(•ill' of till' ri'i-i'iit teiKliMiiics in tlie Unn- 

 lii'r liusincss lias lici-n to ri'duce -waste in 

 (•very possible direction. You have taUon 

 tiiis up first of all in the mill: it has gone 

 from the mill to tiie woods and the metli- 

 nils of logging, and in tunny parts of tlie 

 country has already liegun to afifect meth- 

 ods of ciittiii!.'. Tliis tendency to avoid 

 waste, to malie Ijetter u.se of natural re- 

 sources, is not conlincd to tlie luml)er trade 

 liy any means. It is cliaracteristic now 

 "f all the industries of the I'nited States, 

 I lid is the logical outcome of the economic 

 situation, just as, in my belief, the interest 

 •r tlic lumbermen in forestry must neces- 

 sarily be the logical outcome of the eeo- 

 Momic conditions under which tlie lumber 

 business is placed. Yon have naturally and' 

 logically moved forward step by step in this 

 progress of eliminating waste, iijaUing more 

 out of the material with which you have 

 111 worli. It is perfectly logical and nat 

 ural. therefore, tliat the next step for yon 

 to consider is the use of your standing 

 limber, not merely for itself alone but also 

 ill relation to the value of the land to 

 you later on. That is the -whole essence 

 of forestry. As President Roosevelt has 

 phra.sed it, "The principal idea in forestry 

 is the preservation of forests by -wise use," 

 and the conception upon which the -whole 

 iii.itlcr is based is simply the question of 



wlietlii'i <'< lint yon Intend to gel n Reeonil 

 crop. 



Till- nil! iilen lliat the forester wiik the 

 enemy nf ilm luiiibi'rniiin, and. iibove nil. 

 Ilie eiiciii.t nf ciitling timber, disiippeared 

 long ago irntii I he nilndx of foresterH, nr 

 rather fi iiiuis of forestry — for no true for 

 esler evil lield It — and is rapidly dlsnp 

 penrliig linm your iiiinds and thoNe of 

 other liiiiilii'i'iiien. .\iiil thai Is perhaps the 

 liapplc^l :i>|icct of Ihe whole .<ltualliin. for 

 the pel pel nation alike of your Industry and 

 of fori-uy depends upon yonr alliliide 

 towiiril ilils single <|iiestlon: lio yon or 

 do you iinl li.teiid to get a second crop? 



I aiii very far from wanllng lo discuss 

 with ynii ilic supplies of slanding timber 

 or the prosiiect of a tinilier famine i|iies- 

 tioiis Willi which you are more familiar 

 than I ;iiii: liut It is perfectly obvious thai 

 the supplies of certain Uinds of timber are 

 riijiidly disappearing, that the lumber trade 

 Is falliiii: bad; year by year on poorer ma- 

 terial and longer hauls, and that tlie ijues 

 tion of its eontinuanee Is already ileiiiaiid 

 ing an .-iiiswer. 



Tills is purely a business proposillon 

 which I waul, to lay before yo\i, to be con- 

 sidered, accepted or rejected on a Inisliiess 

 iiasis. l-'oresiry deals with the forest In 

 some ways with wliich you have but an 

 indirect interest. I am not taliiing now 

 about Hie effect of forests en the How o. 

 streams, on winds, or on tiie general pros- 

 perit.v — matters of vital importance In 

 their place; but tbe tinestion I want to 

 bring to you is simply this: Is it worth 

 .votir while, from a commercial jioiiit of 

 view, to cnnsider the forest as a part of 

 your plant, niid from that point of view 

 sliouid ynii i-ul off your timber and lei the 

 land gn b.ick for ta.xesV 



Let us take an illustration. Suppo.se any 

 one of you has a tract of timber land in 

 .\rkansjis. for example — for we have some 

 good ligiiies for that state. Y'ou tind that 

 under eei-|aiii conditions, wliicli make |irac- 

 licaiiy no difference in the cost of gellliii; 

 out your logs — and it is the business of tin- 

 Bureau of Forestry to ascertain -what those 

 conditions are — yon can get a second crop 

 of the same amount off that land in fmly 

 years. It will be a man's tendency, .is it 

 was mine when J began tliis work, to lliiiiU 

 of forty years as a very long time, a pciiml
