poverishment of state"
The opening for forestry with early
returns through leaving the smaller
timber for a second cut was 6welt
upon, but it was pointed out that real
forestry is not practised unless re-
production is provided for. Mr..
Graves recognized that the longtime
investment involved in tree-planting
on deforested land is not, under aver
age conditions at the present time, an
attractive one to lumbermen; nor did
he urge it. IF you should ask my
advice as to whether you should buy

ment. should advise against it. In
my judgment the question Of financial
returns from private forestry should
not be looked at from a theoretical
standpoint of purchasing land and
planting trees; but rather from the
standpoint of the management of for
ests already under timber. l believe
that the average American lumberman

Chief Forester Graves Discusses
Problem and Proposes Plan.
Not Legislation That IL Needed, But
Immediate Beginning Of Practical
Operation Of Forestry-Lum-
bernen Can Meet Issue.

New Orleans, Lain ADDRESSING
the National Lumber Manufacturers
association the other day Henry s
Graves. chief of the forest service
OF the United States department OF
agriculture, discussed the problem oil
private forestry and proposed a plan
for a general test by southern lum
bermen of the practicability of for.
estry on their own holdings.
The more study into this subject
OF private forestry" said Mr.. Graves,
the more I am convinced that what
Is needed is not immediate legisla-
ton, but an immediate beginning of
the practical operation of forestry. and
| am convinced that the results of
such beginning will be conclusive
evidence that American lumbermen
are fully capable of meeting the con-
servation problem both from the
standpoint Of the permanent require
ments OF the lumber trade and from
that Of the continued prosperity of the
public at large"
Forester Graves held that for
most large owners to introduce for
estry Immediately over their entire
holdings would not be practical from
a business standpoint, because this
would involve making a considerable
Investment In the dark 1t could not
be told either what forestry would
cost them or what 1t would bring
them. Further. a preliminary work
ing out OF the exact methods of cut
ting and fire protection needed should
be obtained. Therefore Mr.. Graves
proposed: "a That those lumbermen
who are interested in this matter
make an immediate test of the prac-.
tise of forestry on their holdings:
Cd that this be regarded as a begin
ming with view of ascertaining the
possibility of forestry. rather than an
attempt to establish an organized sys-
tenn of forestry over his entire hold
ings; CD that to accomplish this OBJ
ject they associate themselves to-
gether either through their trade as
or by a new association. In
order that through cooperation and
the expenses of forestry
may be reduced to a minimum; 90
that each owner set aside from 1000
to 10000 acres as a practical demon
stration ground: (5) that there be en-
ployed by the association a forester
to direct the technical work, his sal
airy and expenses to be properly pro-
rated among all the members; co
that each owner employ such 10
cal guards or rangers as are neces-
sary to carry out the fire regulations,
restrictions of cutting. ETC.
Mr.. Graves warned the lumbermen
that il they did not themselves move |

the public taking action to prevent the |

est destruction. There Is no ques-
tior.' he said. that there is a strong |
