WHERE ATTENTION IS NEEDED.

What the outcome will be the future will reveal, but it cannot fail to be appreciated that asmove in the right direction is made when the American Forestry association approves a plan for cooperaticn on the part.of the fed eral and state governments for the preservation and development Of woodlands.
 Great. ilroads have been made into the forests of the country: The wood chopper, has been busy for years and he will continue. active. Denuded hills are tellipg the story of his work not only throughout New England but in the north central states, the north west. along the. Pacific coast and in the southland. There is still a largs acreage of timberland but it is go- ing fast, and the vegetable part of it all is that inadequate provision is be- ing made for, the time when the exist ing woodland will be exhausted. The present generation may not see :. the day when the shortage will be greatly increased but there is need of looking beyond our nose.
 Consider the vast. amount Of land that can be put to no better use than the growing of trees, the sections, that are made up of waste but reclaima- ble territory and the cut-over wood land of which no use is being made along with, the large consumption and waste of wood, and it is evident that there is need of greatly increasing whatever efforts are being made to replace the dwindling forests.
 It takes time for trees to grow: but much better results can be secured If careful attention is given to the wood land instead of leaving it to make headway for itself. Many states are interested in reforestation work and the value of it is being disclosed with each passing year. If better results can be obtained. by cooperation be- tween the federal and state govern ment in this line of endeavor it should by all means be attempted. The future needs should get due consider ation while there is time to prevent the effects of serious shortage.
