Causes and Losses by Fire in California Planing Mills

The following interesting figures, showing the cause and amount of loss by fire, in planing mills in California, last year, are from Mr. Tad W. Jacobs, Los Angeles manager for the Lumbermen's Reciprocal Association, writers of Workmen's Compensation Insurance. These figures are taken from figures submitted by all carriers.

The Mother of "King Water"

Because of its beneficent influence through irrigation and hydro-electric power in developing new homes and industries of great western regions, it has often been said that water is King of the West.

It follows, then, that the Queen Regent, mother of King Water, is the forest on the highest mountainside where our western streams are born.

Pour a glass of water on a sloping piece of tin. Notice how the water rushes down the side in a flood. Cover the tin with a large desk blotter and repeat the experiment. The water is held by the blotter and trickles ofi slowly.

The forested hillside, or Nature's blotter, is a natural reservoir. ft receives the rain and snow, and gives it out little by little in the form of steady streamflow. Water falling on a barren hillside rushes off in a flood, carrying with it soil, rocks, and debris. This erosion clogs reservoirs and irrigation ditches, damages electric power plants, pollutes home drinking water, and at times even hinders navigation.

So it is seen that watershed protection is a very important part of forestry; also, that young tree growth and underbrush which has no value for timber or recreation. mav still play a very important part in watershed protection, as is well illustrated in the mountains of California.

A striking object lesson of the results of forest destruction may be found in the barren hills, once forested, of China, Southeastern Europe, and Asia Minor, and their relation to the famine, floods, and destitution of those regions.
