THE VALl'E OF FORESTS The ruthless destruction of their forests by the Chinese is. according to foresters of the I'nited States de partment of agriculture, one of the reasons why famine and plague today hold that nation ip their sinister grasp. Denudation, wherever prac ticed, leaves naked soil; floods and erosion follow, and when the soil is gone, men must also go and the process does not take long. Forests, it Is pointed out, not only play an Important part In the distribution of of mankind over the earth's surface, but also deeply affect bis spiritual. physical and economic life. A coun try that recklessly wastes Its natural resources faces ultimate poverty and decadence. History is full of such examples. In the provinces of Honan, Shensi and Chihll, China, over an area some 100,000 square miles in extent, sev eral million people are starving. The immediate causes of the famine were disastrous floods, followed by long periods of drought, which resulted in the failure of three successive crops. ' The great plains of eastern China, occupied by the first Chinese of whom history tells, were centuries ago transformed from forest into ag ricultural land. The mountain pla teaus of central China have also, within a few hundred years, been ut terly devastated of tree growth, and no attempt made at either natural or artificial reforestation. As a result, the water rushes off the naked slopes in veritable floods, gullying away the mountain sides, causing rivers to run muddy with yellow soil, and carrying enormous masses of fertile earth to the sea. "Beware of the mountain water." read signs In many canyons of China, posted as a warning to trav elers against the sudden rise of tor rents during storms. This lack of forest cover has made possible many of the factors that have brought disaster to millions of people of China this year. The tree covered mountains formerly absorbed a considerable portion of the annual rainfall and let it escape by slow, regular seepage during the dry season. Now that there are no trees, shrubs, or even grass to restrain the rainfall, the streams that formerly were narrow and deep, and supplied an abundance of clear water the year round, have become broad and shal low, with slender currents of muddy water, which, when It rains, swell to RipplirigRhijinos y won iwjvii ,T, s.L ft Getting Back We're getting back to normalcy, a little at a time; the hoodoos fade, the Jonahs flee, the grouch becomes a crime. This morning when I took my boat to have a bolt replaced, the workman sang a cheerful note, as to the task he chased. He crawled beneath my panting car and gave the bolt a slap, and smiled through all the grease and tar that clustered on his map. I handed him two iron men, and when that sum was paid, he blithely said, "Please come again I'm keen to get your trade." Some weeks ago I sought his lair my horn re fused to toot and for my story of despair he didn't care a hoot. "I am not fixing things today," he said, with haughty scorn, "and you may take your bus away and soak the doggone horn." I see a change of attitude in artisan and clerk, and, with the old time pep imbued, the boys get down to work. And work's the cure for all the ills that jar the human tribe; it's better than the choicest pills the statesmen can prescribe. Let's all forget the ancient sores, the ancient grief and pain ; when all are busy at their chores, Old Normalcy will reign. ftSTRIKEJ Cigarette No cigarette has the same delicious flavor as Lucky Strike.

Water courses also have changed; rivers become uncontrollable, and the water level of the country low ered perceptibly. In consequence, the unfortunate people see their crops wither and die for lack of wa ter when it la most needed. In many Darts of China, It is said, these fac tors, combined with uncertain mois ture conditions, make seven years out of every 10 more or less famine years.- Human folly and short-sightedness have thus made a county, fertile enough to support over 50,000,000 people, into place where man must ever be haunted by fear of starvation and destruction. The lesson of de forestation in China is one which mankind should have learned many times from what has occurred in other places. The starting or a new 140,000 of fice building for Bend by a man who really knows Central Oregon and Its resources should be an eye opener to the doleful ones whose songs of woe have been heard so continuously within the last two weeks. fifteen Years Ago (From the columns of The Bu'letin of April 27, 1906.)
