Prof. Mulford on California Forests

Professor Walter Mulford, who is at the head of the Forestry Department of the University of California, has been made Chairman of the committee of scientists to rvhich the California Development Association has entrusted the important job of working out a long-time forest policy for California to follow-

This committee met for the firsttime recently, and in addressing them Prof. Mulford made the follorving remarks concerning the importance to California of her forests, and of a forest policy:

Agriculture, California's greatest industry, is dependent to an unusual degree on the maintenance of a good forest cover on the mountain slopes.

California's forests are highly important in their control of the flow of water. They constitute one of the most effective means of checking floods and holding back reserves of water for slow distribution throulh the dry season.

The forest is the most efiective agent in preventing erosion, particularly in Southern California.

It supplies good health and good fun to hundrecls of thousancls of Californians annually.

A proper forest cover is highly efficient in conserving water for power purposes, and for irrigation.

Properly managed, the forest afiords forage to cattle and sheep a portion of the year, thereby materially increasing the output of meat, leather and rvool.

Adequate .ivilcl life conservation is impossible rvithout the protection afforded by forests.

Much of the beauty of California is dependent upon her forests.

A continuous supply of reasonably-priced lumber is, obviously, vital-including lumber for containers in which to ship high-grade agricultural products for great distances, and lumber for all classes of building and construction rvork.

It is worthy of note that in California, more than in any other part of this country, the lumbermen are assisting in the perpetuation of the forests, and in keen syrnpathy n'ith every practical movement for their protection.

(Continued from Page 12) the association in the year the president made a plea for a rrnited industry, and predicted that those mills that had rvithdrawn from membership rvould come back to the folcl again.
