NATIONAL FORESTS PAY
NATION BIG PROFIT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The largest
increase ever made in a single year Is
seen in the receipts from the national
forests for the fiscal year ending June
~, 1919, which were greater by $685.
4S4'f9 than In the previous 12 months.
Inc receipts totaled SA,85S,4i SAYS the
chief forester in his annual report. TO
ms total the grazing business con
ributed more than SO, 500, 600 and the
receipts from timber were somewhat
more than 81, 500. 600. The receipts from
grazing exceeded those of 1918 by $685.
1871 while those from timber declined
$93,6i9.4 As. From the occupancy Of land
Tor. miscellaneous uses the fees were
$l36, wv, and from use for water power
development $72.322.
The Forester says that the falling off
IN the receipts from timber was not due
to any material reduction in the cur
rent timber sale business, but Is eX-
planned chiefly by the fact that in 1915
settlement was secured under a court
judgment OF a claim against one of the
transcontinental railroad companies
amounting with interest to $50. 264.
The Increase in the receipts from
grazing was due to the fact that last
year the final step was taken In car
rying through the advance in the graz
ing fees, proposed in 1916 and inaugu-
rated in 1917.
That the receipts from grazing now
exceed those from timber by more than
81 600, 900 and form GO per cent of the
total receipts is due to the fact that
practically the entire forage crop can
under present conditions be utilized,
while' the annual timber cut is but an
insignificant fraction Of the sustained
yield o~btainable from the forests, or Of
the total cut Of the country.
With the stockmen paying more than
81, 500. 900 annually into the public
treasury for the use of the national
forest ranges, there is strong reason for
their urging an increase in government
expenditures to make the range more
useful to them.
The Forester points out that while
the receipts for 1919 were 175 per cent
Of those for 1915, the cost Of operating
has remained practically stationary.
Some new fire funds were appropriated
but did not become available until the
last Of July, Unless higher salaries are
paid for foresters and more money pro-
vided for protection, the maintenance
of an efficient organization win be i'm
possible.

tanning a navigabie channel by the
government dredge fleet. The river at
Memphis fell rs feet during the As

The river at Memphis will continue
to fall for an indefinite period, S. G,
Emery, local forecaSter. declares, and
all stations above Memphis reported
Monday that the river was falling.
The very rapid fall of the river at
Memphis has left a large deposit of
mud along the levee inside the canal,
and efforts are being made to wash
this away, but with very little success.
Several wharfboats are high and dry on
the mud and with a continuation Of
