THE CHIEF FORESTER’S REPORT.
Mr. Henry S. Graves, chief forester j
of the United States and head of the ,
forestry bureau of the Department of j
Agriculture, is certainly an optimist, ■
says an exchange. His latest report,
covering the fiscal year 1912-13,
spreads a cheerful aspect over some
very depressing figures. This is done
by holding out "hope for the meat
supply.”
“The forage resources of the na
tional forests,” says the report, "con
tribute to the maintenance of more
than 20,000,000 head of live stock.”
It further shows “sales of 2,000,000,
000 feet of timber,” out of a possi
ble 6,000,000,000 feet, a cut, however,
of only 500,000,000 feet; revenues of
“slightly less than $2,500,000” and ex
penditures of “a little more than $4,
600,000.”
Analyzing the statement concern
ing forage, and granting that it is
true, it is proper to remark that there
are 40,000,000 acres of forests in
western Washington, Oregon and in
Alaska that contribute nothing to the
maintenance of any live stock what
ever. The forage areas are in the
dry or partially dry belts of the
country where the timber resources
are small, compared with those areas
which are without forage for live
stock—the 40,000,000 acres mentioned
above.
. Taking up the figures, and making
all allowance for the indefinite
phraseology in the “little more than”
arid “slightly less than” qualifying
clauses which characterize the feder- I
al forest bureau reports, and three j
facts remain.
The service sold one-third of its |
own estimate of the crop on long- i
time sales, the bulk of them going!
to the large lumbering concerns. It!
cut but one-twelfth of what the bu- j
reau itself gives as the proper es
timate of annual n|pw growth. In
other words, it took off the ground j
but 8 per cent of what the ground ■
produced.
The year’s administration of this j
estate—an area of national forests j
in the aggregate as large as all Ger- j
many—produced another deficit for j
the fiscal year of “a little more than”
$2,100,000, a total deficit since 1908
of “about” $14,900,000.
What no service report has ever
shown is a comparison between field
and office expenditures, nor has thare,
ever been an exact itemized state-,
ment of any kind printed. The finan-1
cial operations of the service are ■
placed before the country in a hazy,1
indefinite form which would never be i
tolerated coming from any private in- j
stitution or any other government i
bureau. •
Like all previous reports, this one
clouds the real issue, as to whether
or not forestry pays-or ever will pay,
by indulging in cheap buncombe!
about the “future of the meat sup- i
ply.”
To get down to dollars and cents, j
however, why do the national forests j
produce nothing but deficits?
