EROSION AND FLOOD CONTROL 



No quantitative estimates can be cited to indicate the interstate 

 interest in forests from the standpoint of their value in reducing the 



destructive forces of water, but the hundreds of millions of dollars 

 spent by the Federal Government on levee construction alone affords 



some measure of the Nation's concern in flood control as such. In- 

 vestigations tend to prove that forestry is a basic instrumentality of 



flood control hitherto neglected. As to soil erosion, it is known to 



have a disastrous eifect through impoverishment of the area from 



i Forest Service estimates.
