1796 Canadian Foresfry Journal, July, 1918 Boy Scouts Search Out Black Walnut Washington.—President Wilson's appeal to the Boy Scouts of America to help win the war by locating sup- plies of black walnut trees has been followed by arrangements under which the War Department, the Forest Service, and the Boy Srout or- ganization have joined elTorts to find the needed timber. As President Wilson pointed out, the War Department program makes the securing of black walnut lumber for use in manufacturing airplane propellers and gunstocks of the utmost importance. War Department and Forest Service officials are combing the country for black walnut timber, which can no longer be found in abundance anywhere but has to be cidled, often as single trees, from mixed forest growths. Much of the black walnut that is left is in far- mers' woodlots, and it is primarily to locate this that the Boy Scouts have been called into service. In the aggregate, there are said to be large supplies. Settlement Problems After the War The relation between the forests and settlement is a queslion involving many interests, and is one not easy of solution. The need for land for •settlement after the war will make it necessary to devote every possil^le piece of land to agricaltural purposes, but on the other hand the financial demands for the war will make it ad\ isable and necessary to protect the public forest property, and ensure that the forest on non-agri- cultural land is retained and brought into best producing condition. This is a question which cannot be decided from the point of view of either interest solely, and which shows the necessity of co-operation between the agricultural and forestry interests for the development of an agricultural and forest survey of the country such as will determine the best general lines of development for each district.
