"Our present forest (iron of 550,

mated to consist of .'00,000,000 acres
of mature forests, in which the. mi

"Taken ns n whole, the annual
growth of our forests uiuler these
conditions does not exceed 12 cubic j
feet per acre, ntotal of less than 7,-

are cutting our forests three times as
fast ns they nro growing. There is
menace in the eonliiuiaiiee of such
conditions. While we might never
reach absolute limber exhaustion, the
unrestricted exploitation of our for
ests in the past has already had se
rious effects, and it will have much
worse if it is allowed to continue un
checked. 'White pine,' for instance, which
was once considered inexhaustible,
has fallen off 70 per cent in cut since
1800. and more than 4." per cent since
1900. The cut of oak, our most val
uable hardwood lumlier. has decreas
ed 1( per cent since 1000. and that of
yellow'poplnr 22 per cent. The same
story will be told of other woods if
thev are not conserved."

URGES CO-OPERATION
OF FRUIT GROWERS
(Continued from page 4.)
that the pro-rating among the mem
bership of each association gives him
an absolute guarantee that he will
receive the average price of that sea
son for every box of every variety
and grade of his fruit according to
its quality.
"In my judgment the success of
the exchange has not bren entirely
due to the successful marketing of its
fruit, but much of it to the belief
among the growers that they nro giv
en a "sijimre deal," and I think this
confidence has been lnrgely gained
by the associations who have given
the grower of, say one enrlond of
fruit, an equal voice in its manage
ment, with the grower who has 20 or
more carloads. In other words, be
cause the vole of Iho smaller shipper
counts ns much as a vote of the
larger, this giving up of what would
naturally bo the larger grower's legal
rights ban given him Iho ' moral
strength in its mauiigement, and they
in (lie greatest nieasuro guide the ac
tions of the association."
All citrus growers in California
have been largely benefited by tho
successfil operation of the exchange
The commission men, the independent
buyers and speculators can no long
er make a football of the noii-mcm-bcrs
of the exchange, ns he is able to
form a very close guess as to Die re
turns on the various kinds of fruit
which will tirobalily be made to the
members of the exchange, and un
less he can receive a price approxi
mately near this amount he is likely
to become a member of the exchange
the following year.
Buys All Growers' Packing Material.
The Fruit Growers' Supply com
pany was organized in 1007 for the
purpose of 'purchasing nil packing
material used by the exchange grow
ers. Through it favorable long con
tracts have been made nt fair prices,
so that the charging of exorbitant
urines by the manufacturer and seller
lias been made very difficult, if not
impossible, and great savings effect
ed in the aggregate, not only to nil
exchange members, hut to all other
cilnts fruit growers, as Iho manu
facturers realize that unless they sell
lo the latter at about the same price
he exchange members buy. the non
mmbers would join the exchange.
The Supply company has purchas
ed for. this year's use for the ex
change some 0,000,000 boxes, equiv
alent to 45,000,000 feet, honrd meas
ure, which is cqiial to 1800 carloads
of prepared lumber or shook, and has
also bought 120 carloads of tissue
orange and lemon wraps and 20 enr
loads of nails, averaging 500 kegs
to the car, with 55.000 nails to tho
keg, nt n price considerably below
llial. ordinarily paid.
During Iho life of the exchange the
writer, cannot remember of the fail
ure of any of its affiliating associa
tions (numbering at the present time
about 1000), and for yoars all of
ils (lacking material lias boon paid for
almost without exception within ton
days from the receipt of tho good.
Its officers and directors are gen
erally the same as thoso of the ex
change, with the addition of Mr. H.
tl. Dcxcll, the crucial manager.
The exchange hu saved its mem
bers a large amount of money an
nually by forming a "mutual indem
nity compact," which insures llicm
against loss by fire on the properly
of the various associations affiliated
with the exchange, lis total loss to
dale, nfler an cilcuco of more than
six years, is less than the amount of
the regular premium charged by Hi"
mercantile coiupanics for one year.
It is the policy of the California
Fruit dinners' exchange to put llm
fruit of ils members on the market
the year around, giving careful con
sideration to climatic conditions and
probable monthly needs, at all times
selling freely at auction at an f. o. h.
price, or at the prevailing market
price at the time delivered, as tho
buyer and the grower may prefer,
and to do a(l in its power to extend
its district and to force sales through
its advertising ami its employes to
every possible market, realizing that
glutted anil uneven markets mean in
the long run higher prices to Hie con
sumer but smaller returns to thu
grower. With an even market, both
the wholesaler and the retailer aro
willing lo sell on n very small mar
gin, but (hey will not handle the fruit
on an irregular market, as to pricn
without a much higher leeway for
profit.
Growers Supreme on Pricing.
The growers individually reserve
the right to pick their proporliuniil
amount of fruit mid of tho markets
at all ijeasous of the year and to de
cide absolutely whether they will ac
cept or reject the price offered.
The orange growers of today nro
receiving fair returns for their prod
uct and the consumer is getting n
better orange at a less price than
before the present tariff went into
effect, at which period tho grower
was nimble to sell bis fruit, in many
instances, except nt n loss.
He fore the present tariff the grow
ers had to pay the commission men
from 15c to 20e per box profit in tbn
picking and packing and 35c or morn
ier box for selling and guarantee.
Today the members of Iho exchange
have their fruit sold lit an average
cost not to exceed 7c per box, there
by making a siivinu to tlicni in pack
ing and selling of not less than 40e
per box, mid owing to the regularity
with which the fruit goes on to tho
markets today and the evenness of
the price, the jobbers and retail dis
tributors realizing that they lake lit
tle or no risk of loss between them,
accept a profit of from ,'iiic to 35n
per box loss than under the old con
ditions, making a total saving of ex
pense between the growers and tbn
consumers of 80 or more cents per
box. As the present duty is but 72"
n box. this saving more than offsets
it. The present competition among
the growers themselves enables tho
consumer, ns I said before, to reeeivo
a litter orange at a less price than
before the present duty was chnrged,
if the duly were removed or lessened,
allowing large and irregular ship
ments to con io. in nt any time, which
would inevitably disturb marketing
conditions in prices.
