he yearly g,owth of wood Tn our icrt:' 'a has Teen .4timated L., average Fl more than i? cubic feet pe., acre. we re taking tct about 36 cubic feet per acre, and are therefore ,attirp the ior'S'' three tlnes as fast as they grow.
 Through the inevitable econoni, development of the country. the amount of land chiefly valuable for growing forests may be expected to shrlnk from it's present extent of $50. ooo,o00 acres (including farm wood- lots) to approximately 45O,OOO, 900 acres, or, assuming a population of l50,O00,OO0, to 300 acres for every 100 inhabitants.
 To maintain our present per capita consumption of 26O cubic feet of wood, however, there would have to be |2,166 acres of forest for every 100 in- habltants, or more than seven times the probable future area.
 The present forest area is 775 acres Tor every 100 inhabitants. It meets our own needs only because it still offers supply of virgin timber, the accumulated capital of centuries. to supply the deficiency.
 With increasing scarcity as this supply is drawn lower, economy in the use of woods will be forced. As wood becomes more expensive, growing it will become more profitable. Thus eventually balance between produc- tion and consumption will be reached.
 A supply of wood sufficient for our future needs will be the result of:
 1. Reducing the per capita con- sumption.
 7. Protecting the forests from fire.
 3. Increasing the annual growth per acre through the practice of for. |estry.
 By greater economy in the use of wood the per capita consumption could easily be reduced from the present figure of 260 cubic feet to 15O or even 100 cubic feet without hardship. We use only 150 per cent of the total val ume of the tree and leave 50 per cent to be wasted.
 Forest fires every year destroy, on an average. 12 billion board feet of timbe". If the forests were protect ed there would be just this much more timber available. Protection from fire gives the forests chance to grow.
 The aim of forestry is to bring the forest up to is highest state of pro- effectiveness and keep it there. In the United States. where forestry is not practiced except on Government and State lands, the estimated annual pro- |duction, as stated before, is F cubic feet per acre. In SaXony, where for estry has been practiced for many years, the annual production is 93 GU. D i. feet.
 If our final forest area of 450 100000 acres is made to yield an average of 50 cubic feet per acre, as it can by the practice of scientific methods, there will be enough wood for a per capita consumption of 150 cubic feet by 150,- 100000 people.
