It destroys the homes ot the birds and soon they get fall of insects and caterpillars. We should protect our forests be, cause it is the assay of the land. It destroys the soil because it Is made of dead leaves. This is called leaf moled. Tourists come from all over the world to shoot grizzle bear, deer, etc., this keeps our railroads going. The value of our forest costs a lot, it is not like other forests. It there was no trees why when the people light their tlres, why the wind would blow all over the places, starting another big fire, causing mil. lions of deaths and millions of dol. lam. There was one tree that wide as when a man stood couldn't reach the top. If the forest Is burned up the coun- try looks as it there was a tire there for about two months. The campers would light a tire and would go away and leave it going. It would so forth and forth until the whole ot the forest would be u flamed. There are many kinds of trees such as the Jack pine, Bull pine, Douglas tir, poplar, birch, hemlock, cedar, maple, cottonwood, pulpwood. etc. The trees keep the soil from rush- ing down the water. It the forest is destroyed by fire makes the place dissolute. Beautiful scenery is aftorded by tourists. The maple you use for sugar and without sugar you would die. The value of our forest is worth more than are assets. Now the for- eats make the beauty of the country more nicer. China Is the horrible example of [reeleu hills.

If there's a tire on the train line you burn a piece of land on each side of the lines and then you can ‘prevent them. Hunters would not have much to do and would have to do something else tor a living. They would be no animals for the tire would kill them all. If it did not kill them they would die of hunger and thirst. Very long ago the lumber on the prairies was so thick that they thought they could never use it up and now they let the tire roam allover.

The man who rides in a car with ambition for motor has a good engine, but to avoid catastrophe he needs a road map and strong controls.
