ION~ IAliD$ N UNIRY INCREASE WITH RAPIDlI Important Need of Reforestation i Apparent, Says Chief Forester. Practically Every Industry in th Country: Dependent - on Son Form of Forest Products-Abur dance of Forest Land to Suppor All Industries If Kept at Work. Timber depletion has now reache a point in this country where.thre< fths of the primeval forests are gon And where 61 per cent of the timbe that is left is west of the Grer Plains, Col. W. B. Greeley, Chief Foi ester, Forest 'Service, Unitel Statt States Department of Agrcultur' recently told the members of the Ch eago Association of Commerce. Liberal use of American forests wr a necessary part of the commerci growth of this Nation, Col. Greele believes, but reforestation should ha% been practiced, if no from the star at least in late years. There is o abundant area of forest land in th country to support all industries, ar a liberal supply of wood is most nec sary to the people of this country. was thought that, like the Europei countries, we would use, when ot civilization was older, but one-third < one-half as much wood per cinita i we did in the early days.

The exhaustion of American timbei as not come about oecause the for. nts have been used so freely but be ause of the failure to use forest. rowiing lanid. In a nutshell, the prob. nm is that the United States is cut ing wood out of its forests three ot )ur times as fast as it is being grown luch of the land on which timlbe tands or has been cut off will alway e forest land. It is ample to gro. 11 the wood needed for the use of th< eople of this country and for expori rade in lumber and products manu. actured from lumber, if the land cat e kept at work growing trees. Tim er for the future is simply a mattei f putting idle land to work. A sur)rising amount of reforesta. ion has come about by chance, but il i main festly impossible to depend ot hance for adequate reforestation oi auch of our cut-over lands. As luni ier is a public utility, it seems wise or the Federal Government to ac uire as niy acres of forest as pos ible and administer it nationally ,et for the Governnieit. to acquire al he forest land in the United States i! 1 possible.
