RETURNS FROM u. S. FORESTS

Growing Value of Timber Lands More Than

allowed to defer payment Of their
grazing fees until fall by special
act of Congress.
The Forest Service spent for ali
purposes last year s7,7ss,S7o and
obtained from the forests. includ-
ing the grazing fees, due but not
yet paid. $4.427,s25. 1t invested
$3S2,219. in research which seeks

growing and utilizing TO best ad-
vantage both our public and pri-
vate forests. The rest may be
charged against national forest ad-
ministration, protection and i'm
provement. 1t is partly operating
expense and partly in the nature
of an investment in a property OF
growing value. The gross income
was only a little. less than last
year. when 34.7s3,4s2 was received
from all sources.
Beginning in 1905. the growth In
area was rapid until 1909. Since
then the area has remained about
the same. The following table

Washington Boasts of
Fine Riding Academy

One of the largest and finest
riding academies south OF New
York is located at 1922 L street
northwest. This academy, which is
owned by Fred C. Lloyd, boasts of
a string of thirty horses. both sad
die and hunters. Special attention
to beginners and class riding under
control Of capable Instructors are
also contributing features.
Rock Creek and Potomac parks
are threaded with smooth paths
that lure the rider from desk or
drawing room out into the open.
The jumps in Rock Creek Park is a
popular rendezvous on SUNDAY
morning for horse Iove.
The pleasures of thk saddle are
those that may, in Washington, be
enjoyed throughout the. year. Never
does it grow too warm in WASH
ington for a morning canter before
breakfast and office, or a moon
light ride along the Potomac.

National Forests-1OOS-1021.

The decline has been due to land
classification and other changes
which allows the elimination of
agricultural I and mineral lands.
The effort has been to get only
real forest land within the forest
boundaries.
The use of the forests both as
timber fields and grazing grounds
is Indicated by the returns from
each of these sources. The graz
ing fees have grown in Importance
since 1916 until the total exceeds
that received from the sale of tim
Der. The slump in the timber mar
ket will be reflected in the re-
duced returns from this source in
the next year more than in 1921.
Income and Expens Of National Forast,.
The Washington herald., 1921-10-24

The losses have increased due to
seasons favorable to- fires and not
from any lessened efforts at pre-
vention and control From $500, 900
to 100000 a year has usually been
sufficient for this service. The saw
ing Of timber by fire fighting is
difficult to estimate but certainly
amounts to many times the cost of
the protective measures.
The annual loss OF all timber
each year from fre was estimated
last year to be about 2,250,000 900
board feet The loss from insects,
disease, etc, is somewhat greater
To this loss add the reduction of
forests by cutting about $1,000
100000 board feet a year and the
total exhaustion Is about 56,00o,-
100000 board feet a year. To re-
place this we are growing only
about 1o,ooo,OoO,ooo board feet a
year.
The original forest area of the
country is estimated to have been
about sz2.ooo.Oo0 acres. while at
1920 the total area was placed at
463.000,0o0 acres, Of which $4,000
900 acres was virgin forest
|. The national forests now include
about 100000 acres of the 1885,
100000 acres of virgin forests In
the United States. In the Rocky
Mountain and Pacific Coast regions,
where about half of the virgin for
ests are located, the national for
ests cover 100000 acres of a
total Of 100000 acres of virgin
forests.
The national forests are there
fore protecting our future timber
supply to considerable extent
while at the same time returning
almost as much revenue to the
government as 1t costs to provide
this insurance against timber de-
struction.
