timber is privately owned, and prl-
vate commercial timber lands furnish
81 per cent of our annual timber cut.
It is precisely these private forests
that are being devastated. The rem
edy is to keep them at work growing
trees. A saw log takes from sixty
to hundred years to grow. There
fore the time to start growing it is
not after our forests are gone, but
now. There is no reason why We can
not start at once. We have land
enough and knowledge enough to go
ahead.
The report suggests a National
Commission with authority to make
and apply such regulations as may be
necessary to prevent forest devasta.-
ton on privately owned lands. Such
regulations would lock up no forest
resources, but would insure that young
growth will take the place of old.
Uniform control, National and Nation
wide, would put the lumbermen of all
the States on the same equitable bas-
is. Protection against fire Except IN
! National Forests) would be left in the
hands of the States, with generous
financial assistance from the Federal
Government.
The plan is intended to apply only
to commercial forests and not to wood
lots on farms.
Will it pay the private owner to
keep his cut-over lands productive?
In general, yes; but that is not the
whole issue. 1t will pay the Nation
and the States, for forest devastation
in the end leads straight to national
disaster. Is better protection against
fire all that is needed? No, because
unless numbering is so regulated as to
leave trees growing on logged-off
lands there will be nothing worth
while to protect. Should we resort to
persuasion rather than compulsion
That has been tried for the past twen-
ty years, and has utterly failed. Uni.
form, nation wide, compulsory legis-
lation is the only adequate remedy.
Sincerely yours,
CLIFFORD PINCHOT.

LOST OPPORTUNITIES

Republican leaders in Congress have
failed as signally to make political
capital for their party-and that was
one of their purposes-as they have
to enact beneficial legislation for the
country. A good legislative record
would have been at once useful to the
people and advantageous to the Re-
publican party. A catalog of their
opportunities happens also to be a
list of their failures.
When the special session of Con-
gress was convened last May the
country expected and demanded a
whole body of measures that would as
sist reconstruction. There was, for
instance, the problem of fixing the
definite status of the railroads, which
were neither the property of the gov
eminent or their stockholders. For
want of any decisive action of Con-
gress the roads still remain in the
same anomalous situation. Special
taxes which went to swell the cost
of living without at the same time
representing large revenues to the
government were on the books-and
they are still operative. Provision for
the soldiers was generally desired and
certainly was justified, but even on
the first anniversary of the armistice
it is still lacking. Most important of
all, there was need for the prompt
restoration of peace as a prerequl-

How the "Ideal" Small Town
Would Do Business.

Then, would defy anybody to find

town pretty often. There would be
no cut price sales except at regular
seasons of the year when clearance
events were necessary. If any leaders
were put on in featuring merchandise
ing events each store would put on
something different. These events
would be advertised comparatively
and the aim would be not to see which
merchant could get the most CUSTOM

attracted to the town for the sole pur-
pose of buying merchandise. | am
afraid that my town would be so good
that it would be flooded with business

of country merchandising would come

any other kind ! can think Of, right

FOREST DEVASTATION

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 30, 1919.
Editor Times, Pennington, Mo-,
Dear Sir:-When the price Of news
print doubled it brought forest de-
vastation home to every newspaper
office in America. If we had kept
the lands that are most useful for
growing pulpwood at work producing
it, instead of GLOWING their produc-
tive power to be destroyed, the pub
fishing industry would have escaped
its present excessive burden.
More than 100,000,000 acres Of for
est lands which ought to be growing
wood have been devastated, and are
mere idle wastes. If we had conserved
their vast power to produce instead
of recklessly destroying it, the price
of lumber would not have doubled,
and the consumer would have been
spared the corresponding rise IN the
cost of living.
The facts as to forest devastation
and the remedy for it are discussed in
a report released for January by
the Committee for the Application OF
Forestry of the Society of American
Foresters. This report is the most
informing and conclusive statement
vet made about our forests. take
pleasure in enclosing it herewith, and
! ask for your cooperation as a mat
ter of public service in bringing this
national danger to the attention OF
your readers.
The report shows that the United
States is the greatest timber consum.
er in the world; that we cut two anc
one-half times as much as we grow
that we have less than half as many
trees now standing as would be. re
quired to produce timber at the rate
we are using it; that our needs are in
creasing; that there are no forests il
the world from which we can impor
lumber enough of suitable kinds a.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1920-01-09

suitable prices to meet our needs;
and that on most of our forests we
practice not forestry but forest de-
vastation. Under these conditions a
timber shortage was inevitable. AS
the prices of paper and lumber show,
it is already here, and is growing
steadily worse.
If cut-over lands, valuable mainly
for forest growth, but now barren and
idle. in the East, the Lake States, and
the South had been wisely handled,
they would be growing, each year, as
much timber as they produced in the
year of their greatest yield, and that
timber would be available at half the
present prices. The difference is
what we pay for forest devastation.
Most or our timber-producing
States can no longer supply even their
own demands. Lumber must be haul
ed from constantly increasing dis
tances. Within ten years the Paci-
fic coast will be furnishing the bulk Of
| the Nations lumber. Already our
yearly freight bill on lumber amounts
to $4,000, 900, and even at present
rates, will reach $3.50, 1000, 600 within
twenty years. The consumer pays the
freight.
Excluding land and timber values,
three thousand millions of dollars are
invested in the forest industries of the
United States and those whose raw
materials the forest supplies. The an
nual product of these industries is
three and half billions. Wage earn
ers and their families dependent upon
them make up one-tenth of our total
population. Our forest industries
would seem to be worth saving.

Kill the Sparows
Suggests Gardener

The new gardens of Bogalusa are
suffering from inroads made by the
English sparrow. This little bird
makes his nest under the caves of
the houses, or behind the unused
shutter, and may do thousands of
dollars of damage to gardens during
one season. The best method of saw
ing your garden is to destroy every
nest as fast as it is found, and by
the use of air rifles or target rifles
to kill the little pest as fast as you
find him still.
II the sparrow nuisance increases
for the next five years as, it has in
the last five years, BOgalusa will be
city without a song bird or any of
the other vari-colored beauties that
are natives to the pines.
Kill the sparrow and destroy his
nest for the sake of your garden and
for the sake of the other bird that is
worth while.

Better Start That
Garden This Week

If you have been waiting for good
weather to arrive before starting
that garden, you need not wait an
other day, but go to work in the back
yard or that vacant lot this evening.
Indications are that gardens will
prove more profitable this year than
ever before, owing to the high cost
of everything and the fact that few
gardens are being planted, which will
result in the prices of truck being
high, even in the heart of the vege-
table season. ~
Those who desire to plant a gar
den will find that the Great Southern
Lumber Company is making the same
inducements as during the war
furnishing the land, blowing it, fur
lumber to fence your ground
if you desire to do so.
Besides proving profitable and en-
joyable, a garden will make it posi-
bic for you to have the choicest vege-
tables at all times.
