ALL-IMPORTANT
Forests Mean Everything to Welfare
of the Nation at
Large.
"A very few yours 115:0 't'oivst i'n
servntiuii' was little more than n
lliras ; today it is n vital issue in
our national development,'' says
Treadwell Cleveland, Jr., in a circu
lar on the status of forestry in this
country, which has just been issued
by the. United States forest service.
"In connection with the general plan
to conserve all natural resources it
is the most' important and far-reaching
economic policy ever adopted and
pursued by any nation.
"The forest is one of the chief sup
)xrts t the whole material fabric' of
our civilization. . The forest means
not? only a permanent supply of wood
and the life of all the industries
which depend innm it. but also the
control of the -.raters for human use.
There is only barrenness iu the- fu
ture of the nation which has lost the
use of wood and the control of wa
ter. "It has shown that we are still
destroying the forest as we use it;
that we are taking from it every year
three and a half times as much wood
as is added by the new growth. It
has shown that less than one-third
of the growing trees felled by" the
lumberman is ever used at all, so that
two-thirds of all the timber cut is
simply destroyed. It has shown that
one-eleventh of all the forests are
swept by fires every year, and thnt
on the average since 1S70 forest
fires have yearly cost $50,000,000 iu
timber and 50 lives. It has shown
thnt over 0!) per cent of the forests
in private hands, which comprise
three-fourths of all the forest land
and four-fifths of all the wood, is
thus devastated by destructive use
and the scourge of unchecked fires,
while less than 1 per cent is properly
handled for successive crops or ef
fectively protected from fire. The
forest as a resource is rapidly being
obliterated."

SAVES UNCLE SAM MONEY
WASHINGTON', Sept. :. As the
result of the experiment inndv by the
nnvy department for the saving of
money by the consolidation of stores
on hoard sever, of the vessels of tin
navy, it is probable that the system
will be iiia.ivnrated on nil vessels. It
is estimated from the saving accom
plished on the seven vessels that
7.)0,0'.)0 a ear can ho saved in this
mnuuct' on all if the plan is put into
operation.
Instead of issuing supplies in bulk
to ti'e vftssels selected for the test,
tint Connecticut, the, Minnesota, the
Oeoigin. the Xew Jersey and the Ver
mont tatlleships, and the West Vir
ginia nrJ the Colorado, armed cruis
ers, money Allotments were provided
for each frhip's department, in order
that piiivluinc.s be made to meet each
vessel' rciiiirements. The average
of saving on each of the seven vessels
was 4- per ccrl. Under construction
and repair TO per cent was saved;
equipment. 47 per cent; steam engin
eering, S-l per cent, and supplies and
aconnt, 2 1 ptr cent.
