for the adoption Of an enlarged pro

department Of agriculture points out
has become increasingly urgent.
Must Join Hands.
More than 20 years ago the division
Of forestry, as it was then called, offer.
ed to give advice and assistance to
private timber owners who might wish
to consider applying forest manage
ment to their properties. BY the mid
die of 1905 requests had been received
for the examination of private hold.
ings, large and small, comprising In
all 100000 acres of land Many of
these requests were from large lumber
companies and other owners Of exten-
sive timber tracts. On the strength Of
the showing made by the preliminary
examinations, number Of these large
owners entered into cooperative agree
ments for the preparation of work.
Ing plans.
But private forest interests failed to
follow up the beginning, and the gov
eminent and the states, in the opinion
Of the department Of agriculture, must
join hands to work out a program that
will correlate public and private eff
forts looking to the protection and
proper administration of forests The
function of the federal government
in addition to handling the national
forests, it is suggested, would be to
stimulate, guide and coordinate state
action and conduct necessary fnvesti.
cations regarding the best methods of
forestry, to assist the states in the
of land, and to harmonic
action between the different states.
The states would also handle public
property owned by them and they
would have a further direct respon-
sibilfty in connection with the protec-
ton and perpetuation of private for
est lands.
