Anrll It Mr. "Gilford , Pinchot. who haa charts of the forestry . bureau of the department or agriculture. will undertake to render practical as- ilitmM.iii hmin lumbermen, and . ,- othera In handling Jorest lands. He hue . 1 recenar laued a circular relative to mis matter which haa the approval of t'ae " . secretary of .agriculture, la which the J plan to aaalat In t orestry mature la out. line aa followa: , '' - . ' The forestry 14 ' ' ' n" Un" --fHsterw owned In three aeparate waya: " First, by the government of the United , States, to which belong th1 reserved ' and onreeerved foreata of the public do ' main; second, by aome of the atatee; aud . 1 third, by private owners, among- whom are Individuals, companies snd iiBKltu - tlona. The private foreat landa exceed '". In area thoae of the states and the fed ' era! - government ' , combined, and their preservation la a condition to produce ; timber, and to conserve the water sun t ply Is of vaat Importance to the nation. But, -aa a. rule, the treatment which ' private foreata receive tend to deatroy ; their valu rather Jbn te sustain -or ""increase it. --y- The reason - fa , evident and natural. : Theae landa. like other private property. are bold by the ownera for the returna - they yield, and the ownera have oniy begun to understand that ft pay better, -1 v aa a rule, to protect a forest In harvest -- Ing the timber crop than to- deatroy tt ' A knowledge Of how to bring about the .desirable result la atlll more restricted, while trained men capable of advising ' i forest owners In the matte- ara vry few Indeed.1 ' ,, ? ; - r-.J"' V V V rleaa aam&M.t:i . 5 IFor theao reasons the bureau, of . for eitry has undertaken to provide a aerie of practical examples 'of Improved treat 'ment of private forest; landa. In which .'.the beat Interest' of the owner ehall be -; secured through the protection and im - provement of the forest, i The one Is ea . sentlal to the other,, for the productive , value of forest land la (he only conald , eratton that will lead to Its preservation 1 by the great majority of private owners. " It Is pesalble to show that Improved waya of handling forest lands are best ' for the owner aa well aa for the forest: - br ssmtng fW OWhfrt W"mae-tttat of them and then publishing the methods and results all will be benefited. . Forest landa In privets ownership art mainly of two kinds, small holdings, for --' " the most part farmers" woodlota, and . larger areas, chiefly valuable for lura- , ber. Assistance will be given to the owners of each kind, so far as the funds ' at the disposal of the bureau will permit. . Throughout- Jrary Urge portion of the uaiteq Biaiea near every isnp nas a certain part of Its area under wood. elhr planted, as -In regions' otherwise '' treeless, or of natural growth. The ' 'value of this wooded portion,-besides sf- -fording protection from the wind, ' Is . chiefly for fuel, fencing, end railroad rfe-ttes, with.- soma bntldtn g material and the. wood needed for special uaes about 1 the farm. . v Without the woodlot the farm would very often be an unprofitable investment, because the farmer .could not afford to buy the wood which now coats him very little except the labor of cutting and moving It. Indeed. In very many caaes th woodlot kervps the farmer going. His abor there during the winter, when 1 otherwise he would be Idle, makea tip ' for any deficit from the cultivated land, ' and the ready money he receives from the sals of fuel, ties, or other material la Indispensable to his comfort and pros- - pevlty. . - : ." ' ! . In two directions,' then.- material-and money, tha product of his woodlot Is of ?hlgh Importance to the farmer. But in T the majority of cases this part of thn ".-farm Is far leas useful than It' might '('easily bo made. This Is true because ' ths farmer does not study Its productive '. capacity as tie doea that of his fields ; and pastures, nd hence does not make lt yield as fully as he might, with little - 'or no additional labor, if he went about ;'" It In the right way. - In every foreat region of the United ' States adequate protection against fire 1 la urgently needed.,- Often 'a carefully i. planned and well executed system of fire t protection Is all that Is required to en. 'able a'cut-over foreat to renew itself, - or to insure valuable returns 'from a ; second-growth stand ' already - on the .'ground. :.. . ' r i. The bureau of forestry 'la prepared to devise definite, practical schemes that . will effectually guard the foreat from .'. destruction or serious ' injury, by fires, i I Each plan -will Include an estimate of -', the cost of Its execution. , " . ,; Such flre protection plans will be un 'A dertaken under th same agreement as .'that made for the tsrsaeatlea of. work- ,.A4ng plans. ...- ; Parsons desiring tn assistance of tha ; ' i bureau or forestry unaer tne provisions 'of this circular should make application I to th foreater of the department of . : agriculture, by letter, specifying th ex act location, th slse, and th character Of the forest : .;:-4 '..;-rr-v nxanni ASmAggxjr oar niu, ' (Jesrsal Special Servtee.)
