In the conservation of water used for the

died by the officers of the forest service who
are the servants of the people, in the interest
first Of all of the small man. The timber and
the grass the national forests produce cost a
fair price to the lumberman and the stockman.
The forest service is not charged with the
regulation Of corporations But it is charged
with the right care of vast public property.
It sees to it that the yield from this property,
the water, the wood and the grass, goes first
to those who need it most-to the home build
ers. For every permit granted to man to
Craze 1000 head of stock or more. the forest
service has granted 10 permits to small own
ers to Craze their little lunches of sheep and
cattle. For every large sale of timber, it has
made 20 small sales to feed the little sawmills
upon Which the frontier communities depend.
The national forests are to the west what
coal is to the engine. The forest service is
the stoker. There is coal enough in the
bunkers to keep full head of steam through

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
10 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 194,500,O00 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 average
cost for protection of about one-fifth of 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
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 $4,000 acres, an

which is alone sufficient if it were cut clean

years, is of less value than the sites for the

The protection of the national forests from

only so far as is needed to insure the perma-

respectively of the range stock of the west.
Nearly 100000 900 feet of mature timber was
sold and cut, or enough to build $4,000 ordinary
frame houses. More than 130, ,000,0 900 feet more

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 valuable
