on the need for prevention rather
than extinction of forest fires, and on
the necessity for the State purchasing
more forest land.
n. r. McNaughton, representing the
Department of Forestry and the Penn
sylvania Foresters' Association, en-
phasized the absolute necessity OF
larger appropriations if the work of
the department is to be carried on
efficiently He showed that the State
needs to treble its present holdings OF
forest lands; that a larger working
force is needed; that more roads,
II ails, firelanes, fire towers, telephone
lines, and surveys are essential; and
that no funds are at hand to make
these improvements. Continuing, the
speaker said: Your mines must
have the support of the forest to keep
running; your farms must have its
beneficial influence to remain pro-
ductive your shops and your factories
depend on it in a thousand ways;
your newspapers, which unite in warn
ing you against the dangers of further
indifference use a forest product to
carry a plea for forest preservation.
And now-to- -day-that branch of the
government to which you have en-
trusted the care of your forests has
barely enough funds to keep it alive
until the next session of the Legisla-
ture.
rs this preparedness? Is it good
business? Is it even horse sense? II
you admit that the need for sane
forestry practice is one of your
fundamental needs, you must also
admit that it should not be thrust into
the legislative background by political
whims of the moment, but should
have guaranteed it ample, continuous
financial support"
