LOAN TO UNCLE SAM
SAVES GIANT TREES
National Geographic Society Helps Give
People Great Playground.

Through a unique instance OF co-opera-
non between the United States govern
.rrnt and the National Geographic So
ciety with headquarters in Washington.
one of the most magnificent Fairgrounds
i'm America has been preserved from de-
struction and given to the people.
The tract is known as the Giant For
est, in the heart OF the SeQuoia National
Park. the only scenic section of this
great preserve of more than 10000 acres
which is accessible to motor-driven and
horse-drawn vehicles at the present time.
This tract contains the biggest and oldest
trees in the world. trees that were 1000
ye2rs old when Christ was born.
The Giant Forest is a table-land, fairly
circular in shape and about two miles in
diameter. The largest tree in the world,
the General Sherman. having a circum-
ference at its base of 102 feet, a diameter
of G6.5 feet. and a height of 279.9 feet,
stands here. While the park was created
for the purpose of protecting trees stand
ing on privately patented holdings, they
were not protected at all. but were sub
ject to destruction at the will of their
owners.
The last session OF Congress appro-
priated $4,000 for the purchase Of these
private holdings, but the owners refused
to sell except on condition that adjacent
holdings be purchased at the same time,
the additional tracts bringing the price
up to $4,000 Interior Department ex-
perts estimate that the timber standing
on these private holdings has a value OF
S156, Al, but $4,000 was needed to complete
the purchase. However, a six months
option on the so acres was secured
The Interior Department, fearing the
option would lapse, conferred with the
National Geographic Society, and the
necessary 10000 was appropriated by the
society. Thus the preservation Of the
Giant Forest has been consumated.
