In issuing his proclamation the Presl dent suggested that the question, agricultural one of the' most acute national prob V iems of the present time, might be solved to some extent if poor farm lands were converted into forests. "One-fourtof our soil,", the said, "is better suited to timber growing than anything else. I cannot escape the conviction that our indus trial and agricultural stability will be strengthened by bringing into full productive use this great empire of land. "Although much progress has been made in public forestry and hopeful beginnings in private industry, we still have a vast aggregate of idle or semi-Idl- e forest Innd, and another large aggregate of poor farm land that might more profitably grow timber instead of adding to the problem of agricultural overproduction.

This American Forest week committee, which Is affiliated with almost one hundred of the principal associa tions in the United .States, is making elaborate plans for the stressing of the Importance of this week to everyState chairmen one In the country. and state committees have been appointed from the most influential men in each state.

Due to the fact that over 80 per cent of nil the forest fires are man caused, the greatest step in preventing the tremendous loss from this cause will be In teaching the public the necessity of the greatest care in the use of fire whether in camp flrs, cigarettes or cigars, both when on the road and when camping. One of the lending organizations In the celebration of this week Is the American Tree association, headed by Charles Lathrop Pack, a pioneer In the campaign to save our vanishing forests. One of the efforts of the association for observance of American Forest week Is In urging all Americans to "plant a Centennial tree and register it with the American Tree association so that your name will be on the honor roll of tree planters and good citizens 50 years from now." The association wants to see thousands of trees planted and marked so that the Centennial of Arbor day, started in 1872, by J. Sterling Morton, will see the greatest celebration ever held In this country. The association will send to each tree planter a certificate of membership, advice of experts as to the care of trees, and other educational data having to do with planting "Roads of Remembrances," memorial trees, memorial parks, town forests, and kindred subjects. "The American Tree association alms to make this country a nation of tree planters," says Mr. Pack, in mak"The people ing the announcement. of this country must see the value After of trees and tree planting. planting Individual trees themselves, they will come to see the value of town forests and town wood lots. "We aim to make every tree planfr a member of one big organization, the object of which Is to plant, more trees. w that there will be In the years to come, n great Intelligent nrtny of tree planters who will be able the better to realize and understand the great to do with the Cfre questions havf-nand protect Inf. of one of our greatest natural resources."
