What To Do

Next TO our need Of food and
water CONES our need of timber
Our industries subsisting wholly OF
mainly upon wood pay the wages
1 of more than one-half million men
and women
Forests not only grow timber,
but they hold the soil, and they
. conserve streams for all useful pur-
poses. How far forests increase the
rain is not vet known, hut we do
know that less rain falls on desert
land than on forest area. 1t is well
known that they check wind and
work against excessive heat or cold.
That they make for the fiber, health
and happiness Of each citizen and OF
the Nation, has been known since
history began.
1t is an absolute principle No
forests, no waterways Without
forests regulating the distribution of
water, rainfalls are at once hurried
to the sea, hurried, alas, across the
country. After devastating the
neighboring fields, the rivers find
themselves again with little water
and much sand Do you want to
have navigable rivers or do you pre-
fer to have torrents that will destroy
your crops and never bear a boat
The River Loire in France used to
be one of her best waterways, it is /
now the river whose foundations
are most destructive. Special studies I
have been made and for the River
Loire in particular. The parts of
the country are being reforested, /
that is necessary to make the river .
as navigable as it was before. The
officials who have the care of the
canals have also the supervision of
the rivers. Thus we are working in
order to turn to the best possible use
the natural resources of our country
those resources which the rash
ness of the isolated individual would
often destroy if the government did
not interfere in the interest of the
many.
We have allowed erosion, that
great enemy of agriculture, to i'm
,overish and overflow hundreds of
.quare miles, to destroy our farms.
The Mississippi alone carries year
Y to the sea more than a 600 900,
100 tons of the richest soil within
IS basin. If this soil is worth a dol
ar a ton it is probable that the total
Oss of fertility from soil wash to
he farms and torests-owners of
he United States--is not far from
billion dollars a year. Our streams,
b spite of the millions Of dollars
pent unto them, are less navigable
han they were fifty years ago, and
be soil, lost by erosion from the
arms and the deforested mountain
ides, is the chief reason.
