. EFORESTATION gives q not altogether
~ accurate impression OF the work to be carried
on in the reforestation camps this Summer In
reality, reforestationsis only one part CT four
part program.
Intended primarily a relief measure to put
some $50. 900 unemployed men to work, 1t serves
to focus attention on the need for conservation
of one of Americas fast dwindling essential
resources. the huge forests which have been
ravaged by fire and by careless woodsmen.
Reforestation, Of course implies a replanting
of cut-over or burned-over areas, but benefits
to be derived from this part of the work must
necessarily be long delayed. for timber, under
the best Of conditions, cannot be cut before 20
years from new paintings and 80 years Is
more likely period.
Three other angles Of the work are Of more
immediate benefit for they are aimed at pres
ervation Of what now exists. The existing
forests are to be protected from fire. Heavy
growths Of underbr1sh are to be eliminated and
forest diseases and insect enemies are to be
combated.
An allied problem, erosion also is TO be at
tackled.
The elimination Of underbrush and the thin
ming Of young second growth are Of prime i'm
portance. The underbrush brings q real threat
in case Of fire for q forest confiagraticn, once

Last year more than 500, 900 tons of the

It serves not only to stimulate the lawn, but
to discourage the growth Of weeds. The De-

the invalid is obsessed by fear of
