measures in neither national, state Or
private forests are sufficient to prop
erly protect them. Get together on
a national. state and private forest fire
protection program. 1t is the need of
the hour and when this has been done
the first step toward a mutually salts
factory national forest policy will have
been made. Other features of this poll
icy are certain to follow in due

The need of a national forest policy
hand to the farthest corners of the
earth and the reckoning of a settle-
ment is now puzzling the brains Of
the world. In round numbers the
cost of the war to the world is placed
at 1877 billions of dollars. The secre-
tary of war has said hat every child
born for the next 100 years will have
a part of the bill to pay. What are we
doing to Tighten that burden?
The American Forestry Association,
through its campaign for planting
memorial trees. is educating the Amer.
can people to the values of forestry.
The Association aims to register every
tree planted and a marker has been
designed for these trees. Plans are
also going forward for tree planting
on a wholesale scale, so that
forests may be r~eplenished before it is
too late. Let there be united action

that even great quantities of fish in

One of Worst Fires In History
In 1910 the most recent great dis
aster from forest fires occurred in the
Pacific Northwest That year was the
driest ever known in the West, par
ticularly in Northern Idaho and North
western Montana. July asa severe
electric storm. practically without
rain, passed over the Northern Rocky
Mountains, setting many fires. The
Occur d'Alene Mountains in particu-
lar suffered from these fires. In three
days the forest rangers put out nine
fires set by lightning in the Occur
d'Alene National Forest. From one
cause DR. another many other fires
were set. Heroic measures were taken
to- extinguish them.
Eighteen hundred men, besides two
companies of soldiers. were fighting
fires in the Occur dAlene Forest alone.
and large crews were fighting fires in
other parts OF the Northwestern
forests. The men fought day and
night building trenches around the
and gradually combining them to
a small area. All fires seemed to be
under control when. August 20. a
hurricane sprang up. sweeping all the
separate fires together and making a
gigantic wall of fame many miles

place in a battle is proverbially diff
cult until the smoke clears away. With
great forest fires a similar situation is
created. 1t is unfortunate, but newt
able, that just now when spectacular
losses are again directing public atten-
ton to the great need of better pro-
lection against these fires, it is i'm
possible to make out fully why the
efforts to control them have not been
more successful. That can only be
told when all the details can be studied
and analysed. Nevertheless, certain
undeniable facts stand out.
Tremendous Losses
In 1918 the fire loss is estimated at
$2S,500,0 00 and $500, 900 acres were
burned. The fire in Minnesota, which
swept its way into the city limits of
Duluth is still fresh in the public
mind. With the coming of fall and
the dry season we seem to always have
forest fires with US. Going back we
find that n of these occurred in
New Brunswick, in the fall of 1925,
on the Miramichi River. during a sea-
son of great drought. Within nine
hours that fire had burned over a
strip of forest eighty miles long and
twenty-five miles wide, destroying ev-
cry living thing in its path. One hun
and sixty persons persisted and
nearly one thousand head of stock.
Five hundred and ninety buildings
were burned and several towns we're
destroyed, including Newcastle, Chat

"Timberland owners, possess about
rs per cent. of our timberland. The
national and state governments hold
the balance. Therefore the majority
of the owners of the timber must
be in accord with any policy die
tating the management, the protec-
ton and the reforestation of their
land before it can be successful. You
cannot compel an owner to develop
and perpetuate his timberland at a
financial loss; If you wish him to re-
forest his land, you must make it pay
him. as other countries do.
Indicating the right kind of a forest
policy and securing its adoption is
much too big a problem to be hastily
solved. Foresters must first get to-
gether with the lumbermen and tim
berland owners on such of its pro-
visions Is you both already under
stand and then you can convert them
to other features about which there
now might be discord.
Fire Protection
"Of first importance is the feature
on which agreement is possible
namely. fire protection. Forest fires
have this year caused millions of dol
lars of damage in the Northwest. The
United States Forest Service spent
more than a million dollars fighting
these fires in July alone. Private
agencies spent lavishly in protecting
their lands but the fire protection

Thousands Perish.

Thousands Perish.
In Wisconsin in the fall of 1871 a
single fire swept over an area of more
than two thousand square miles. II
destroyed the town Of Peshtigo, and
between 1900 and 1900 persons per.
ished. That same year the damage
by fire elsewhere in the country was
enormous.
The fire that destroyed the town of
Hinckley. Minn., in the fall of 1894
is remembered by all of US AS in
other great fires, it was a season of
exceptional drought. Fires were con-
stantly starting that fall. but there
was no effective effort to ~extinguish
them. Forest fires were so common
that there was NJ special fear of pos
sible danger until 1t "a too late to
meet the situation.
AS often happens the different small
fires were suddenly merged, and a
great fire resulted which swept over
the town of Hinckley and six other
towns, entirely destroying them. kill
ing five hundred persons and making
two thousand more destitute. The
estimated loss In property by this FIRE
vas more than 25 million dollars.
The use of aeroplanes to detect the

n to which those, trained for dealing
death from the skies, Z will ever be
put. Aeroplanes are fast being put
into this service in the West and
Northwest and it is predicted that their
service will be invaluable.
There is a big opportunity for
foresters to get together with lumber
men and cumberland owners on a fire
protection policy as the first step to-
ward a national forest policy. Charles
Lathrop Pack. president of the Amer
lcan Forestry Association of Washing
ton, points out. In an address before
the New England Forestry Confer
ence. Mr.. Pack said:
Forests or Germany
Germany built its empire and de-
veloped its wonderful military strength
upon a financial foundation furnished
by its forests. The United States must
decide upon a national forest policy
in order to perpetuate it's timber sup
ply. We have no adequate forest pol
icy now. The United States is far
behind France. Great Britain, Ger
many. Japan and other nations in this
respect. Bankrupt in the Napoleonic
period, Germany found its only asset
in its valuable timberlands and by
adopting a national forest policy
based on producing timber as a crop,
built the empire which so recently
sought dominion over the entire world.
In the United States we have only
about one-fourth of our original forest
and this is now disappearing three
times faster than it is being repro
duced. We must. before it is all gone.

future needs, n we can do SO IL you
foresters will get together with the
and timberland owners
and agree upon a practical. workable
forest policy. The country is grateful
to Col. Henry s. Graves. United States
Forester. for demanding a national
forest policy at this time. and the
are the men whom the coun-
try expects to formulate this forest
policy. 1t Is your business to do 1t
