IJ1S week 1 hivo wjc:it at the
forestry buroiu eatherlng the
latest lnormiion at to Uitcle
Sam's woodlalds. The figures
are so groat that the mind
cannot comprehend them, and
the or.ly way to unilcrsUuid them Is by
iimple conii'rli-oii8. Take, for instance,
the woods wliich covered this country
along about 1C00, at the time Captain
John Smith landed at the mouth of the
lames. They had ait area preater than
one-third of all Europe, and considerably
moro than one-fourth ot tho whole
United States, Including Alaska. The
forestry service estimates that the stand
of jnerchantablo timber then equaled
more than 6,000,000.000,000 feet, or enough
to construct a board walk a foot wide
and an Inch thick, and l.oOO.OOO.OTO tulles
long. That amount of lumber would
have covered a board walk ten feet wide
from the earth to tho sun, and . still loft
enough over to havo belted the waist of
old Mother Earth at the Euuatmr with a
band three and one-half miles wide. Tlie
remainder, if cut Into flooring, could have
carpeted Now England, Now York, New
Jersey, Delaware and Maryland. The
total area of the wood land was 80,000,flU
acres, and the mcrchiintablo timber G.C'JO,
000,000,000 feet. That is what We had at
the beginning.
Oar Jtlishty Koreirtn.
Before I tell you what has become of
this mighty property let me describe In
a nutshell just what It was. Uncle Sam's
foresters have told mo tho story. The
woods were in flvo great tracts. There
wero the .northern forest, the southern
forest, the central forest, the Jtocky
mountai-i woods and the Pacific woods.
The northern forest was the home of
the white pine, covering an area about
six times as great as that of Ohio and
containing enough lumber to have made
a belt of boards an Inch thick and a mile
and a half wide around the globe. The
southern fotest was largely ot yellow
pine and of cypress, but the trees were
not so large, and in board feet it was
lust about equal that of the north. The
central fore-fl, which lay between, was
nearly all hardwood; it had an area
much larger Uis.n the woods north and
outh, and the lumber within It was
.bout half as much more as either of the
others. It would have made a band
around the earth at least two miles In
width.
And then came the Rocky mountain
forest, composed chiefly ot cone-bearing
trees. This contained only llO.QOO.OUO
BVi vcs iiiu auiasm-a ft v u o nuvuk
l'M,000,000,000 board feet. The Pacific for
est" was still smaller in area, but it had
the biggest trees In the country. It had
the Douglas fir, the rodwood and western
yellow pine; it hud tho giants of the for
est, and tho scientists here suy that Its
trees were the largest and that they con
tained more lumber than any other
known to history or geology. The area
ef the forest was lust about equal to two
slates the size of Pennsylvania, but
the stand was so great that it equaled
tbe hardwood centrul forest of the east,
and if cut into inch boards it would have
"111' V, Ullb lllU (li'UU Willi M UUWH
alk two miles in width.
Our Lumber fiuptily in 1011.
Now let us see what 13 left. Our board
walk to the sun has been just about
cut in half, and tbe same is true ut the
left-overs. A walk could still be made,
but it would bo only five feet in width,
ami the board belt around the equator
would be considerably less than two miles
in width. Fully one-half ot the mer
chantable timber has disappeared; it has
been cut down, burnt up and wasted In
every possible way; soma of it has gone
into buildings, but a vast amount has
been absolute waste.
The northern forest ha3 lost 40 per
cent of its area, the southern almost as
much and of the central forest more than
one-half has been cleared. Of the Rocky
mountain woods we have still 9Q per oent,
and of the Facific forest almost as much.
Altogether we havo remaining about
S00,uv0,000,000 feet ef timber, and of this
one-fifth belongs to the government and
U beLng properly carod for; the balance
la In I. a l.un.lM . f r..l.j.,.. inA I I A . i a ! u - t
corporations, syndicates und trusts, and
it is going so fast that If the present
ratio continues, in tweaty or twenty-five
years it will be all cut away.
Our Itljr Lumber Cot.
In 1009 tho trees that went Into timber
were enough to nave raado a board walk
1,000 feet wide running right through the
center ot the earth .from one side to the
other. Tbe amount was more than 44,0X
00U.OIO feet, board mcusure; and, in addi
tion, a vast amount of wood w&s used for
other purposes. Tito forestry bureau es
timates that we are now annually con
suming 2O,0bO,0'JO,OO cubic feet ot good tim
ber. Divide that into posts a foot square.
