Of Great Importance That Steps Be
Taken to Conserve Qur Forests
By ELLWOOD WILSON, Chief Forester, Detroit, Mich

fF
Unless definite steps are taken to conserve ‘he forests and avoid
the timber
unnecessary waste, industry, which is second only to agricul-
ture in importance, will suffer serious injury.
We are cutting and burning at present more than our annual growth
in every province except British Columbia. Oak has practically disap- |
peared from our markets. White pine is rapidly following, and spruce |
will be the next to go. It is necessary that a practical and rational policy
hesadopted immediately and in this you can be of the greatest service.
I'he war has taught us two lessons which are applicable: first, that timber |
is absolutely essential for offensive and defensive warfare; second, that
no unplanned, haphazard operations are of any value.
iow worked out on models the terrain and carefully rchearsed until
the men are letter perfect.
As we must have timber supplies for the future, we must get together |
the men who know about these matters, the men who are financing the
independent industries, and the men who are operating, and work out a

must be met by increased cost of product to the consumer, and the public
must be educated to their responsibility in the matter.

If these children were given opportunity to study home economics in
the fourth or fifth grades they would carry to their homes such lessons

correct and economical preparation of raw materials, which would be
invaluable at this time.

This is a parable of faith and hope, |
found only in Mark. Again the good |
seed is referred to, but in this case

unseen growth receives the emphasis, |
for the seed will spring and grow up, |

of our seed must have this silent pe-
riod for growth. It is the earth that |
brings forth the fruit of herself |
through the energies and powers with
endows it. These powers
are wonderful. We do not understand
them, but there is order and symmetry
in growth. First the blade, then the |
ear, and after that the full corn in | ¢
the ear. Then is the harvest, the
purpose of the seed having been aec-
complished. Mark alone gives us this
parable, and it is given in close rela-
tion to the parable of the sower and
of the wheat and tares. Jesus is the
great harvester (v. 29), and knows the
right time to reap the grain, the mo-
ment when it is “ripe” (v. 29 R. V.).
Then he putteth in the sickle.
