Private Forestry Possibilities.

Present tendencies in private forestry
indicate more logical development than.
at any time since forest conservation be-
came an issue. Instead of attempting
to put Immediately into effect complete
policies and an intensive management
which are scientifically correct. the things
now being attempted are the logical steps
which will ultimately lead to systematic,
longtime management of private forest
lands.
1.-The private owner is learning that fire
protection is possible and that 1T pays.
With this fact established other things
will be taken up and worked out until the
progressive timberland owner will flnd
that he is practicing the kind of forestry
which pays in this country.
I'm a word. private forestry. as IT can
be properly practiced in the United States
today is not the intensive forestry of
Germany, but the application of protec-
tive and close utilization measures with
provisions for natural regeneration. These
principles. applied as economic condi.
tions permit. will build up the art and
practice of forestry in America

Gives Time to Each Camp.
Such a doctor devoting his entire time
to this work would travel from camp to
camp. In cases of remote camps he
would stay long enough to give the men
daily instruction for short time. In
cases where number of camps could be
reached more easily from one place he
would arrange to give one or two lessons
week at each camp.
THE classes are formed from voiun-
teers who are given practical training.
The men soon realize the Importance of
such knowledge and are anxious to learn.
Even those who gather about as spec
tators pick UP not little useful infor-
nation.
Each camp should be supplied with
first aid outfits suitable to the needs of
logging accidents. and this the men
taught how to use.

States forester. delivered an address to-
day before the National Conservation
Congress.
Mr.. Graves said. in part:
1.-The nation has an important stake in
forestry Here. as in all other countries
the real development of forestry began
when the government took up its prac-
tice. Even today some persons would
leave the forests entirely to private own
ers others insist that the public phases
of forestry are altogether state func-
tion and federal activities in this field
uncalled for. Those who hold this view
are usually either lukewarm concerning
the need for forest conservation or op-
posed to restricting private activities.
Yet unrestricted private exploitation OF
forests is impossible if we are to con-
tinue to have the forests that the nation
needs.
National responsibility in forestry is
perfectly clear-cut. There need be no
confusion with an equally clean-cut re-
sponsibility of the states. AS TO private
forestry. little of value has so far been
done that has not been an outcome of
public action through state or federal
agencies both. The national work
will always be the backbone of American
forestry, not trenching on interfering
with state work or individual efforts. but
serving guarantee that national
needs which Individual states cannot meet
will be provided for on a national scale.
Underlying Forest Problem.
Underlying the forestry problem are
two fundamental considerations which
should be emphasized and reiterated until
thoroughly driven home. One is the pub
lie character of forestry. Both in the
matter of a continual supply OF forest
products and N that Of the conservation
of water resources the public welfare is
at stake. Secondly. stability of policy and
perman nence of ownership are essential,
to any successful attack on this great
conservation problem.
Il am frequently asked / travel
about the country whether | am going to
make important changes in forestry pol
icy. / was asked that very often in 1910,
when ] first took office. | am asked It
often this year. Ny answer is that what
we are seeking is not changes, but the
development of permanent public en-
terpise with consistent and stable poll
cies. The national forests were set aside
in the recognition that the bulk of these
lands should be handled permanently un-
der public protection and control.
1.-The aim of the present administration
is not to overturn. but to take every pos
sible step to increase efficiency Of the
organization. to adjust difficulties, and to
advance as fast as possible the purposes
for which the national forests were
established.
