Lesson from Germany.

In Germany they have maintained the
fertility OF their soil for centuries. II
produces more per acre to-day than il
did many generations ago. Their great
forest estates have remained intact. they
have cut a crop OF timber from them
regularly every year, producing an an
nual income. but the capitalize forest
estates greater and more valuable To-
day than IL was before cur country was
discovered. Fires have not destroyed
their forest. They have long since learn
ed the wisdom of applying an ounce
Of prevention and fortunately have no
pork barrel 10 stand in the way.
And we find in our history many in
stances where great business enterprises
have sprung promptly from our efforts
TO intenigently develop the resources
around Us.
There seems 10 be ample evidence
that buseess activity follows promptly
upon the intelligent development Of nat
ural resources. and decay with equal GER
tainty follows the neglect Of wasteful use
Of the capital which nature tenders US.
and for our stewardship, OF which she
holds US strictly accountable
The net result IS. therefore, that there
is no general understanding OF even the
A B c Of conservation-such as should
be given to the people"
