and carrying charges of the ac-
tivities recommended. For that
reason in calculating the burden
of flood control costs, these activi-
ties should not be listed as un-
avoidabe and irr,vocaIble expenses,
but rather as form of investment
which will return in good time
with a margin Of profit in each
other to the Treasury of the
United States or to it's tax paying
citizens. The fact that their costs
will be repaid in this way does not
lessen the value of such measures
in reducing flood hazard and dam
age. Upon the other hand, the
certainty that they will increase
the factor of safety for other flood
structures, and this largely as a
by-product TO other economic ben
efits, clearly desirable in them
selves, makes their inclusion in a
well planned program of flood
control all the more urgent and de-
sirable

a. Complete the purchase of
about 2,642,000 acres of protec-
ton forest lands in National For
est purchase units already APP
proved and established by the Ma
tional Forest Reservation Com
mission on the Mississippi water
shed, and purchase approximately
100000 acres more of protection
forest lands adjoining two exist
ing National Forests in Arkansas
and in fifteen other units on the
Mississippi drainage. Annual
cost, exclusive of units already ap-
proved, $5,900,000, and total cost
$29, 100000. Inclusive of forest
lands still to be acquired in COM
pleting units now approved under
the Weeks Law the total acreage
would be 8.542,000 acres, an
nuai cost S8,542,000, and total
cost $42,71O.000.

reserved public domain. No in
crease in appropriation.
6. Authorize Investigations of
HBadlands' and "The Break" as
a research project with a view to
discovering some method Of pre-
venting present serious erosion.
Appropriation required $4,000
per annum until problem is solved.
z. Adopt plan Of control of
public grazing lands recommended
by the Secretary of Agriculture
and the Secretary of Interior. Ex-
pense, nominal appropriation to
start; after starting activity will
be self-supporting from fees.
8. Empower the U. S. Geolog-
ical Survey to make the waterfowl
measurements and determination
of silt content necessary to show
from time to time whether pro-
gress is being made in checking
soil erosion.
Practically all of the measures
recommended as necessary steps in
the direction Of Mississippi flood
control have previously recon-
mended by the Department Of
Agriculture as desirable on &C
count of other economic benefits,
such as better timber supply, soil
conservation, improved agricultur-
al conditions, betternent of the
livestock industry and protection
of publicly owned grazing lands,
prevention of stream pollution
increasing opportunities for out
door recreation, and the protection
of game and fish.
'Tt can not be too strongly en-
phasized," concludes Mr.. Sherman
chat what is involved is a great
problem of land use. The meas
ures proposed are believed to be
essential to the ultimate effective
handling of the Mississippi River
and are necessary to its perma-
nent control. Not only that but
from them other beneficial re-
turns, such as the sale of timber
products, will repay the entire costs

protection forests are a public ne
cessity, says Mr.. Sherman.
"The private owner is interest
ed in using the forest to produce
revenue rather than public bene-
fits" he declares. "For this rea-
SON, public ownership has been
found to be the only practicable
means of securing the highest use
of forests where the protective
function is SO important that other
uses, such as grazing and timber
cutting, must be subordinated to
protection. Self-preservation re-
quires that the public step in and
acquire rough broken lands where
the destruction of forests or fail
ure to maintain good forest con-
ditions menaces interests for far
reaching Importance.
GAS a principle Of Government
it is desirable from a national
standpoint for cities, counties, and
States to shoulder this response
bility so far as they are able to
do so without undue hardship.
Along with this principle it has al
so been necessary to give due con-
sideration to the fact that the
community nearest a protection
forest is often not so vitality con-
cerned as others farther removed.
In such cases it would be unreas-
enable and unjust to expect the
taxpayer to finance an activity for
the primary purpose of benefiting
other regions. In some cases Fed
eral help seems to be the only
reasonable solution because of
large areas and heavy expense. +"
Outside of the national and
State forests where fire prevention
and watershed protection already
are being given attention, the for
est areas of the Mississippi Basin
are of two classes commercial
forests in private or corporate
ownership, and farm woodlands.
Common to all is the fire hazard
and injury which results from the
ravages of fire. Fires are in every
region reducing the water-storage
capacity of the privately owned
commercial forests, and freshet
runoff accompanied by unneces-
sary erosion result. ttNo matter
what other steps are proposed OF
special remedies suggested" says
Mr.. Sherman, defective fire con-
troll is needed in all the forest
regions on the Mississippi water
shed. 1t is the first step in de-
veloping the possibilities of forests
for flood prevention"
