FOREST RECEIPTS INCREASE.
For the Past Fiscal Year Were 5000,
900 More Than for Previous Year.

Receipts from the national forests in
| the fiscal year just closed exceeded those
for 1916, the banner previous year, by
more than 100000, and totaled over
SO 100000. The cost of operating the
forests, about 100000, was virtually
the same as in 1915.
The increase, according to the forestry
officials, came chiefly from more active
timber business and from the higher fees
charged for grazing, although practi-
cally every form of use OF the forests
was greater than ever before and nearly
every revenue producing activity contrib
uted to the gain. The only exception
was that of sales of turpentining priv
ileges, which fell off nearly one-half
Since these sales ere made only on the
Florida forest the receipts from this
source are relatively small
The timber business realized for the
government over Sl,600,000 and live
stock grazing 100000 and other forms
of land occupancy, including leases of
land for summer homes, as much more.
In this item the gain was 2S per cent.
1t is pointed out by the forest serv-
ice that many forms of use of the for
ests bring in no revenue. Settlers in and
near the forests are allowed much free
timber for domestic and farm use and
are also allowed free grazing up to ten
head of mich or work animals. As pub
lie recreation ground the forests are open
to all without charge, while their almost
value for water conservation
is maintained solely at the cost of the
government. Although their administra-

ton and protection as public utilities
necessitate large expenditures which
yield no money returns, the narrowing
gap between expenditures and receipts
holds out the prospect, those in charge
of the work feel, that the revenues will
in no great time exceed the operating
cost.
With the demand for timber markedly
stimulated by war conditions, the gov
eminent forests anticipate further in
crease in the national forest cut and the
receipts for timber during the current
year. On the other hand, they point
out that an increase in business will
necessarily call for more work and in
creased costs. Congress provided for
this by increasing the funds available
this year for national forest administra
ton and protection by about $4,000.
OF the grazing receipts cattle furnished
approximately 100000 and sheep $780,
900. On account of the feed shortage
faced by the live stock industry through
out great part of the west last spring,
and because of the needs of the nation
for meat, wool, and hide production, the
stock were admitted early and up to the
full limit of the carrying capacity of the
ranges. As result of regulated grazing
the capacity of the ranges has been
growing greater for some years, the for
est service officials state, and the in
crease in grazing receipts is in part due
to the fact that the herds on the for
ests this summer are larger than in any
previous season.
