Just at the time when this country is beginning to struggle with the pro blem of husbanding its forest resour ees, of protecting its mountain slopes, and of improving the waterways, it is interesting to know that the Japan ese have successfully attacked the problem, before the land suffered se verely from the evil effects following deforestation. The farsighted people of Nippon have foreseen the results of the destruction of their extensive mountain forests, and have safe guarded themselves b'y placing all of these under government control. The practice of forestry has been carried on in Japan for a longer time than in any other country. For 1, 200 years the people of Japan have been planting and growing forests, with a success that has been a little short of marvelous. Under careful management. the Japanese forests yield very high financial returns. This high yield is only made possible by the close utilization of every bit of the tree so that scarcely a twig is wasted, and by the improvement of the growth of their forests by care fully conducted thinning and tending. The woods are first thinned at the age of thirteen years, and then every five years after that up to the time of the final harvest, at 120 years. It was the opening up of the hith erto inaccessible mountain forests that the Japanese government be came most intensely interested in forestry. The mountains were still government land, so all that was nec essary to protect them was to place proper restrictions on the sale and cutting of timber. This was effected by declaring the forests on the steep slopes as reserved forests, in which the only cutting should be done un der government direction. The for ests on agricultural lands, not needed for protection, are classed as avail able forests, and here the cuttitng is been done. In suie district-, where the mountains are near the town , the steep slopes have already been cleared. and this has resulted In I floods and the washing down of the soil from the slopes on to tle farm lands. But these cases have been ex ceptional, and have merely served as a warning. which Japai has heeded before it was too late to prevent wide spread dest ructi"on. NEWBEEY UNION STATION.
