' CONSFAiVATlOK. MEANS Ml (If.
The report of the national toiiscrvatioii ciuuiiiission
tendered to congress'' a few . days ago,' is merely ii rough
estimate of the natural resources of the United States,
together -with an equally rough outline of the nrineipnl
channels through which bur appalling waste passes. Yet
with al of ts roughness it is a tremendous piece of work.
The vHstheas of its' territory, coupled with tiie. tact 'J. at
there were no existing tables upon which to shape it, ac
counts for the roughness and gives promise of things 1
counts for the; roughness and gives promise: of better
things to come. . . ,
' A few' of its'sigiiificiuit facts, taken from the report
at random,-brief ly follow : -
Our coal supply will upjiroaeh depletion before the
middle of the next century".
Iligh-grade iron pres run not be expected to hist be
yond the middle of the present century, nor will petro
leum last longer.
Ttie'wdste'in the extraction and treatment of mineral
products in 1907 wan equivalent to more than sp)0,0(H),000.
The average yield of wheat in the United Stales is less
than 14 bushels pet' acre, in Germany 28 bushels aud in
England 32 bushels.
The greatest unnecessary loss of our soil is prevent
able erosion. Second paly to this is the waste, non-use and
mis-use of fertilizer derived from animals and men.
Our wild game und fur-bearing animals have been
largely exterminated. With game birds the story is much
the salmi: ' ,. t il&lM
Not less than 50,000,000 acres of forest is burned over
yearly. v
One-fourth of the standing timber is lost in logging.
The boxing pf long-leaf pine for turpentine has destroyed
one-fifth' of the forests worked. The loss in the mill w
from otic-third to two-thirds of the timber sawed.
Of each 1000 feet which stood in the forest an average '
'of only 320 feet of lumber is used.
By reasonable thrift we can produce a constant lum
ber supply beyond our present needs, and with it conserve
the usefulness of our streams for irrigation, water supply,
navigation and power.
In dealing with these figures of such elemental big
ness, the commission seems to make its chief recommenda
tion in' the' following paragraph :
For the prevention of waste the most effective meant
wiU'be found in the increase and diffusion of knowledge,
from Which is sure to result an aroused public sentiment
demanding prevention.
In other words, the commission has as its greatest, task
the education of the public. This will lie found to lie its
continuous 'task, although its specific plans for legislation
will be 'presented as rapidly as possible.
In making education of the public along lines of eco
nomic waste' its greatest duty the commission lias struck
at the lieart of the matter. Americans, while they have
been "proud of their resources, have never given thought
to the need of conserving them, nor have they been aware
of the wasteful methods of manufacture and production.
But with its campaign of diffusing knowledge newer and
better standards will be established. And with education
will come an insistent demand that the wasteful processes
of the past cease.
