There were In certain city two boys And they

C0UNTRY'S NEED OF FORESTS
Why Men Who Know Are Protesting
Against the Destruction OF Our
National Resources.

The ruthless destruction of their
forests by the Chinese is. according
to foresters of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, one Of the
reasons why famine and plague today
hold this nation in their sinister grasp.
Denudation, wherever practiced,
leaves naked soil; floods and erosion
follow, and when the soil Is gone men
must also go-and the process does
not take long. Forests, 1t Is pointed
out, not only play an important part
In the distribution of mankind over
the earth's surface, but also deeply
affect his spiritual, physical, and eco
nOmic life. A country that recklessly
wastes It's natural resources faces ulti-
mate poverty and decadence. History
Is full Of such examples.
In the province Of Holman, Shensi.
and Chill, China, over an area some
100000 square miles In extent, several
million people are starving. The i'm
mediate causes Of the famine were
disastrous floods followed by long pc
RODS Of drought, which resulted in the
failure Of three successive crops.
