Save the Forests
By DIR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright 1913. ~ Frank crsas)

Bad as the coal famine threatened to be,
n wood famine would be far worse
We have been too recklessly consuming
our wood inheritance II is time that forest
conservation should be inteligently taken
up by the state.
For the state is the only power that can
adequately manage the matter. The re-
turns Of reforestation are too slow for pri-
vate capital.
A Chicago paper points out that in the
three states OF Illinois. Ohio and Indiana
there is great deal OF soil too poor for
successful farming, but which might profit
ably be set out in trees. Trees are mineral
feeders and do not need so much humus as
grains and grasses.
Trees are not only needed to conserve
moisture and prevent erosion. which of late
years has been progressing at an alarming
rate, but they are of vital necessity TO many
industries.
The newspapers are up against a very
serious situation already as regards wood
pulp, and the factories are not far from
a still more disastrous wood famine.
The demands of France and Belgium for
American lumber is increasing. Three and
a half billion feet of logs and lumber were
exported annually before the war; seven
billion may be needed now" says the Ameri-
can Forestry Association.
Forests have been carefully conserved

for centuries in Europe and it is high time
America should initiate this example. II
the forests are not replenished the ever
growing demand for wood for all human
uses cannot after a while be met.
Great Britain is to spend $17,000O0o

used during the war in France.

ing the Gulf on the south and the Pacific
on the west. That means high prices b
cause of the long haul. Our lumber supply
is decreasing three times as fast as It i
growing. The lawmakers of this country
can do no greater service to the people
who elected them to office than at once
to take up and press forward national
forest policy. We must perpetuate our
forests to prevent future serious timber
famine, for wood is the backbone OF bus-
ness"
