MO SCOTT WATSON ITHIN a few weeks Presi- dent Coolidge will be is- suing his annual procla- mation for American For- est week, during which time al. Americans are urged to turn their at- tention to the problem of saving our vanishing forests and to co-operate by every means possible to that end. As usual, the leaders in the observance of this week will be the oflicials of the Amer- ican Tree association, headed by Charles Lathrop Pack, the president. In anticipation of that 1 By EL observance the association some time 0 an- nounced a cartoon contest in which a series of prizes were offered for the best cartoons drawn hy amatenrs. The judges of the contest were Mrs. John Dickinson Sherman, president of the General Federation of Women's Clubs; John Hays Hammond, Jay N. Darling (Ding), noted cartoonist of the New York Herald-Tribune; Col. William B. Breeley, chief forester of the United States forest service, and Dr. John I. Finley of the New York Times. These judges recently an- nounced the prize winners among the 210 cartoons which were the contest and which came from every state in the Union and two for ejgn countries. The seven winning drawings will be used in educational drive during American Forest week in April and will be especially valuable entered in the association's because the pictured lesson which they will teach can be understood by everybody, even those who are un- able to read. For that reason the seven winning cartoonists will have the satisfaction of knowing that their efforts were not only rewarded with cash prizes but with the satisfaction of knowing that they have performed a patriotic duty in helping our forests. They are the First prize, $150, Sam L, Tyler, Texas: second, $100, Gottfredson, = Richfield, Utal $50, Richard W. Tipper, W D, C.; fourth, James T. Shaffer, Lancaster, N.

Saving the have is only one of the American association, Even more important is the of bringing to the attention of the na- tion the amount of idle land in this country and how this land can be uti- lized in forest production. This part of the problem is being taken care of by the educational work of the Charles L&throp Pack Forestry trust. One phase of this work has been the distribution. of 1,600,000 “ITorestry Primers” to the schools of the nation. The millions of acres of land in this country, Mr. Pack says, must be put to work growing trees because the economic structure of the country de- pends upon wood in its thousands of uses. The printed word and the car- toon make up part of the ammunition. In the United States the center of the lumber industry is in the Rocky moun- tain region, far removed from the great manufacturing centers, the points of great consumption of forest products, the American Tree tion points out. States like New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, once the cen- ter of the industry, now import lum- ber over long hauls to keep their fac- tories going. In contrast with such a situation is that in Sweden. The annual growth of timber in Sweden's forests now ex- ceeds the annnal cutting by nearly 100,000,000 cubic feet, according to a study of the Swedish forestry system save following : Nash, Jr, Floyd third, ashington, sixth, forests which we part of the Tree now effort matter idle associa- Civilization’s lls When disgruntled genius of the jungle, dissatisfied with the lack of soap, newspapers and underwear, got up the idea of civilization, he un- some wittingly let the “so-called human race’ in for a host of unexpected troubles. He, no doubt, held out to his fellows a glittering prospect of wealth, comfort, loafing, rapid transit, limousines, pullmans, medicines, hos: pitals, welfare workers, radio, air by Trade Commissioner Emil Kekich of the Department of Commerce, This result, the report declares, has been accomplished through forestry prac- tice making extensive areas more pro- ductive and through closer utilization which has relatively reduced cutting. Without question timber growing is the outstanding feature in the indus- trial economy of Sweden at the pres- ent ¢ime and it is constantly becoming of greater importance. Over one-half of the land area is especially adapt- able to forest growth, with the possessing little or no fertility as ag- soil ricultural land. The bulk of the for- ests belongs to private owners, and the forest policy of the country has been essentially one of the economy of private holdings. The owners of these private forests are divided into groups—the farmers, large and small, and large corporations which operate on large-scale forest methods. The Swedes were among the first to realize that some measure of restrie- tion in the large private forest areas was ry, and among the first, if not the first, to actually apply rema- dies to overcutting and ifcidentally point the way for other countries. Practically all the large lumber, paper .nd pulp corporations operate farest departments of their own, which work in close harmony with the royal con- boards, the government for- and the colleges and schools.

Romell to take the Charles Lathrop Pack research professorship of forest two necess servation est service comes Dr. soils just established at Cornell uni- versity.
