That object Is not to preserve the forests because they are refuges tor the wild crea tures of the wilderness, though that, too, Is noo.l In Itself, but the pri mary object of our forest policy, as of the land policy of the United States,-Is the making of prosperous homes. It Is part of the traditional policy of home making of our coun try. Every other consideration comes as secondary. Tbo whole effort of tho government In dealing with forests must be directed to this end, keeping in view the fact that It Is not only necessary to start tho h?uies as proiperous, but to keep them so. . That Is why the forests hivo got to be kept. You can start a prosperous home by destroying the forests, but you cannot keep It pros perous that way Forestry Is tho preservation of forests by wtso use."
