England is planning to plant 1,770,000 acres of new forest reserve.

This body of timber when ready for cutting, would be sufficient to supply her home needs in time of emergency for at least three years.

France is enlarging her forest nurseries and protecting her timber in every possible way.

Even Russia, a country with huge forest tracts, is beginning to practice conservation.

Russia now requires that all timber cut under concession shall be replaced by plantings of trees.
For many years, the United States and China were the greatest wasters of forest resources under the sun.
