Our Forests In Industry
By r. E. Wyman. Skowhegan)

(By II. f. Wyman. SkoWhegan)
The majority of US probably do not
really appreciate how vital a place
the forests of Maine occupy in its ag-
ricultural and industrial development
After some three centuries of deYel-
opment three quarters Of the total
area of Maine is today classed as for
est land while every year we cut more
eastern white pine than any other
state with the exception Of Minnesota
Yet this cannot continue to be true
unless our methods of forest protec-
ton are made more efficient and a
wide program OF reforestation is
adopted, by both the State and priv
ate owners.
At present it would seem that the
effectiveness of our forest protection
system could be increased in only enc
way-full public cooperation. Once
the support OF the public is behind
our forestry work it will become
much more far-reaching and benefi-
cial. Surely you cannot reasonably
refuse to put out your campfire? To
take proper precautions with fire in
the woods? TO put out your cigar
cites, pipe heels or matches? Is il
unreasonable to ask the public TO he
careful of its own property, for that
is what the forests actually are. d
public heritage? Yet little things
like these, acts OF thoughtfulness
rather than carelessness, would save
us hundreds and thousands of dollars
annually.
Already the output of our forest in
dustries has greatly Deprecated Ii
our forest lands were today produc-
ing to the full extent of their capacity
Maine would be much better develop
ed and far more prosperous, both
agriculturally and industrially, than
Is now the case. In addition we
would not be paying a freight bill of
thousands of dollars every year for
the importation Of yellow pine from
the south and Douglas fir from the
west, neither would we be paying
Canada a high embargo on nearly one
third of our paper which it has be
come necessary, because OF the in
creasing area Of ruined and unpro-
ductiye forest land, to obtain from
the Dominion.
IT Is lolly 10 grow tllaDer merely To
burn, it is equal folly to grow il TO
be wasted by ignorance and iudiffer-
ence, and it is even greater folly not
to grow it at all. Nowhere in daily
life is waste 50 conspicuous as in our
forests and forest industries In all
stages of manufacture woods,
the saw mill, the WOod-using factor
les, wherever wood is used-there is
waste, appalling in its aggregate. The
public mast be shown the vital i'm
portance Of better methods of pro-
Cecting forests and OF manufacturing
and using wood; it must be shown
that wood saved is equivalent to wood
grown; it must be shown how waste
may be curtailcd for high prices and
steadily growing scarcity Will soon
make economy Imperative. In short
the public must realize that our for
estry problem has become an indus
trial and financial problem OF vital
Importance to every one OF MS. and
that the sooner we all realize the fact
the better off we shall he.
Remember: BURNED FOREST )
