home sites. BY saving the timber the
State made the land more valuable
| than it would have been had it sole
| the timber and permitted it to be log
ged off. Tourists are impressed by the
beautiful groves to be found all along
the highways as they pass through
the agricultural districts of Minnesota
and even those sections where there
are few lakes, are made attractive by
the presence of trees.
The establishment of woodlots
should be practiced in those parts OF
the State where forests do not grow
naturally, because in addition to pro-
lection against sun and storm, and be-
sides identifying the landscape they
help to retain needed moisture and
solve the fuel problem. They also
help in the building problem as many
farmers are now using native lumber
for barns and other buildings.
Conservation of forests does not
mean the cutting of timber should not
be permitted. Forests, like grain, grass
or potatoes should be considered a
crop. Trees are constantly maturing.
Younger trees are fighting for space to
grow. The proper scientific method to
perpetuate the forest is to cut the
mature trees and let the younger ones
grow. In this way the forest will al
ways be producing something in the
way of revenue and it will always be
healthy growing woodland Perhaps
the most piteouS sight that can come
to the attention of a true conserva-
ZIONIST is to see woodland devastated
by fire, blackened stumps standing out
lined against the sky with the younger
growth burned out by the roots, but
it is not much worse than the forest
that has been permitted to mature, its
trees die, to stand gaunt, ugly, or to
become a tumbled-down tangled fire
trap, dangerous and unsightly.
The Ten Thousand Lakes Associa-
ton is interested in the forests be-
cause of their value in attracting sum-
mer visitors, but it's interest does not
end there Primarily it is interested
in anything that will build and de-
velop Minnesota and therefore wants
to see the forests utilized in the most
practicable manner. Minnesota has
thousands of acres that can be made
valuable by forest development not
only as summer Fairgrounds, but in
the production of timber for COM
mercial USE Thousands of acres in
Minnesota are ideally suited to the
growing of timber, and will reforeSt
themselves if protected against fire.
I believe that everything possible
should be done to encourage the prop
er development of these lands, which
would mean that forest lands should
be given every protection against fire;
that selective scientific cutting should
be practiced to get the maximum
revenue from products and keep the
forests growing and green. Thus
Minnesota would not only assure her
own citizens and those of other states
who spend their summer here that her
woodlands would be kept beautiful,
but would also perpetuate an industry
that would bring millions of dollars
annually through attracting the tourist
and the marketing of forest products.

Looking Ahead on Our
Fire Problems from
Past Experience.
BY. G. M. Comet, Commissioner of
, Forestry and Fire Prevention.

Large devastating forest fires which
have taken their heavy toll Of human
lives and their millions in property
and wild life, are not all of the past
but they have their ever existing pos
sibilities, the most recent one. being
only ten years ago. To bring about a
solution of a problem as vital and
necessary as the forestry need in our
State. an extensive educational pro-
gram must be carried out, Much OF
it will be brought about in our. public
schools and thru the press, Until the
citizens of the State and. the users of
the forests are awakened to its seri-
BUSINESS, forest fire. problems win, never
be solved
With our, forest and grass fires
burning over two and ne-han per
cent, of our forest lands annually, a
new crop can never be grown or har-
vested. 1t will, be necessary to, not
develop better methods of prevention
and more effective methods of sup
preston but we must make our for
ests more f1reproof,s We cannot grow
asbestos trees, so the next best. will be
preventive methods. All roads,, trails
and portages in the woods must be
clean and free from combustible ma.
rterial, Forests should be kept in as
large blocks as possible. and not extern
eively opened up to sunlight and wind.
Burned areas must be Immediately re-
forested to prevent growth of grass
and weeds, as they are a much higher
fire hazard than small growing trees
The most inflamable species. of trees
in forest must be removed or dis
couraged. Fortunately the most val,
liable species for commercial purposes.
are more fire resistent and less haz-
ardous types. Mixed types are de-
sirable in that they will be more re-
sistent to disease and epidemics which
are apt to cause large areas to die and
become hazardous. The most practi-
cal culture to bring about these desir-
ed conditions is the rigid system of
selective and partial cutting of all of
our forests, both publicly and private
ly owned. On account Of their capital
investments and tax problems and the
large number of ownerships and scat
tered holdings proper selective cut
tings viii come slowly in private hold
ings There is. however, no reason
why State and other public forests
should not be put under such manage
ment at this, time. 1t would not only
reduce the fire. hazard and aid in the
fire protection work but 1t would be
the most logical and the. most practi-
cal method Of preserving and making
more productive Minnesota's forests.
The ranger system of forest, pro-,
lection, with trained and skilled men,
will always remain as the backbone or
the skeleton force; but no State For
estry Department, nor any other. for
estry organization, can ever bring
about the desired results. without q
whole hearted public support. The
forest rangers can only be expected to
act as organizers and leaders in the. j
work. Every private citizen must en-
list himself in this future army or for
est protectors. The preventing Of
these forest fires Is OF first Importance,
