THE FORESTRY PROBLEM

1t is quite well understood tina
forestry is n of our national prob
lens. It's seriousness is pretty wei
recognized throughout the land. Def
mite movements are on loot to de
velop public opinion for a practical
sane, and productive program to re
store timber devastation and to in
sure to the future a reasonable suppl,
of lumber. The other necessities fol
forestation are not being lost sigh
OF, as the damages from floods an(
soil erosion make themselves clear tt
the naked eye. A timber denuded lani
is q lost land, unfit for habitation
cultivation, or the sustenance of AMI
NAL life. The problem must be at
tackled on a national scale. 1t is not
a regional or a sectional subject
Every part of the country must dc
its share. The first important need
is an intelligent conception OF the
magnitude Of the problem. The second
is the realization that labor, time and
money must be expended. The own

FRENCH'S HONORS EARNED
The Pend d'Orielle Review con-
cludes an editorial on Congressman
Burton L. French and his work at
Washington with the following:
Congressman French's honors are
but have been earned by careful,
painstaking and thorough work. He
Is prepared when the hour strikes.
And with all his ~commendable work
for the country at large he does not
forget the folks back home. There
is no task, however slight, that he
can accomplish for a constituent that
does not receive his immediate atten-
ton and his best efforts.
idaho takes a stronger and strong
pride in Congressman French and
as the years go on he grows in
strength and in the affections of a
constituency which he has served we'll
and which he means to continue to
serve with kindly thought and able
attention"
