This country Is cutting each year
nearly three times as much timber as
Is grown. While there Is a pressing
need for forest conservation, the
country is practicing forest devasta-
tion. These facts are from the recent
report of the Society Of American
Foresters, an organization Of men who
seek to arouse public interest in tree
planting, and in scientific forestry on
the part Of federal and state govern
ments. We need not go outside of our
own state TO note how rapidly the
trees are being butchered, says Ohio
State Journal. The great areas of fine
oak were long ago laid waste. The
rich stores Of black walnut. once so
plentiful in Ohio, are no more. Other
timber, the ash, for instance, has been
cut ard the states supply enormously
reduced. Now the soft woods, the
trees Of less value. are being taken for
cOoDeragc. where no other value may
he found. We are going nheud. OF
