Flood Control Requires Rational Land Use
Saws Chief of u. S. Forest Service Greeley

forests have no bearing upon stream
flow.
Speaking Of what could be done
to bring the protecting and conserv-
ing influence of forests to bear most
effectively upon the Mississippi
floods, Colonel Greeley said:
Every forest fire in the Missis
Sippi basin tends, sooner or later,
to augment flood conditions. Every
abandoned or neglected piece of
poor hillside farm land has the same
tendency. Destructive numbering or
overgrazing, which leaves naked
soil behind them, are sure to con
tribute, at one time or another, to
some flood crest. Some of these
conditions can only be remedied by
the type of educational extension in
agriculture and forestry now being
conducted by most of the states in
cooperation with the federal de-
partment of agriculture.
''In the main, the existing federal
laws are adequate. We have a law
under which the national govern
mcnt cO-operateS with any state in
the systematic protection of fOreSted
and dcnudcd areas from fire. The
law is all right; but we need more
actual protection under its terms.
1--WE have law under which the
national government co-operates
with any state in promoting tree
planting on farms, by furnishing
the planting stock. This is precisely
what is necded-for flood control
on large acreage Of abandoned or
worn out hill land in the Mississippi
basin. The law is sound; but we
need d great deal more timber plant
ing under its terms.
I'VE have laws under whicn ma
tiOna forests may be created any
where on the drainage of naviga-
BILE I1ver. These laws are adequate.
The government has established and
is extending national forests on sew
eral watersheds within the Missis-
sippi basn. But we need many
more of them. And we also need
many more of them. And we also
new many more state forests to Sup
plcment these in national owner
ship They will pay good dividends
in timber growth and forest indus
tries, aside from their benefits 10
flood control. But public forest
ownership is particularly urgent
and warranted on critical areas of
denuded or eroding lands which are
sources of destructive floods.
Forestry is simply a form of
every day land use. 1t can not be
considered apart from other forms
of land use which also afofrd ma
tural and simple ways of bettering
water storage and reducing erosion
in the Mississippi basin. Undoubt-
edly, the drainage areas above the
flooded regions are suffering today
from the loss of an enormous area
OF mellow, permeable top soil

such as failure to build terraces and
overgrazing the land.
LET us see the picture in its true
proportions. As checks upon big
floods, forestry and its allied forms
of natural storage takes secondary
place. They belong 'upstage.' Inn
mediate relief must be sought
through the skill of the engineer.
But behind and supplementing the
levces or other structures that must
be built, we get back to- the land.
And we should not fail TO restore.

elements in flood control, including
reforestation and the maintenance
of protective forests cover on
watersheds, bring us down to the
bed rock of rational use of land,
saws Col. William B. Greeley, chief
of the forest service, United States
department of agriculture.
No changes in our use of the land
surface can prevent large floods
when exceptionally heavy rains oc-
cur. The primary control of large
floods rests with the engineer. But
the productive use of land, aside
from insuring such public benefits
as timber supply, conservation of
forage, the saving of soil fertility,
and the preservation of wild life,
in the amelioration of flood
conditions.
I'm statement before the recent
Mississippi Flood Control confer
encc at Chicago, Colonel Greeley
urged that in the study of flood con-
troll measures on the Mississippi a
survey be made of the foreSted. de-
nuded, and abandoned farm lands in
the basin. This survey, ne said,
should SET forth the areas where
more complete protection from for
est fires is needed; where extensive
tree planting should be done; and
where public forest ownership,
either state or federal, is necessary
! to flood control. Based upon the
survey he would have specific
recommendation made for the
guidance of federal agencies in ad-
ministering the present forestry
laws, for additional legislation if
operative share to be assumed by the
several states in attaining the ends
sought
"The Mississippi basin contains
about S9,0U0,O00 acres of foreSted or
denuded land which has little or no
utility except in growing timber"
said Colonel Greeley. "No one can
assert that the condition of this vast
land surface, or the degree of care
or of neglect which it receives, has
no bearing upon the flow of the Mis-
sissippi river.
"Any benefits derived from refor-
/ eStation cannot be secured over
night. They will come about only
through long space of time. Hence
forests cannot be substituted for the
engineering structures upon which
our main reliance must be placed
for controlling heavy flood dis
charges. They can supplement dams
or levccs, but cannot take their
place"
The role of forests is important
as an influence in the behavior OF
streams, Colonel Greeley said. For
isis cause a more gradual melting
of snow, since they moderate both
extremes of temperature. The soil
freezes less rapidly under forests
than in open spaces. Hence in The
colder regions forest soils are kepI
more mellow and better able to alb
sorb water released during the firSi
warm days of spring. Forests re-
duce erosion. The thick mulch OF
leaf litter and the humuS from il
constantly fed into the soil increases
its absorbing power, while the mass
of tree and shrub roots have ar
enormous binding power.
The character of the soil and
topography must also be considered
he said. in gauging the actual effect
of forests upon erosion. The
streams of the northern lake states
for example, largely drain poru'
soils containing much sand anc
gravel, with a high humus content
thanks to the stands of pine, spruce
Washington telegraph., 1927-07-01


