Book excerpt: Excerpt from Explanatory Notes of Increases, Decreases, and Changes in Language in the Budget of the Department of Agriculture for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 1938, and of Work Done Under Each of the Appropriation Items Forest lands, with the national forests as a nucleus, continue to play a vital part in national recovery and to build toward permanent economic prosperity. Public recognition of this fact is increasingly clear; Opportunities increasingly great. The program of the Forest Service is thus definitely in the public interest. One-tenth of the land area of the United States is entrusted to its care in the national forests. One - third of all our lands is chiefly valuable for forest purposes. With respect to the privately - owned timber lands of the country, the Forest Service must maintain a position of aggres sive leadership to the end that these lands may contribute permanently and most fully to a sound and stable economic and social structure. This is particularly true in those regions where large areas of private timber hold lugs are intermingled with or contiguous to national - forest timber and where Special effort is urgently necessary to bring about sustained yield manage ment over the entire working circles thus involved. The protection and administration of the national forests are still woefully undermanned - the Opportunities which they afford for constructive public service still largely undeveloped. The increase requested in this section of our budget constitutes only limited provision for new additions to the system and a step toward meeting some of the most urgent needs on the older national - forest units. The investment in essential permanent improvements on the national forests has been increased rapidly during the past two years. Increased maintenance charges natura ly result. And yet, to make these great properties fully accessible to protection and public use, the systems of roads, trails, telephone lines, and various other facilitating improve ments must still be greatly extended. Three million of our people visited or passed through the national forests in 1917, and in 1937 that number will exceed fifty million; and many million of these come specifically to use and enjoy the forests, to draw upon them for rest, relaxation, health, and spiritual and mental well - being. These people must be protected and served in many ways. For example, without improved, protected, and super vised camping areas, this enormous visitation would quickly become a menace to public health and property.
