Committee Recommends Increase of
Rate of Timber Production on
Suitable Land,
FURTHER PURCHASES ASKED
Co-Operation With States in Pro-
tectioH Is Sought.

The immediate aim of the fores.
policy of the United States should be
to increase as rapidly as possible the
rate at which timbersis produced or
land suited to this use, the Senate re-
forestation committee said in it's re-
port submitted yesterday by the Senate
The committee held that the main
lines OF attack in accomplishing this
purpose should be:
To extend public forest ownership
in areas where special public inter
ests or responsibilities are involved,
like the protection of navigable
rivers. and also where the natural
difficulties. costs and hazards attend
ing reforestation render 1t impracti-
cable or remote as private under
taking
To remove the risks and handicaps
from private timber growing as far
as practicable. In order to give the
greatest possible incentive to COM
mercial reforestation. -
Completion OF the federal purchases
Of forest lands, contemplated by the
Weeks law for the protection of the
watersheds OF navigable streams. also
was recommended. together with leg
islation authorizing acceptance. under
CeTIAlH circumstances. Oh u OF
bequests OF forest lands from private
owners.
Cooperate in Protection.
To encourage private reforestation
the committee recommended co-opera-
tion with the states In fire protection
on a fifty fifty basis of costs. and also
an adjustment of the methods of tax
ing forest-growing lands so as to
avoid an undue burden OF current
taxation while forests are growing.
Senator's Moses, New Hampshire
| and Couzens. Michigan. in supple
mental report recommended revi-
sion of the federal income tax Law
which will authorize the deduction
from taxable incomes of any and al
expenditures incurred to protect, i'm.
prove or renew existing timber OF
forest growth or to establish new
timber crops.
