It haw not been determined by the

will tdi<> supply ships, the repair ship
and some of Ihe colliers.

WHAT FORESTRY HAS DONE; of
AN INTERESTING REVIEW.
- bl
Many people in this country think
that, forestry had never been tried c*'
until the government began to practice
it upon the. national forests. Yet 01
forestry is practiced by every civdliz- Vf
ed country in the world except China
and Turkey. It gets results which
can be got in no other way, and So
which are necessary to the general
welfare. What
forestry has done abroad is 1,1
the strongest proof oT what it can '
accomplish here. The remarkable (>t
success of forest management in the )v
civilized countries of Europe and 1'
Asia is the most forcible argument ?'
which can be brought, in support of
wise forest use in the United States, tr
The more advanced and progressive fr
count ries arVive first and go far- a|
(liost in fdresjry, as they do in other to
things. Indeed, wo might a.lmos,1. tl
take forestry as a yardstick with el
which to measure the height of a civ- fr
ilizalion. On the one hand, the 11a- lo
