AMERICAN FORESTRY 



227 



TO RALLY TO THE CAUSE OF FORESTRY 



Dalton, Ga., Citizen: "America needs a 

 more thorough awakening to the needs of 

 tree planting now to insure sufficient tim- 

 ber in the future. Industries are calling 

 for timber but the areas that formerly 

 furnished the trees have been partially 

 cleared and little thought has been taken 

 for the future." 



Providence Bulletin: "Save paper says 

 the American Forestry Magazine. A cut 

 of 25 per cent in paper would mean six 

 million less tons of freight for railroads 

 to handle." 



Indianapolis Star: "In response to sena- 

 torial request for information in regard to 

 depletion of the forests, the American For- 

 estry Association has presented figures to 

 show the New England States are no longer 

 self-supporting in a lumber way; the cen- 

 ter of the lumber industry is fast moving 

 to the Pacific Coast ; the Lake States are 

 now importing lumber to keep alive the 

 wood using industries of that section. It 

 is time all land owners should give heed." 



New York Evening Mail: "The enor- 

 mous economic importance of our forests is 



shown by the figures given in the latest 

 census report. These figures show that of 

 the round total of 276,000 manufacturing 

 establishments in the country, 52,000, or 19 

 per cent, are dependent for their continued 

 operation, either wholly or in part, upon the 

 output of raw material from the forests. 



"And yet we have no national policy for 

 the conservation and the development of 

 our timber resources. Not only are we cut- 

 ting down our forests, for the most part 

 with hardly any regard for future needs, 

 but are giving scant attention as a nation 

 to the protection from destruction of the 

 resources that we have not yet succeeded 

 in squandering. 



"This carelessness is indicated by the at- 

 tempt in Congress to reduce to the vanish- 

 ing 1 point the government appropriation for 

 the forest fire service. This contempt for 

 one of our most valuable natural resources, 

 the basis of industry in which a total of 

 $3,000,000,000 is invested, is incomprehensi 

 ble. The American Forestry Association, 

 of Washington, deserves hearty commenda- 

 tion for its efforts to rouse Congress and 

 the American people to the importance of 

 a national forestry policy as a fixed fea- 



ture of our efforts to make the best possi- 

 ble use of our fast-vanishing natural 

 resources." 



Birmingham Ncil>s: "The American For- 

 estry Association calls attention to the fact 

 that the forest fires in this country burn 

 ten times the area of devastated France 

 every year. Using that terrific fact as a 

 text, Charles Lathrop Pack, president of 

 the Association, preaches a powerful ser- 

 mon on the imperative need for a national 

 forest policy. 



"He explains why the penny newspaper 

 and the two-penny newspaper are things 

 of the past. He sees in the gradual deple- 

 tion of American forestry an actual menace 

 to education. Some of his recent utter- 

 ances are alarming, and his data, carefully 

 gathered, confirm the opinion rapidly 

 spreading that unless the United States 

 buckles down to forest conservation, not 

 only will newsprint become higher, but 

 agriculture must inevitably suffer. 



"But the conservation of timber for 

 newsprint purposes is even less important 

 than the conservation of forestry for the 

 making of homes for human beings to 

 live in."
