Timber still standing amounts to 745,000,000,000 cubic feet ; the annual cut Is 25.000.- 000.000 cubic feet; the annual growth Is cubic feet. Of the original forest 0,000,000,000 and in bulk of timber there Is left In area In the states comprising the less than Kooky Mountain and Pacific Coast regions are 75 per cent of the virgin growth and 00 per cent of all the usable wood. The East nnd Middle West are supplied by the South and West, with a respective avPrage haul of 1,200 and 2,750 miles. The freight bill is between $350 ,000, 000 and $500,000,000 yearly. Excessive profits have forced prices of proportion. A decrease In per capita consumption has second-growt- third-growt- h national forests, that means a loss of more than 000,000 acres. The forester has also said that In the four years previous to 1924 s of 1 per the average area burned was cent more than 300,000 acres. Yet the forest service spent In 1924 $1,250,000 for fire prevention and detection, and $079,000 for fire suppression. Incidentally the forest service claims to have over 10,000,000 visitors a year In the national forests and the report says: The growing use of cigarettes has created one of the most serious problems of forest protection. Much stress Is laid upon the development of the farmers woodlots, said to total 191,000.000 acres. Only a complete revolution in their use will make them a factor In the general situation, since apparently three-fourth-s of them are being grazed. Grazed woodlots do not reproduce themselves; they are doomed to extinction. More than ten million people are supported by the forests, their products and the handling Industry. Investments total more than $12,000,000,000. s The waste In handling Is enormous. Nearly of the volume of timber is lost The select committee on reforestation of the - United States senate, appointed with a view to establishing a comprehensive national policy for' lands chiefly suited for timber production In order to Insure a perpetual supply of timber for use and necessities of citizens of the United States, made n nation-wid- e survey In 1923, with twenty-fou- r hearings In sixteen states. Its report, made January 10, 1924, formed the basis of the McNary- Clarke act of June 0, 1924. At a hearing In Boston September 2?, 1923, appeared Samuel T.

The people in many parts of the country have passed the Plant a Tree stage and arrived Plant a Forest at the stage, thanks to the activities of the American Tree association, the General the American Nature association, Federation of Womens Clubs and other nationwide organizations ; the Town Forest movement has taken hold In the East and Is spreading. High prices are forcing the application by Industries of scientific principles In the handling of wood from cutting to use. Forest owners are being forced Into reforestation in act Is being vigorously The new McNary-Clark- e discussed everywhere. Some think It pitifully Inadequate; they say It. merely amounts to a tentative proposal by the federal government to go fifty-fiftwith the states on fire protection, ultimately to the extent of $2,500,000 a year If the states qualify and congress appropriates Its share. Even Its supporters would supplement it with a new act appropriating $40,000,000 In a period of tea years for the extension of the national forests, largely In the East. This proposal Is anathema to those who challenge the efficiency of the forest service, charging financial loss, poor fire protection and lack of Interest In reforestation! Western livestock men have made charges of poor management "liglilnst the forest service in connection with gra lng In the national forests. Various committees and commissions represent lng congress and other organizations have been making Investigations this summer of all sorts oi questions In connection with the public domain nnd national reservations. There will presumably be much reporting and debating In the coming congress. Out of all these activities, national, state nnd local, should come much useful Information on the forestry situation and larger understanding by the people. One thing certainly seems to be essential to saving the forests: A definite comprehensive national forestry policy administered by the federal government which alone has the authority and the financial resource's. Not much dependence, It would seem; can be placed upon the states. Only 83 of them have forestry departments. Only 19 have state . forests. Only 16 maintain stati nurseries. State forestry appropriations total only nbout $5,500,000 yearly. Moreover, under our present system, we have department policies, state policies, bureau policies, board policies, coramls-siopolicies. No wonder we make little real prog, ress with such a Junble of conflicting policies. It is of course unthinkable that the American people, the richest In the world and Industrially the most efficient shall allow America to become a treeless nation. And we cannot sit still and trust to Piovldence. least y n |
