TOMORROW winds up the seven days
l. that were set aside by President Cool
idge's proclamation as American Forest
week
But tomorrow should be only the begin
ming of permanent campaign of care to
save our forests, For we, in Washington,
the forests mean more than they do TO
the ordinary American.
Ii is up to us to protect our forests
from fire and from humiliation, because
to l25,000 of us directly. and TO untold
thousands of others indirectly, the trees
furnish living
The state contains total area of ~, 000,-
600 acres; l6,000,0 600 acres lie west of the
Cascades. About 100000 acres west of
the mountains are still covered with
heavy stand of timber, the remainder. or
100000 acres, consists of cultivated,
burned-over. cut-over and barren land.
On the 100000 acres of timber land
there is at the present time approximately
go, 000,0 900 feet of standing timber.
This timber is being cut and burned at
the rate of approximately 100000 feet
annually. The cutting, saving, manufac-
turing and marketing of this timber is
the largest industry in the state.
Ii is the lumber industry that is respon-
sible for our prosperity. The dollars made
in this industry find their way to the
pockets of the laboring man and every
industry in the state; therefore, it is essen
tial that every citizen do everything he
or she can TO protect the source of the
raw material that will keep the lumber
industry going.
The chief obstacle in the way of main
tanning our lumber industry is forest fires.
If we keep fires out of the forests nature
will do the rest.
The United States forest service, the
state forest service and the Washington
Forest Fire association are doing every
thing they can to prevent and suppress
forest fires, but, on account of the rapidly
increasing population and the increasing
facilities for people to get out into the
timbered regions, il is impossible for the
several fire prevention organizations to
cope with the fire situation unless they
have the strenuous cooperation of every
citizen.
Keeping fires out of our forests not
only promotes the lumber industry, which
