TIMBER SUPPLY IN DANGER
Expert Points Out What Seems to Him
Imperative Need of a National
Forest Policy.
"One of the most Interesting things
to come to my knowledge is the seem
ing lack of Interest on the part of tha
people of the United States to save
our forests," said Charles Lathron
Pack, president of the American For
estry association. "Our new growth of
timber is not more than one-third of
the amount being used or destroyed
every year. There Is an end to all
things," continued Mr. Pack, "and the1
timbermen, lumbermen and wood-using;
industries must get together with the
foresters on a national forest policy of
some kind. We all know about locking
the stable door after the horse la
stolen, nnd we enn nil stand around
and wonder what to do when the well
runs dry, but what are we going to do
when the forests give out? Place your
finger on something into which the use
of wood In the making does not enter.
Rather hard for you to do It, I will
say. The newspaper owner knows
abtiut the mounting cost of print paper
and the cost of the barrel In which you
find your flour has gone away up. You
cannot ent the paper or the barrel, but
they figure big In the high cost of living
you hear so much nbout. We must
have n national forest policy In this
country, nnd tliut soon."

Land, Have Been Much Improved
