Preserve Remains of Forests.
In the matter of scientific forestry this country, under the stress of stern necessity, is making an energetic but sadly belated effort to repair the consequences of a century's folly and extravagance. The loss can never be made entirely good, but governmental effort and the activity of private interests, large and small, can prevent such a national disaster as will certainly and speedily follow continued inroads upon the forest with no attention given to renewing them.—Cleveland Plain Dealer
