said last night the Nation faces
shortages Of timber for lumber. pa

a report.
It declared destructive cutting
and unwise depletion" of present
timber supplies must be stopped and
new growth encouraged.
Strong Program Urged.
ITO do this the report said, "the
country must take strong steps to
bring all commercial forest land
under good management. In this
connection, the biggest problem is to
get satisfactory management on
privately owned forest land, which
comprises three -fourths, and in
general the best of the Nations
commercial timberland."
The Forest Service reported "a
per cert of the timber cutting on
privately owned land is poor or
destructive" % per cent fair and
only per cent good"
In contrast, ST per cent Of the
cutting on public land is classed
as good. while 80 per cent is judged
good in national forests.
More Growth Advocated.
The Forest Service advocates in
creasing the growth Of timber of all
type by so per cent and doubling the
growth of saw timber within IS
years.
To accomplish this. 1t said, the
Nation will need a forestry program
to put stop to destructive cut
