The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1928-04-27

\ years, under the Clarke-McNar
Law, the federal government ma
given it's support to the move
ment. This great cooperative en-
terprise must be extended an'
strengthened until every foresteC
county in the United States Is
safeguarded against forest fires.
But we are still far from the
goal of complete protection
Every year, on the average, So
600 fires scourge our woodlands
steadily undermining their vital
itv. For this bad situation, the
blame falls equally on us all. Pub
lie agencies rarely provide ade-
quate protection against fire, the
timberland owner is too often in
different to his property, the for
est worker is too often neglectful
of the future forest, the average
citizen is too often careless with
fire in the woods. We must all
gain such respect for the forest
that its destruction through indif-
ference or c~arelessness shall be
unthinkable."
Although the subject Of forestry
covers a wide field and the deYel-
opment of Americas forest resour-
ces presents many problems, the
principal ideas which will be en-
phasized next week are the pro-
lection of the forests from fire
and other causes of devastation,
and the need of reforestation and
sound timber management to re-
store and maintain in a produc-
tive condition the vast areas of
cut-over, burned-over, and idle
land which at present are making
no contribution to the wealth of
future timber supply of the coun-
try. The forest problem, it is de-
clared, touches practically all citi-
of the country, each of whom
can contribute to conservation and
forest development by a with
fire when he frequents the woods,
we'll as by lending intelligent
and understanding support to the
furtherance of better forestry con-
ditions locally and nationally.
