The national forests are capable of producing indefinitely over six billion feet of timber each year. This may be increased to eight or ten billion. Every thousand feet of such timber which is cut pays to the community at least $8 in wages and $2 or more for merchandise. When market conditions make it possible' to utilize the full annual yield of these areas, the industries which it will support will distribute at least sixty million dollars every year for labor and supplies in the communities ...in and near the national forests. Furthermore, this industrial develop- ment will be permanent. Oftentimes local communities are practically the sole beneficiaries of this policy. The sparsely timbered forests NATURAL RESOURCES 87 of southern California are maintained almost exclusively for the protection of streams used for local irrigation and power development. This protection is known to the people of that region to be vital to the maintenance of the water upon which practically their entire agriculture and horti- culture depend.
