b.g woods can take care of them
selves:
The advance Of civilization has
lessened the ability of the forest to
tight its own battles. Man IN his
planting and pushing into the
wiids has spread tree pests from
one region to another and imported
kinds never known before: In
turning over the soil he has set
free wide-range agencies Of de-

healthy growth in his garden.
While he has made the forest his

otherwise they would never have

But there is a growing realization
that many of them are superfluous
and many of them take larger
toll of the stuff passing through
their hands than their service to the
community justifies. Accordingly
the movement for direct relations
between producer and consumer is
bound to grow and steadily restrict
