compelled
the pork packers to invent processes
for the conversion of the intolerable
refuse of their great abattoirs into
fertilizers and the many other by-pro-
ducts now yielding fat profits, and to
create a market for them.
The same is true of the great oil-re-
fineries of the Standard and other
companies in the petroleum industries
By-products, numbering several hun
dred in all, are the largest profit
makers of the Standard. The premier
refining company of the world owes
a very considerable percentage of it's
enormous wealth to the refusal of the
keen-smelling public to dwell without
protest in the noxious atmosphere of
the old-time refinery.
Having discovered the money there
is in by-products, the genius and cap
ital of man has been for years and is
still enlisted in struggle to extract
the ultimate dollar from every detailed
resource of the animal, vegetable and
mineral kingdoms-from air, water,
substance. There is seemingly no
limit to the development of the idea.
That is one of the features in which
America leads.-Wall Street Journal.
