attempts, subject to constant improvement, they might be justified. 

 But some of them have remained unchanged and' ineffective for many 

 years. 



To gain public support to the extent necessary to make a yield rax 

 work, the people of a State must be aware of the importance of forestry 

 to the general economy and convinced that some sacrifice in current 

 revenue is justified by the results to be obtained. The people must 

 realize that although forest management is of value to the owner of 

 forest land, an ample and stable supply of forest products is also 

 important to the economy of the whole State. 



The public is well aware of the importance of forest -fire protec- 

 tion and appropriations for lire control are willingly made. The 

 purposes of lire control and of establishing favorable economic con- 

 ditions for the practice of forestry are about the same — to assure 

 future supplies of timber and to eliminate or reduce the risks of forest 

 management. Tax relief is not as spectacular as fire control. It may 

 not be as greatly needed. But in terms of relative cost it may. in many 

 areas, be of equal value in bringing about a healthy economic condi- 

 tion for the practice of forestry.