Stand tht-ui on the earth and let them
prop up the moon. You enn make fiftoen
or fcUteeu surh posts, and each ot them
would reach all the nay to our little
sister planet and still ieav millions of
cubic feet for crois pieces to bolt the
caflold together. '
And whore did all this lumber go? In
Mdition to the vasfamount which went
into boards, inmo than l.OOO.OOO.OOO feet
ro censiimiid in t'-ncv mils, posts and
iegraph poles; 118.0V.OOO it, mostly
while nil., went into ties fvr the rall-
in it
tele
roads, 165.000,000 cubic feet wore usrd for
timbering mines and l,a",0.0iO cords of
wood were turned Into alcohol. Many
million 'eotxls of firewood were burnt. A
vast amount of timber was used for
staves and heads of barrels, and enough
barrel hoops were turned out to give
five to every man, woman and child In
the United States and leave some to
spare.
We used more than 3,000.000 cords of
native wood in our paper mills; this was
mainly spruce and hemlock, and millions
went into notions of one kind or other.
The tookpick, for instance, is little more
than a splinter, but we have one factory
In Maine which . makes 500,000.i00 of. them
every year. We have other places which
turn out clothespins and wooden spools
by the hundreds of millions. Several
hundred, acres of forests are annually
burnt up as matches and more than 3,000
acres are cut Into shoe pegs In the spaoe
of twelve months. And then, there Is tho
enormous amount that fcocs Into furni
ture, and into carts, carriages and cars
of all kinds. The shingles, most of which
come from the far west, are 3.700,000.000
in number, and the laths are four times
as great. There Is a steady Increase in
all of these products, so that the lumber
we are using is beyond conception enor
mous. All told, it sells for something
like 11,300.000,000 a year; and tho business
of getting it out and putting it on the
market annually .employs more than 1.0C0,
000 men, who reccivo over $100,000,000 in
wHges.
Cnclo Sam Warns Against Wast.
Tills consumption Is enough to make us
pause Rnd wonder where we shall get our
wood for the future. This is one of the
warnings of Uncle Sam, patriarch, who
Is doing all he can to cut down the waste.
In the national forests, of which I write
more further on, he has his men on the
lookout Mr fires, and he gives plans for
cutting and raring for any private forests
so that the woods may last longer. Any
man who owns trees can get plans from
the forestry service as to how to treat
them, .and the government will send him
experts. Applications for such assistance
have been already received from owners
of 10.0o0.000 acres, and in some places
only the ripe trees are now cut, and the
owners ere studying how to keep out the
fires.
It Is estimated by the Department of
Agriculture that, if the private owners
will co-operate, the forests of the south
ern pine belt can be patrolled for 2 cents
per acre per year, and that the northern
forests, can be watched at a cost of 4
cents per acre, while the Rocky moun
tains and Pacific coast forests would cost
much less. They estimate that all the
forests in private hands could be pro
tected from fires for less than $M),O00,C0)
per year, and thus result in a sating ot
far more than that in the value of the
timber, and in tho preservation of the
young trees for the future.
The government Is .doing all it can to
cut down the waste; It sends out advice
to the lumbermen as to bow to handle the
timber and to the managers of the saw
mills as to the best kinds of machinery.
Many of the railroad ties art now hewed
out .with an axe; If cut with the saw, this
alone will save more than 280,000,000 cubic
feet of wood every year. About two
thirds of the wood in trees chopped down
for lumber Is lost, and a large part of
that Intended for mine timbers, cooperage
and piles goes to waste. The govern
ment gives advice as to treatment of
timber in order to keep out the huiects
and rot. The insects annually destroy
more than 8,flOO,000,008 cuhlo feet; but this
may be prevented by snaking the timber
in chemicals. The aine method Is used
against rot, something like 1,400,000,000
feet of boards being so treated last year.
We are now using about 60,000.000 gallons
of creosote and 19,000,000 pounds of zinc
chloride for this purpose.
As to lotses by fire, they are still of
enormous extent. From 10 to MBtf they
averaged $;0.0no,000 per annum. Of all
the private forests not more than 1 per
cent has now an efficient system of fire
protection, and only the largest of the
private owners keep a forest fire patrol.
The government estimates that about
one-fourth of all the timber lodged out
in the forest goes to waste. This comes
from careless cutting, tho leaving .uf
Isrge ttumpn and the not using the tops
and branches. In the mills the thick
gang saw blades turn a great deal of
lumber to dust, and it 1" calculated that
if thin saws took their places, the caving
would be more than 2,000.000,000 board feet
per annum.
Another feature of the government work
Is the treatment ef the turpentine farms.
The turpentine comus from the resinous
gum which oozes out of the scarred pine
tree Into a luile. cut at the foot of th
trunk, called a box. This cutting, year
after year, soon kills the tree. Now, In
plo.ee. of the box, tin troughs are fast
ened below the scars and a elay jar
catches the gum.
Uncle Sum's scientists say that there
Is an enormous amount of turpeutine in
the refuse of the sawmills of the south,
and that this might be saved, yielding
about a'.Mo.o) Rations a year, or a value
of more than II0.Oi0.000.
