494 JOURNAL OF FORESTRY 



As Stated in the aritcle the big problem of forest restoration today 

 is to get money in large quantities and get it quickly. With taxes as 

 high as they are now this cannot be done through direct appropriations 

 from current revenue, and to insist on doing it in that way is playing 

 with the problem. It is not fair to ourselves or to our children. 

 "Grandson" rnust have timber even if he has to pay full value for it, 

 but he will not have it if he is to depend on our growing it through 

 direct appropriations. Our timber shortage is an extremely serious 

 problem and we must learn to think in big figures if we are to reach 

 a satisfactorv solution.
