Not only Is wood indespensable to our daily life, but the forrsu play an important role in regulating stream flow, thereby reducing ibn sevr-ity of flood and preventing erosion. For these reasons the prcserva lion of forests lias ceased to lw a prob em of private or individual concern, but has become a governmental problem, on which it controlled bv the national gov eminent and the state governments joint I).

Be eiJes, tlir present ratr of cutting is far exceeding thr annual grnwili. Tbr onlv logical conclusion to draw from this state of affairs if tbr present rate of con- gumption continue. is a timber shortage in to Sat as the most valuable wood are concerned. But the forests not onU supply us with wood. In thr mountains ttiey con trol our itreama, vitally affect the indus tries depending upon water power, re duce the severity of fLods and erosion and, in this av are intimately urappeil up ith our treat agricultural interests. For these reasons the forests should br conserved. In agriculture the influ ence of thr farm rarely rvtends beyond the owner's fence. If b) poor methods he usm up the ferlilily of bis farm, it does not affect the fertil ity of Ills neighbor "s lands. But in for rsiry rhij is not so. Thr sins of llir mountains arr visited upon ihr valleys. Erosion is one of the niost eriuu dan gers that threatens our farms both by transput ling fertile soil and by covering the bottom lands with sand, gratel and debris. Farm uplands are cashed away or eroded by high oatrr and lu'jh hater Is largely caused by the destruction of the forests on the mountain slopes. With the forests removed there U nothing to obstruct ihr flow of water donn the mountain sides. The most effective means for preventing the erosion and destruc tion of our farm land is by the wise use of the forests at thr headwaters of the expected of them in this economio re construction. Trade between the United State and South America has been reported three times as great in 1919 as in 1913, but figures are tricly. Remembering the value of tbe dollar in 1913 and noting that the report is based on money' and not on bulk of merchandise, it will be seen that South American trade his rut increased so much as it might at first appear. Considered as part of the whole trade of the United States, Latin-America comes a long way after Europe and Sc.ulli American counts for no morr than 10 er cent. The United Stales does more trade with Newfoundland and Canada than with tbe whole of South America even at war inflated figures. It is sur priiinr that the trade of the United Mates with the. rich Latin American countries has not been developed upon a much more ample scale. Certain it is that we need no more barriers raised against .South ""American import such as a protectee tariff. It hill mean the sacrifice of South Amrri can trade to Great Britain if we do not do alt in our jiotirr to encourage trade to the south of u. rather than place ob structions in the way.
