The time has come for constructive public action that will bring about a right handling ot our private timber- lands. The practice of forestry on private timberlands is entirely pos sible, when coupled with a liberal policy of public cooperation and as sistance. Such public help should be provided and forestry be made mandatory. Our country Is progressively de stroying its forests. , . The .conse quences are far-reaching. The ex. haustlon of the forest is fnllowei) hv the closing of Industries, the steady increase of waste lands, the abandon- ment of farms that . depended for their market on the lumber commu nlties, and the impoverishment of many regions, i .. ; No section of the country can af ford to have a large part of its land an unproductive waste, with the loss of taxable values, of industries, .and of population that would be support ed if these lands were productive. No section can afford to be dependent for Its supplies of wood products on another section from one. to three thousand miles away. v J; The leaders of the southern pine Industry pay that the original sup plies of pine in the south will be ex hausted in ten years, and that within five. to seven , years more than,. 3000 mills will go out of. .existence. Al ready there. Is an acute problem of upplies for paper mills and for other industries In the east which use spec ialized material. -Pacific coast tim er is entering the eastern markets. This means that the price of. home grown timber has . risen to a point making it possible to ship timber 3000 miles. in competition with It. Timberland owners have not recog nized an obligation to prevent their properties from becoming a source of Injury to the community.; f. Even in organized fire protection the chief effort Is confined to the stands, of merchantable time.- The chara-Ucr of the foreBt prohlerii- is .such as to require .the participation and direc tion of the public. . We are not giiiiR to meet the situation until the public takes hold of 1U ' . - . t u ; , ; - Thero should be compulsory fire protection, of cut-over lands as well as standing timber. The public should prohibit destructive, methods of cut ting that Injure the community and the public at large. ' . , , . ... At the same time there should be recognized a public obligation not to throw the entire burden on private pwners thru merely restrictive mea sures, but liberal action to aid own ers in. Introducing forestry should be taken... The public should provide a sane system .of taxation; it should cooperate in such problems as over production of lumber, land classifi cation,, colonization, problems of la bor, technical questions relating to methods ot. practice, and other eco nomic, industrial, and technical mat ters involved In a constructive pro gram of forestry. . if: ': . .
