REFORESTATION MUST '
BE USED TO INSURE
m ' this ' country and abroad, declares
Lieutenant. Colonel H. & Graves, chief
of the federal forest service.
Colonel Graves spoke before the Cham
ber of Commerce at luncheon Monday
noon and ' addressed local ; lumbermen
at a special meeting- called in the sreen
room of the chamber at 2, p. m. He
urged the cooperation, not only of lum
bermen, but of farmers and land owners
generally in protecting- future genera
tions against a. lumber famine.
Millions of acres , of . loggect-off lands
in the Northwest and. in other sections
of the country are unfit for agricul
ture or for gracing land. Colonel Graves
stated. ' but could be reforested to ad
vantage and 'thus insure a continuance
of the lumber -supply. The federal gov
ernment through the forest department
is planting thousands of acres of land
in the forest reserves and asks the
cooperation of the various states and
private land owners in carrying' on this
Important work. , r t
.The -lumber markets of this country
west for their, supplies and the .import
ance of our. forest products is rapidly
increasing, owlnj; to . the depletion of
timber , supply- in other sections. . Dur
ing the next 10 years more than 60 per
cent of the timber holdings f of ; ; the
Southern pine section will have been
consumed, according' to Colonel Graves,
and the importance f Southern pine
as a factor to the lumber industry
have dwindled to a comparatively negli
gible position In 20 years, i H '
Already the demands upon the lum
bermen of the Northwest are assuming
vast , proportions and the area of avail
able timber land- is being denuded at
a rate which will leave an actual short
age in less ' than 100 years unless a
definite policy of, reforestation, is im
mediately adopted, according to Colonel
Graves,.- '-i r -v
Fire prevention "la the first Important
step to be taken in the work of refor
estation, and to make ' prevention ef
available at all times to act as fire
fighters. " Local lumbermen agreed with
Colonel .Graves that reforestation . 'can
be successful 1 only where the - young
trees are protected from fire, and to
insure this . protection it was. proposed
at the afternoon meeting that soldiers
of the United States army be quartered
in the forest reserves to cooperate with
forestry officials.
; Colonel Graves proposed that the gov
ernment take th lead in fire protection
and ' reforestation work and secure the
cooperation of state flOcials and tim
ber owners.. H wilL If turn to Portland
next week and, address another meeting
of lumbermen? and members of the Pa
cific Northwest Tourist association.
