The national and state governments

you must make 1t pay him, as other
countries do.
One most important feature of n ma
tional forest policy on which agree
ment is possible is fire protection.
Forest fires have this year caused
millions Of dollars of damage In the
northwest. The United States forest
service spent more than q million dol
lars fighting these fires In July alone.
Private agencies spent laviShly In pro-
tecting their lands but the fire protec-
tion measures in neither national,
state or private forests are sufficient
to properly protect them. Get to-
gether then 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 mutually satisfactory
national forest policy will have been
made. Other features of this policy
are certain to follow in due course.

GET TOGETHER

1.-THE United States must decide up
on national forest policy in order
to perpetuate its timber supply" says
Charles Lathrop Pack, president of
the American Forestry association.
We are far behind France Great Brit
ain. Germany, Japan and other ma
tions in this respect.
The United States has only about
one.fourth of Its original forest and
this is now disappearing three times
faster than it is being reproduced.
We must, before 1t is all gone, pro-
vide for a timber supply for our fu-
ture needs and we can do so if for
esters get together with the lumber
men and timberland owners and agree
upon a practical, workable forest pol
lev. The country is grateful to Col.
Henry S. Graves, United States for

policy at this time, and the foresters

VALUE OF FORESTS

$50 important are forests In the
life of nation that Germany will
find that France will insist upon Ger
many's paying in lumber for the casu-
allies of the French forests which
were destroyed during the war;" de-
clares Z. S. Ridsdale, secretary of the
American Forestry association, who
has made tour Of the allied coun-
tries. Mr.. Ridsdale went to Europe
TO investigate forest losses In France,
Belgium, Italy and Great Britain, so
that the American Forestry associa-
ton might determine how America
could help to replace the destroyed
forests of Europe by presenting for
est seed to the various governments.
an northern France many of the
forests" he says, have been so badly
smashed by shell, shrapnel and rifle
fire. or so badly cut for trench tim
hers. fuel wood and other supplies for
the contending armies that they have
been virtually destroyed. They car
be restored only by replanting.
1.-THE agricultural land lying be-
tween the forests in various sectors
of the battle front have been so torn
to pieces by shell fire that 1t is no
longer serviceable for agriculture and,
like the devastated forests, will have
to be planted with forest tree seed

holes may be filled by gradual ero-
sion and the humus Of the soil re-
stored.

tools planing-mill products and the
like. About one-third of the total
capital invested in the wood-manufac-
turing Industries of the country and
about one-third of the wage earners
in these industries are found in this
section. They use five and a half bill
lion feet of lumber year, or about
quarter of the aggregate used in
this country for such enterprises.
To-day the home product does not
nearly meet the annual requirements,
but, further than that, the cutting
that is done far exceeds what is
grown each year. II is probable, from
the best estimates that | have been
able to secure, that the annual growth
of material of potential value in the
three states is not over one-quarter of
what 10 cut each year. This means
that the forests are progressively los
ing ground with considerable rapidty.
This deficit is due only in part to
the clearing of land for agriculture.
1t is due also to the failure to handle
the lands in a way to secure good re-
production and properly to protect the
young trees that become established.
With better care and management the
forest lands of these states should
yield two or three times the present
growth, and this would, l believe. be
possible without checking the extern
sion of cultivation over lands suited
to that purpose. There are many
convincing reasons why these states
should produce az much as possible in
the way of forest growth from land
that is best adapted to that purpose
and in the aggregate these areas
amount to great deal"
