"Fires have destroyed untold millions of dollars worth of tim ber," he said, "not only by killing Ihe large trees but by destroying seedlings and thereby preventing reforestation where new growth was badly needed. "I'lanting and extension forest ry and farm forestry." Kedden con tinued, "are just as important as lire protection. It is essential to proper reforestation that a planned program be carried oul in order that the right type of timber may be produced in a cer tain section. In addition, by plant ing the seedlings, new varieties may be introduced in an area with better results than is realized from letting nature lake its course. "I believe that if we are to have normal production of timber in Ibis country," Hep. Hedden said, "It is essential that we have re forestation on a scientific basis. The farmers are willing to co operate because they realize the importance of such a program." Want Ads bring quick results.
