takingly. He masters present diff
culties and prepares for future handi-
caps. Then he goes into action and
puts into execution his plans.
What about these national forests
which Col. Greeley manages? They
are the finest public Fairgrounds and
recreation centers on the globe.
Eleven million campers, tourists and
vacationers spent their Summer holi-
days in the Federal forests during
the last outing season. Nine million
of these visitors came in privately
owned automobiles. Many of them
pitched their tents at some Of the
1900 tourist camps which Uncle Sam
maintains in his expansive woodlands.
Fifteen million head of live stock
annually Craze. in the national for
ests, as a result of special permits
which the Government issues to
thousands Of ranchers and stockmen.
Mature timber in the woodlands
which is ripe for cutting is felled
and marketed Last year $5,500,000
was turned into the United States,
Treasury at Washington as income
from these national forests.
In addition to reserving camp sites
and community centers for the use
of the general public in his great
WoOuldHOS, CHCle CdIi alSO hehS set
aside many wooded areas as scenic
bowers for the recreation and delight
of tourists and residents of neigh
boring cities. Thus most Of the main
travelled highways through the ma
tional forests are lined with beau
tiful trees and foliage. Such tracts
as the Columbia River Gorge, the
Cottonwood Canyon, the Wasatch
Mountains, certain lakes and forests
around Mount Hood and portions of
the Angeles National Forest have been
reserved for the exclusive use of
campers and vacationers.
The watersheds of all the important
Western States rivers and streams
are in the national forests. Col.
Greeley and his assistants maintain
these areas free of all contamination,
so that the waters may be used for
drinking purposes in more than 1000
towns and cities. Vast irrigation
projects are dependent for moisture
on the water that flows to them from
the highlands of the Federal forests.
The Government representatives pre-
serve these water supply sources for
that express purpose.
In various districts wild game sane
tuaries are maintained in these tim
beriands, where wild life can multiply
in peace and contentment. The graz
ing OF live stock in certain districts
is restricted vigorously, in order that
the wild animals may have adequate
forage Supplies.

the course of time came to revere
the treeland empire. The courage,
resourcefulness and persistency of
every generation of Americans date
back. to the forests, which have
taught lessons never to be forgotten
1t is really remarkable, in view of
all that the forests have done for the
United States and what these verdant
zones of growing tree crops have
meant to America, how penurious
Congress has been in its apportion-
ment of national funds for the de-
velopment of recreational facilities
in the big woods which every citizen
of this country might enjoy.
Although recreation in the national
forests 'just grew" it must now be
taken care Of. Only $50, 900 has been ap-
propriated for such forestry uses in
the last three years, and one-half of
this was appropriated in 1924. This
increase in funds is not commensu-
rate with the increase in the campers
and tourists who have used the for
ests since the automobile has be-
come a common vehicle.
In 1929 only 100000 people Wis
tied our Federal woodlands for rec
reation. During 1924 the number in
creased more than 81 per cent, to
100000. The indications are that
the increase of next year will be even
greater, as during 1924 many of the
California forests had to be closed
to tourists for several months on ac-
count of the dangers from destructive
forest fires.
What the Federal aid has done for
national highways the Clark e-Mc-
Nary forestry bill. passed during the
closing days of the last Congress, will
do for American forestry.
The new laws most important
feature Col. Greeley told me, is its
recognition Of the need for forestry

in everyday land use and its aid
to private timber growing.
Its purpose is to establish a ma
tional forestry policy for the United
States. the immediate aim Of which
is to increase as rapidly as possible
1.-THE rate of timber production on all
land suitable for. such use. 1t seeks
to extend tree cropping by making
forestry a part of our agricultural
practice and an enterprise in which
the lunlberman, papermaker and
other commercial owners of forestry
land will freely. engage.
THE law provides for the extern
sion of national forest ownership and
extends the financial assistance which
Uncle Sam can give to State and
county agencies in the esta biishment
and maintenance of local forests. 1t
empowers the Secretary of Agricul-
ture to accept gifts of lands vslu-
able for forestry. 1t also permits
him to accept gifts OF lands valuable
for forestry. 1t also permits him to
select appropriate areas of the. 5,000,-
900 to 100000 acres of vacant
public land for potential forestry de-
velopment."

THE present keynote of the ma
tional forest administration, un-
der the supervision of Col. Greeley,
is service. The object aimed at is
the best use of the many resources
of the forests IN the interest of public
welfare. Most of the forests are in
the mountainous regions where the
preservation of tree growth is most
important. From the hardwoods of
the southern AppalachianS to the

Washingtonians, at the first glance,
may imagine that q vacation trip in

side of their available province. They
visualize such holidays as vacations
in the White Mountains, the Pfsgah

and as sojourns in the many and
beautiful forests and highland en-
pires of the Far West. Nevertheless,
only half-days ride from the White

which goes to make the modern
wilderness joy forever. 80
Fifteen thousand autopobile parties
visited the PisgahN National Forest
near Asheville, N. c., during the last
camping season. There is no reason
why the Shenandoah Forest should
not be used on a much larger scale
by the residents Of Washington and
nearby Virginia and Maryland. 1t is

Forest is destined to develop into one
Of greatest recreatlonal Fairgrounds

Before the war some of them
and a good many French women
lived fairly well on dollar day in
Paris. What can a dollar do for them
now that prices have gone skyward?
And what can it do for the Ameri-
can who is trying to see Paris?

There are now three public camp
grounds in the forest. free to all.

The use Of portion of the Shenan-
lloah National Forest as a. wild game
sanctuary would be worth while If
Congress would but turn q favorable
ear to such a suggestion. Once the
highlands and woods of Virginia
teemed with small game and wild
life. Overshooting has exterminated
much of this wild life. The same
system which is operative in the
Pisgah National Forest, where a
Government game reserve is main
tanned, might also we'll be applied to
the Shenandoah timberlands.
