Just at the time when this country I , is beginning to struggle with the pro- B blem of husbanding its forest resour- I tees, of protecting its mountain slopes, I" and of improving the waterways, it is fp interesting to know that the Japan- I ese have successfully attacked the B problem, before the land suffered se- H verelv from the evil etVecis following B deforestation. The farsighted people B of Nippon have foreseen the results iw ol tlic destruction ol their extensive H inoiiuiain forests, and have safe- B guarded themselves by placing all of B these under government control. I he practice of forestry has been faf carried <?n in -Japan for a longer time jS? than in any other country. For 1,? B 200 years the people of Japan have I been planting and growing forests, B with a success that lias been a litlle'jP short ol marvelous. Under careful! ?6 management. I lie Japanese forests B yield very high financial returns. H I nis high \ ield is only made possible jgl i by the close utilization of every bit g| of the tree ,>o that scarcely a twig is Hm wasted, .iint by the improvement of g|| the growth o| their forests bv care- B I ully conducted l binning and tending, The woods are first thinned at the II I age o| thirteen years, and then everv 19 five years after that up to the time ?] of the final harvest, at 120 years. ; * It was the opening up of the hith- fig erto inaccessible mountain forests that the Japanese government be- B eame most, intensely interested in I, forestry. The mountains were still IS' t government land, so all that was nec- B essary to protect them was to place |f? proper restrictions on the sale and ? cutting of timber. This was effected || } by declaring the forests on the sleep B ; slopes as reserved forests, in which >' the only cutting should be done un- ||| <j der government direction. The for( ests on agricultural lands, not needed I ) for protection, are classed as avail- IV y able forests, and here the cuttitng is not so carefully restricted. ' I ; I? Thus .Japan lias elVectually profiled the stripping <>t* her mountain opes before any great damage has 3en done. In some districts, where 10 mountains arc near the towns, 10 steep slopes have already been oared, and (his has resulted in 1 oods and the washing down of tho i >il from the slopes on to the farm lids. But these eases have been exsptional, and have merely served as warning, which .Japan lias heeded afore it was too late td prevent wide>road destruction.
