Ife said that I might try it

Bhc was nauseated and
couldn’t cat or rest. She be

T' 1 unbar should ii«conc a luxury

Aork .date college of forestry at Sv

■ " life. C| v ivnvl.l would wag
the ... -v;-u thr-'i snecial
ntve.-t • of v-’nity and pampered pal
ates.
1 he forc-stv, however, and the pre
' tha.t r-oree from the forests are
at the ha-e of many of our most im
portant indueCinl an I intellectual
- They figure in the life of
‘■verv individual importantly. "Forest
products are needed by the noor as
woll as .the'.rich. Thev are about 1.000
different uses for wood. The employ
ment of wood is so universal that it
has been said on good authority that
civilization would fall withoip the
fore?*?.
Neither the rich nor the noor could
do without wood. Home, office, trans
portation .communication, education,
clothing, health and food supplies are
close]v related to the use of wood and
lie offices performed by the forests.
H timber should become a luxury it;
would bring about a serious situation
in t' is country. It would hit hard the
people n; the United States, because,
since the Pilgrims landed we have
been the largest individual users of
wood.
The cost of lumber has advanced
beyond th“ average of all other com
modities. The supply is dwindling
rapidly, which means that the cost of
lumber will continue to increase, hunt*
,'r‘r ’H being used four times faster
than it is grown in the United States
anil 20 times faster than it is grown
in New 5 iirk state. The supply of vir
gin timber is sufficient for 25 years
at our present rate of consumption.
The pro rata use of wood is becoming
le.ss hy the force of necessity, but it
cannot he reduced much further with
out inflicting hardship upon the peo
ple. Unless provision is made imme
diately for new forests, wood will not
only became a luxury but it will re
main a luxury for many generations.
