OOD forestry which seeks to keep
American forests continuously at
work growing successive timber crops
is just one long battle with FIRE, say
most foresters.
Nature is bountiful, trees reproduce
and grow rapidly, thrive to maturity
quickly on lands which have been cut
over, if seed sources and young seed-
lings are not consumed and the land
rendered sterile by forest enemy Num-
ber one — EIRE.
Devastated forest areas are
the result of repeated fire.

It's common sense to be
thrifty. If you save you are
thrifty. War Bonds help you
to save and help to save
America. Buy your ten per
