 a language which convinces everyone. 



THREE ESSENTIAL FACTORS. 



What is there to do? Where must we begin? 

 What is the plan? As in so many things, there 

 are several roads to Rome. No one man knows 

 it all, or even knows very much of it; and no 

 one's opinion and plan, therefore, should be 

 set up as infallible. This task is too big to 

 hurry or "railroad" through; if a good begin- 

 ning is made in five years we may feel satisfied. 



In its fundamentals forestry is very simple; to 

 introduce it under the great variety of con- 

 ditions, from Maine to California, from Minne- 

 sota to Louisiana, is quite another story. 



All will agree that a plan for the general 

 application of forestry in the United States must 

 have three qualities to be useful: It must be 

 just, acceptable and practicable. 



Justice to the people means that plenty of 

 lumber shall be supplied regularly and at a fair 

 price (not cheap, but fair) ; that the future 

 shall be safeguarded by keeping a sufficient area 

 of forest in a productive condition, and that the 

 forests are well distributed over the country to 

 avoid the great burden of long distance trans- 

 portation. 



Justice to the timber owner means that all 

 shall fare alike. A plan which forces the man 

 in Georgia to mark and cut by the selective

method because this seems to work out in Maine 

 is not a just plan. The man in Georgia may 

 practice better forestry by cutting his land clean 

 and planting and seeding it. A plan which al- 

 lows one man to neglect his slash and compels 

 another to clean up is not fair; nor is one 

 which gives good fire protection at one place 

 and poor protection at another. 



That the plan must be acceptable is evident 

 to all. As soon as the leading men in the Gov- 

 ernment of the nation and the states can get 

 together with the owners of the forests on a 

 just and workable agreement the matter be- 

 comes simple and easy.