them. Their drainage basins con-
tain much lake and swamp storage
and receive a heavy snowfall. These
factors tend to keep them clear.
Hence the Mississippi river above st.
Paul, with a basin of 1885 square
miles, carries a yearly silt discharge
of only 117,000 tons.
The Tennessee river, on the other
hand. with a catchment area less
than twice as great, carries an an
nual silt burden of 100000 tons.
The Appalachian region which it
trains has light snowfall and ir-
regular and often concentrated
rains. I'll is made up largely of shall
low and heavy compact soils which
easily erode. On such basins forests
exert their maximum influence in
Producing erosion. And that is true
of the Tennessee, says Colonel
Greeley, applies equally to many of
the middle and lower tributaries of
the Mississippi which drain the APP
palachian and Ozark regions and
the lower hills around them.
The western tributaries of the Mis-
SiSSippi gather in from the plains an
enormous volume of silt, causing
channel bars, meandering currents,
and constant underwriting of the
banks. The Missouri river, above
Ruegg, Missouri, for example, car
ries yearly load of 176,000,000 tons
of silt.
THE actual effect of the less of
forest or brush cover upon erosion"
said Colonel Greeley, has been
demonstrated at many points. The
sullying of abandoned fields and of
logged off and burned-out wood
lands IN the slopes of the Appala-
chians has been striking. So was
,hc washing of soil from the forest
ed areas killed out years ago by the
Ducktown Smelter fumes.
"Our main interest here, in The
value of forests for reducing silt
discharge into the Mississippi river,
lies in the enormous area of easily
crodcd soils on the tributary streams
from the Appalachian plateau, the
Ozark plateau and the great plains.
The cumulative effects Of such ero-
sion add enormously to the flood
problem. Among them are its cut
ting action upon banks and chan
nclS, the shifting of currents to new
courses, and the gradual building
up of the river bed in its lower
reaches which slowly reduces the
effectiveness of levces.
Aside from slowing up the melt
ing of snow and reducing erosion
forests do, in some measure, create
a surface reservoir that holds back
part of the rain and feeds it into the
streams more slowly. The trees
and bushes themselves intercept
some of the rain and delay its prog
resS to the earth. The mat Of litter
found under thrifty. unburned for
eSts, sometimes only few inches
deep, sometimes foot or more, acts
Ike a sponge. II absorbS water I'M
til il can hold no more. The water
absorbing capacity of the soil itself
is greatly increased by the constant
accretionS of decaying humuS. And
innumerable little drainage tubes in
to the subsoil are formed by the
roots of trees and brush"
The chief forester emphasized that
rational view should be taken OF
the relation of forests to floods
THE first thing needed in trying to
stop floods by tree growth" he said
"is to drop all cXaggcrations about
it," 1t is not true, he said, that Sc.
