the comparison between agriculture
rnml forestry, which is not at all fiis-
leading. BothI forester and farmer
depcnd upon sun, soil and climate for
the success of his clite ririse. In each
caethe crop is improved both in
duality and quantity by care and ill-
telligent management. There are,
however, differences. TPhe farm ('ropl)
is usually plantedl and( harvested with
in a single year. Hlf a century or
more may elapse between the planting
and harvesting of the forest. A farm-j
er must harvest his corn and wheat
at a certain definite time each year.
Most, of the farm products are more
or less perishable and cannot b~e held1
over long periods without serious
deterioration. Thie forest tree dloes
not needl to be cut at a definite age.
A forest owner may deciide to hold a
given piece of timber beyond the
ripening age in order to await higher
lumnber prices. He(can (10 this and-
su iffer very little in consequence; the
farmer cannot. or he may decide tol
cuit at the ripening age and hold the
lumnber for higher prices. Ilie can
alsio do this, because, when properly
stoired, luniber can be held for con-
siderable tuinn withbout serious odam,
ae. In this way the forest owner
has greater latiitude in his selling
practice than, has the farmer, and can
Anotlwer duty of the forester is the
. harve sting; of his tree crop when itI
is ripe. At this time he must,5111)'r
intend H ie cutting operation. Hie ole-j
tidles wvhich trees are mature and
ready to be cut., because those trees
g hat: are not yet, ipeIImiuist be saved
for another time, life must 'make sure
that the method's used ini the harvest.-1
ig operation are such that. thoseI
trees left st anding ton the area shall
not, be insured or de:troyed.
Thme forest ;schools of our edumotrye
are training men to perform these ;
duties, but there is one invalluablel
characteristic that an idleal fores,,ter
munist possess, and'one which no school
or collegt canl give hime.IHe must
' possess a -personality that will 'attratct
people to him. This personality mutt>
nimake p~eople want t~o (10'his will, even'
I against their own wishes, for if our
coun try is to enjoy timber prosperity
in the fture many reforms must "be:
!wrought in our lprEsent methods 01'
handling this valuable natural re-
sou rce. The forester's vision plus1
that; tact amnd personality must. change
these methods. It is truly a great
task.
At present there is; very little real
forestry practiced in the 'United
states. lFormnerly great areas of our
t ouinlry were covered with fully
grown timbler waiting foir the axe. The
axe was p~romiptlhy applied andl great
areas were stripped of thieir forests.:
Ores, oil, and coal are natural re-
sour ce that are exhaustible and not
replaceable. Forests aire exhiaustible,
but rep~laceable if priopern cutting lprac-
tice is followed. Modern lumber'ing
governments can borrow money at low