The chief work of the forestry bureau,
however. Is taking caro of the national
forests: tliec are of enormous extent,
and they are growing In value eaelt yeal :
they now cover L'O.OOo.000 acres. In round
.numbers they are about cquul to eight

states as big as Kentucky or Virginia,
end they have more than 600,000,000,000
board feet of merchantable timber. At
this estimate they contain about one
tenth f the woods which covered the
United States at the time it began to be
settled and, going back to our homely
comparison, contain enough lumber to
make a board walk a foot wide from here
to the sun.
Tlie value of these government wood
lands canost be overestimated. .Mr. Clif
ford Plnchot once said they were worth
more titan Il'.OOO. W0. 000 and that the stand
ing timber upon them is worth close to
1. 000,000,000. lie said that the forests
ought to eventually bring in n income
ot about 1(1,000,600 a year by cutting only
the ripe and .dead and down timber, and
at the same time ,yield . some additional
revenue from the lands used for grazing.
These forests will grow in value and tn
the amount of wood which they contain,
so that when our private forests ore cut
away they will give us. the lumber of the
future. In addition, they control the
sources of our rivers and are the basts of
the .water supply ot those regions. It Is
also estimated that the waterfalls In the
woods are equal to 15,000,800 horsepower.
They will some time be harnessed on
leases made by .the .government and will
thereby add to the revenue.
The forest men tell rue that the work of
patrolling Uncle Kam'a woods Is being
rapidly extended, and especially alnoe
the terrible fires of last year. Ho far
about i.000 jnilss ot roads and 16.000 miles
of trails have been cut. Fire lines are
being built and a system of telephone
lines has been .put up, connecting the
ranger headquarters with the lookout
stations.
Each of the forests Is divided up Into
districts about six miles square and every
district Is In charge of a ranger, who
goes to his Kxt in May and stays until
tho rains bugln In October. These rangers
carry their own supplies, comprising a
tent, rifle and plenty of ammunition and
food. At present there are about 1,200
men who act as rangers, and there are
forest guards numbering 6ti0. There are
also hunters aud trappers, making alto
gether a corps ot about 2,600 men in active
cliarge of the national forests. In addi
tion there are something like U scientists
and clerks, who aro employed here in
Washington and at the district head
quarters. The number ot men In charge of tbe
forests nhould be Increased. As It is now
there Is only one man for every 100,000
acres, lx?ra 1'rusoia a man for every
1.700 aurea, and liaden one for every 7M
acres.
T-r'le Millions in KmoUr .
The lack of men was avident in . the
fires of last year; they occurred at the
end of the drouth, beginning In June and
reaching their climax In August. Con
gress had appropriated tb00,X for pro
testing the woods, but this was not
enough, and although the War depart
ment aided by sending troops, and the
railroad companies, lumber companies and
private Individuals alno co-operated, tbe
fires spread over an sjoa of more than
3,000,00 acres and killed something like
7,000,000.000 feat ot merchantable lumber.
The oamages ore sold to have ueen over
$2o,)00,000 and tho cosw of fighting tite
fires were a little more than $I,0.000.
Altcgxther there were 4.4WO different
fires in the national forebts lust year,
and most of lhm were extinguished by
the forest rangers. Tbe greatest fires oc
curred In northern Idaho, whera within
twenty-four hours aftvr starting there
were practically continuous flames for
over 100 miles. In these. fires sevanty-six
of the officials of -ths foreatry service
were killed and a large number Injured.
Some of tbe fires came from lightning,
others from camp-fires and soma from
locomotives of the trains which went
through the WoudM. ,
Uncle Sam Is now cutting considerable
lumber In tbe national forests. The
amount cut last year was more than
4o0,000,000 feet, board . measure, much of
it being sold on the stump at 13.44 per
thousand, guch receipts are rapidly ap
proximating 12,000,000 per annum, and they
promise to be one of the Income-bringing
branches of the government. Nearly all
the great nations of Europe are now
making money out of their state forests.
In Franco the lumber sold brings in
J5, 000,000 a year, and In Austria the re
ceipts are still greater. The forests of
India are under government control and
are yielding about J3.00O.O0O per annum,
while wide-awake little Japan Is getting
11,000,000 each year from the wood sold
by the government.
But it is not alone In' the lumber sold
that the forestry bureau is saving us
money. The fires of ' 1910 would have
caused an incalculable loss had It not
been for the rangers and the organised
system of tire protection.
Indeed, It is estimated that the forestry
service in worth to the government at
lesst $75,000,000 a year. Of this about one
third comes from the improvement of the
woodlands, another third from the saving
of young trees and prevention ot fires,
