This is a marked advance over the 1920 rate but the figures must be terpreted cautiously. With the great ly increased knowledge of the disease, better means of diagnosis, etc., it probably means merely that we are discovering a larger percentage of the existing cases than ever before. It should also remind us that with all these newer and better methods of diagnosis we should be getting cases earlier and in time to effect a cure.

Moreover, as the rate of tim ber growth is equal to only two-thirds of the amount of wood consumed, the total supply is continually shrinking. "The most pressing forest problem from a world standpoint is the neces sity of providing adequate future sup plies of soft-woq^l timber," states the This can be done by using all, of the forest land for the continuous production of timber crops. At pres ent only 10 to 15 per cent of the world's timberland, is so handled, the rest being regarded as a mine val uable only for the timber now stand ing on it. This new book which is not publish ed by the Government, confirms the earlier statements of the Department of Agriculture, that this country can not depend upon imports of the great, all purpose softwoods when its own supply is gone. .. book.
