LA ExIsTENTE CARESTIA
DE MADEIRA

La siempre actual carestia de toda
clase de productos forestales en- Puer-
to Rico, es una demonstration palma
ria del problema que esta afrontan-
do la Division Forestai, en- ell cual
tendra que ser ella ell medic de solu-
cion. Esta carestia de productos de
MADEIRA es tan seria en- Puerto Rico
que la sienten todas las classes, pero
con especialidad las classes de medios
reduc dos moderados en- 10 que Sc
relaciona con la LEILA para combusti-
BILE y la MADEIRA barata para construc
cion. Los precios de los productos de
riadera que Sc importan vienen SUI
biendo constantemente es para nos
otros una prevention ell que inmedia-
tamente Sc tomen medidas adecuadas
a fin de remediar y balancear estes
malos efectos; 10 que Sc conseguira
mediante la siembra en- nuestros te-
rrenos baldios de algunas especies de
5rboles productores de MADEIRA. 81 ST.
quiera Sc dedicara la adecuada pro-
duccion de bosques una pequena par
te del actual terreno baldio de la isla,
este tenderia a aliviar ell general su-
frimiento de las classes pobres, CORE
giria una calamitosa condici6n econ6-
mica y de la manera mas positiva pro-
mcveria ell bienestar general, la ri
que9a v la prosperidad del pals.
Los BOSQUES CoNSERvAN LA
FERTILIDAD DEL TERRENo
A menudo oimos decir que la con-
servaci6n del terreno no solamente i'm
piica ell uso adecuado de los terrenos
,agricolas sino ell de todos nuestros te-
rrenos. Y siendo este asi seria bueno
indicar; que esta Isla contiene una vas
IA extension de terreno, actualmente
baldio improductivo, e inadecuado
para el cultivo de cosechas agricolas
repetidas mo es acaso importante,
desde Ell pu1to de vista econ6mico, que
estos terrenos baldios improductivos
Sc hagan producer y Sc mantengan
siempre en- 1condicion produetiva? Ellos
ocupan un espacio por Ell cual deben
pagar. Mediante la siembra de plan
tones de arboles forestales no solo re-
ducimos nosotros ell terreno baldio Y
10 volvemos condicion productiva,
sino que de este modo preparedness una
fut,ra provision de MADEIRA. Ell asun-
to de la futpra provision de MADEIRA ha
llegado hacerse muy importante y
es ell deber de nuestro pals mirar por
su b;enestar en- este en- otros res

LOS BoSoURs SON DE TMPoRTAN-
CIA PARA LAS MUNTcIPA-
~ LIDADES ~
La siembra de arboles ademas de
ser importante para el pals en- gene
raj para ell terrateniente individual,
es tambien de grandisima importan-
cia para los habitantes de los puebies
y ciudades de la isla. Seria conve-
niente hacer constar aquf que la
repoblaci6n forestal de las vertientes
de Puerto Rico reduciria grandemente
ell peligro de otra carestia de aqua.
Donde haya bosques rara vez habra
desbordamientos Los terrenos de bos-
Ques son depositos naturales que reco-
gen retienen la lluvia para distri-
buirla gradualmente durante ell afio.
En- epoca de fuertes lluvias durante
la estaci6n lluviosa ell bosque tiende
a absorber Ell aqua que cae y la de-
vueive mego en- manantiales o c6rrien-
tes durante la estaci6n SEGA. Estos
resultados son muy ventajosos y pue-
den alcanzarse mediante la siembra y
mantenimiento de una cubierta fores-

fuente proveedora de aqua de nuestros

yectos del riego interesarlos en- Ell ira
bajo de repoblaci6n forestal porque con
la repoblacion de los miles de acres
de terrenos adecuados solamente para
la siembra de arboles, vendria ese otro
beneficio tan altamente necesitado en-
Puerto Rico-la retenci6n de los des-
bordamientos de nuestras corrientes
huviales y la subsiguiente uniforme
distribution de la provision de aqua.
Es nuestro deber restituir los bosques
que retienen las aguas. Todo ciudada-
