(By. Henry S. Graves, Federal Fores
ter). . ...
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: ': . .
