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

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.

and destruction everywhere.
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

Darts of China, It is said, these fac

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

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.
