Wyoming Forests
of Immense Value
Preservation of FOrested Areas Means
a Great Deal to All Other In =,
dustries of the State. -

The attention Of the nation, the sev-
eral states and particularly this com
munity has been directed to the need
of forest protection by the recent proc
lamation of President Harding desig-
mating the period of May % to May IS
as Forest Protection Week.
The Medicine Bow and Hayden Ma
tional forests located in the counties
of Albany and Carbon in southern Wyo-
ming, contain "A million acres of tim
Der lands. with timber valued at the
present time at five millions of dollars
and when manufactured into timber
products, valued at ten times more as
material for buildings and for the in
dustrial uses of this region.
The protection of the foreSted re-
gion is necessary for the welfare of the
state and this community. Formerly

water could be %impounded or used in
irrigation. With the growing scarcity
of timber In the eastern United States,
the attention of the public has been
drawn to the value of the timber in
the mountain states and the demisld
for railroad ties, lumber and other pro-
ducts has resulted in large logging
operations within the National forests
of southern Wyoming. There opera
tons are controlled by the Government
through the removal of only n partial
amount of the timber that the forest
cover is preserved and the forests CON
