IForestr~y as a ci'op calls to nThei fitteds that these' Mimi fj 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 rates of inter'est, and since public, activities ar e not generally condfuceo; for profit, it, appears that these agen- cies should he the in it itom's of Ierne forestry practic'e in the United Stat en.
