A6 FUNDS FOR FOREST * PROTECTION LRGED Body Headed by Forestry! : Group, President Confers With Hyde. Adequate forest protection appropri- ations in 1932 would make the large | emergency sums, amounting to $3.300,- 000, voted by the present Congress un- necessary, George D. Pratt, president of “the American Forestry Association has informed Secretary of Agriculture Hyde, Jaccording to a statement issued by the assoclation yesterday. With a group representing forestry, lumber and farm organizations, Mr. Pratt met with Secre- *‘tary Hyde recently to discuss forestry appropriations Por the year beginning July 1, 1931, Mr. Pratt urged, appropriations for the various phases of forest protection con- ducted by the Department of Agricul- ture should approximate $9,000,000 “The machinery of the Federal Govern- ment and of the several states is now | in a position to use this amount of money efficiently,” he added. The need of this amount is shown dramatically in last year's fire record, according to Mr. Pratt, who points out that the fires of 1929 exceeded those of 1928 in area burned and in the value of timber consumed. The area exceeded that of the previous year by two-and- one-half miilion acres and the economic loss by $20,000,000, bringing the total estimate of damage to more than $100,~ 000,000. The amount named, said Mr. Pratt would provide a small increase for funds o be used in preventing and suppress- ing fires on national forests. It would bring the fund for protection improve- ments of national forests equal to those authorized in the Englebright bill, which received the approval of the Bureau of the Budget. although it has not yet been favorably acted upon by Congress. It would increase by $400,000 the funds available to the State foresters and would leave only $400,000 between the actual appropriation and the authoriza- tion as carried in the Clarke-McNary law. ‘The representatives of the organiza- tions who conferred with the Secretar: of Agriculture on forestry approp: tions included George D. Pratt, pres dent of The American Forestry Associa- tion; W M. Ritter of the National Lum- ber Manufacturers’ Association, Prof. Ralph 8. Hosmer, Department of Fores- try of Cornell University; Col.
