PAGE SIX WALKING WATERS (Continued from page 8) ■bed*? The soil la like a reser voir. Water is stored between the soil particles. Rain, upon reaching: the ground, either soaks into the earth or runs downhill to the nearest stream. Over hard, barren soil it flows rapidly, as it Would down a paved city street, slicing off the top layers of soil on its agitated journey to the low lands. On the other hand, in well-protected' woods, it is another story. The forest floor looks pass ive, but it is dramatically alive. It is teeming with a myriad of microscopic life and tiny ani mals! Their combined action in decomposing fallen leaves, branches, bark and loosening up the soil particles is tremen dous. As anyone who has .walk ed in ungrazed woods knows, there ‘is 'a soft loose, sponge like forest floor beneath the trees. This mat greedily traps the water that falls upon it. The roots of the vegetation act like sheathing which tenacious ly holds the soil in place, and also like pines to conduct the water into the deeper layers of the soil. The leaves of the vege tation, and especially the,litter on the ground, cushion the hammering effect of the rain drops keeping them from splashing the soil particles about and dogging up the mil- of tiny channels that lead to underground storage. In addition, the trees and other plants cast shadows that aid in reducing the rate of snow-melting and evaporation thus giving the water more time to percolate into the soil. The plants use some of the wat er retained in the soil to live. But much of it works its way down into the ground to event ually replenish the cool springs, the streams, rivers, wells, lakes, and finally the oceans.

'To accomodate our ever increasing population, our towns and cities must expand. With this growth, the demand for water for agriculture, in dustry and honie use has sky rocketed at an unpredicted rate. But before we can use it, our water must first fall upon the land. The condition and treatment of the land from which it comes determines the quality and amount of water that is produced. In the world- : famed Hydrological Laboratory : at Coweeta, near Franklin, : North Carolina, the U. S. For- ; est Service is studying the be haviour of water. This new knowledge is being put to work as rapidly as it is made avail able. However, the national con cern over water supplies is not new. As early as 1890 the U. S. Congress appropriated $2,000 for the ‘Division of Forestry, now the U. S. Forest Service, “for experiments in the pro duction of rain.’’ Dr. B. E. Fernow, then Chief of the Division, recognized that man agement of the already avail able water supplies was inten sely important. In his annual report of 1891 he stated, “before even attemp ting the control o f precipita tion, our studied in the opin ion of the writer, should be directed to secure better man agement of the water supplies as they are precipitated and become available by natural causes.’’ He concluded, "With out forest management, no ra tional water management pos sible.’’ Congress gave further recog nition to the fact that the for ests are among our best water regulators when in 1911, it ) Continued on page 7 (Continued from page 8) Gouge, Mrs. Sim, 10 A, 9.08 Gouge, Ouie, 1 % A. 11-33 GttWK.Rflfld, 40 A.
