This is your favdrlto newspaper news-paper or magazine. David Franklin Houston, the Secretary of Agriculture, ami a vice-president of the American Ameri-can Forestry Association,' says that in 1917 six thousand tons of newsprint wero being used EVERY DAY. He pointed out that this was being Increased In-creased about ten per cent every year, Ho could not of course,, take Into account ac-count the demands of the war for pa per. The government enlarged and I added new- departments over nighty That meant letter writing. Secretary Houston calls attention to tho fact that it takes three million cords of' pulpwood to supply nows.1 print for the presses every year. Then it takes four million more cords to supply magazines and business requirements. re-quirements. The supply has always been dangerously near the estimated requirements and at that the United States depends upon Canada for a third of Its newsprint paper. The pressure of economic conditions, Secretary Sec-retary Houston ndds and the lack of foresight in cutting forests have so depleted the available private supply of pulpwoods that there Is not enough left to last more than ten or fifteen years. On this point the Secretary says: "Changes In Canadian policy might at any time cut off our ne.ws-papors ne.ws-papors from this source of supply or -' - -. . ' t make It available only at excessive I cost. On the other hand our own forest for-est resources aro ample to meet all paper requirements of the country." , Problems of reconstruction mean ' that there must still be a great saving all along tho line to catch up with war's drain on tho resources' of the country. Great reconstruction plans mean -wood- The War Industries In-dustries Board through its Paper, EoiomyScjcjionisst nerve to get the pcoplo to save paper.

He points out what a big saving this would mean in paper 1 ypar. It would' also cut down filing to a great extent. The American Forestry Association is doing this and the plan is being tried out now by many business busi-ness houses who find it docs' free their tiles to a great extent and will savo thousands of pounds of paper ocry year. Fine Work of Forest Regiments. "The work of the Forest Regiments In the war." says Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the American Forestry For-estry Association, "has been of untold value to -victory. Their' work has done wonders In calling attention of the world to Forestry. An idea of the scope of the work Is seen in this letter let-ter from Mr. Dickson, of the Dominion Domin-ion Forest Service. 'After training all summer on the guns, siege artil-lcry, artil-lcry, I was lately transferred to this corps at the request of the general in charge. Have been. here for less than a week at the Forestry Corps headquarters head-quarters getting wise to tho ropes, their methods of estimating timber, and the amount of silviculture, if any, that is practiced in the operationsl under way both here In Britain and in France.

" Should bii Tnught In Public Schools. Thc Importance of Forestry aj a profession is pointed out by Prof. J. W. Tourney, director of thc Yale Forestry For-estry School. Twenty-nine per cent, 'of thc area of the United Stales today is forest, he says, and next to agriculture agri-culture thc forests provide labor for more people than any industry, , yet millions of dollars are wasted In forest for-est fires, and unwise utilization. Prof. Tourney urges teaching of Forestry 'n thc public schools. On this point Prof. 'Toumqy says: I "We have ?adly neglected thc teaching teach-ing of forestry' in our public schools, where the great body of our future citizens must find direction and incentive in-centive for productive labor.

"The chief concern of thc public schools should be to Instill In the student stu-dent respect for thc vocations that thc community affords and to Impart knowledge that directly or indirectly relates to the vocation that ho must later follow If ho remains a part of the community.
