THE FOREST POLICY OF FRANCE -ITS VINDICATION 



( Continued from Page 1385) 



advocate a wholesale transplanting of French 

 policies or methods to the United States. Yet 

 in many respects, what the French have done 

 is strikingly suggestive of practical solutions 

 of forest problems in the United States. 

 Some of these will be discussed in greater 

 detail in later articles. In considering them let 

 us not forget, particularly in view of the re- 

 awakening to the importance of our own for- 



ests which the war has brought about, how the 

 forest policy of France has vindicated itself 

 in a crucial test of national strength. 



NOTE:— THIS IS THE FIRST OF A SERIES 

 OF ARTICLES BY LT.-COL. W. B. GREELEY 

 ON FRENCH FORESTRY CONDITIONS. THE 

 OTHERS ARE AS FOLLOWS : NOVEMBER, THE 

 FOREST CODE AND THE REGIME FORESTIER. 

 DECEMBER, THE CONTROL OF SAND DUNES 

 AND MOUNTAIN TORRENTS. JANUARY, 

 FORESTRY ON PRIVATE LANDS IN FRANCE. 



THE LOONS AND GREBES 



(Continued from Page 1422) 



than the horned grebe, confined to western 

 North America, is the eared grebe. It 

 has the same yellowish tufts of feathers on 

 the sides of the head but its neck is black 

 instead of chestnut. 



Another grebe of western United Stated 

 is called the western grebe. It resembles 

 the winter plumage of the horned grebe at 

 all seasons of the year but it has a much 

 longer and more slender neck. At one time 

 the snowy white breast plumage of this 

 bird was in great demand by milliners 

 which resulted in the near extinction of 

 this species, as well as the eared and even 

 the horned grebes. The marshes and tule- 

 bordered lakes of the West gave up thou- 

 sands of these graceful birds to satisfy the 

 dictates of fashion and for a time they al- 

 most disappeared. Now, however, they are 

 protected, and, as one travels westward, he 

 can gaze from the train windows and see 

 them gliding over the surface of the reedy- 

 ponds and even catch glimpses of their 

 floating nests or downy young. 



TIMBER RESOURCES OF THE 

 NORTHWEST 

 TF all the timber were cut into lumber and 

 loaded on freight cars it would take 

 114,000,000 cars and 77,700,000 cars respec- 

 tively to haul away the Douglas fir of 

 Oregon and Washington, allowing the 

 usual 30,000 feet of lumber to a car. Wash- 

 ington and Oregon contain one-third of all 

 the standing timber in the United States. 

 One-fourth of all standing timber in the 

 country is Douglas fir and 80 per cent of 

 the Douglas fir is in these two states. 



The lumbering industry, including log- 

 ging, sawmill operations and maufactured 

 wood products is the largest single indus- 

 try in Oregon and Washington and gives 

 employment to nearly 60 per cent of the 

 working population in the two states. 



In Montana, a conservative government 

 estimate places the standing timber at 65 

 billion feet, a large part in government 

 forest reserves. At the present rate of cut- 

 ting — 300 million feet a year — it would 

 take over 200 years to fell this enormous 

 stand and as reforestation has already be- 

 gun and methods of fighting forest fires 

 are improving, there will be billions of feet 

 of timber left in Montana at the end of 

 the next hundred years. 



DOUGLAS FIR AT ATLANTIC CITY 



'T'HE famous "board walk" at Atlantic- 

 City is being rebuilt of Douglas fir, 

 replacing the planks of southern pine 

 which have for two generations borne the 

 weight of the gay habitues of the popular 

 resort of the Atlantic seaboard, according 

 to Secretary R. B. Allen, of the West Coast 

 Lumbermen's Association. (The Timber- 

 man, June. 1919. page 109.)
