CONSERVATION AS
PUBLIC POLICY NOTED IN
FORESTER'S REPORT

That more people are looking to pub
lie agencies to take the lead in correct
ing long prevalent EMBELLISHMENTS in
the use of forest resources confront
ing communities, states, and the ma
ton, is the view of Robert Y. Stuart,
chief Of the forest service, in his annual
report to the secretary of agriculture,
made public recently.
A federal policy Of forestry has been
developing for almost go years says
Forester Stuart That the American
people are in favor Of forest conserva-
ton as public policy admits Of no
dispute. Extensive further forest de-
struction is held undesirable and in
furious to public welfare, and there
is strong popular desire not only to
have the present forests protected and
maintained but also to have the forests
restored where man has removed them
without subsequently putting the land
to other use"
The forester's report recommends
that certain forest areas in the public
domain should be handled as integral
parts of the national forests. Certain
areas of privately owned cumberland
within and adjacent to national forests
also should come under the same man
agement plan, through blocking ur
process already under way, though al
an inadequate rate, by means of land
exchange authorizations.
The report calls attention to i'm
provements in the fire-control organi-
zation of the national forests, and ex-
pansion protection for state and pri-
vate forest lands. Net acreage of the
national forests increased by 417,O64
acres; the national forest road system
was extended; primitive recreation
areas and experimental forests have
been authorized and partly organized;
and research conducted by the forest
service made number of important
contributions to forestry practice and
wood utilization during the year.

IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTION
TO THE SILVER CAUSE

SPOKANE-A letter from Senator
Borah, written to Walter j. Nichols,
president of the Standard Stock Ex-
change, in Spokane, was read at re-
cent meeting of the Northwest Min
ing Association in Spokane and was
considered by that group well in
formed in matters pertaining to the
silver situation and mining in general)
as one of the most important contri-
buttons recently made to the silver
cause.
The letter is as follows: 1T is graft
flying to note the growing interest
everywhere in what we choose to call
the silver problem, although / prefer
to regard it as phase of the worlds
great economic problem.
During the last few months, express
sions of interest in, this phase of our
economic situation have gone out from
the most conservative and best in
formed sources, and all to the effect
that silver should be restored to its
rightful place in our economic and fl
nancial affairs.
MY own feeling is that we must
before long stop droning about world
in chaos because of production
and turn our attention to the true

sary to draw on the public treasury to.
tax ourselves to build public build
ings and roads Thiy will, to some ex-
tent, dull the keep edge of depression.
But to do this ard propose to do moth
ing more is abdicating responsibility
and leadership and leaving the people
to their misery. Unless we can adopt
some program which will bring back
the purchasing power of some eight
hundred million people throughout the
world, we shall not. very soon, If ever,
be free from he-depression which we
are now experiencing.

out cause and without deep reason

few years cut in half the purchasing

tributing causes to our present de-
plorable situation. feel that it is COM

made to restore this metal to its right

LITTLE SUPPORT IS
GIVEN SUGGESTION
TOAbANDON COTTON
Seven Governors Voice Informal
DisapprovaI; Need 10 Of
~ to Carry Idea

Washington, Aug. 14.-(ReAban-
donment of the emergency cotton
Stabilization proposal seems certain
it the informal expressions Of dis
approval made by seven southern
governors on the farm boards crop
destruction plan are followed by
formal reflections.
Chairman Stone, In his telsgrauls
to IA governors urging acceptance of
the proposal to plow under one-third
of the standing crop to avert econ
omic disaster in that section, indicat-
ed that 10 out of II must agree.
The kilograms read:
If the ten largest cotton producing
states accept and carry out this pro-
gram, this board will do all in its
power to support the program and
will pledge itself to permit no sales
by the cotton stabilization corpora
ton of its present holdings before
July 1, 1882, and will urge upon the
cotton cooperatives financed by the
board the desirabihty Of similar &C.
ton by them on their stocks Of 1880
cotton now held"
Thus far only four replies have
been received at the boards offices.
One came from Governor Sterling Of
Texas pledging the support OF his
state. Another, from Governor Rus
sell Of Georgia, rejected the sugges-
ton. The other two replies were not
made available.
Chairman Stone said recently In
speaking of the low wheat prices that
the board would not undertake such
operations in that commodity, adding
that to do so would require millions
Of dollars which the boards treasury
could not spare.
In the cotton stabilixation opera
tions 1900, 900 bales Of the 1929 crop
were purchased. Last September the
board announced 1t would not auth
orize sales from that source at least
until July 81 OF this year. No new
policy has since been definitely an
nounced, except that 1t was agreed to
hold the cotton for another year II
the cotton destruction proposal Is
adopted.
Speculation today conferred upon
the likelihood Of . formal agreement
to retain this surplus cotton for an
other year even though the boards
emergency plan u rejected BY the
governors.
The destruction proposal was I'd.
