The gradual extension of ethical criteria to economic relationships is an historical fact. Economic criteria did not suffice to adjust men to society; they do not now suffice to adjust society to its environment. If our present evolutionary impetus is an upward one, it is ecologically probable that ethics will eventually be extended to land. The present conservation movement may constitute the beginnings of such an extension. If and when it takes place, it may radically modify what now appear as insuperable economic obstacles to better land-use.

In view of the foresters' interest in the national lumber code, an analysis of the Code of Fair Competition for the Lumber and Timber Products Industries, is given in this article. President Roosevelt personally supervised the provisions of the code, relating to forest conservation. They are regarded as signally promoting the general introduction of practical conservation in private forest management.

Tree planting, in this country, has always held a preeminent place in public thought over other forestry measures, but in actual practice has lagged rather far behind. Within recent years, a steadily growing acreage of cut over lands and abandoned farms has centered national attention on forestation measures as a means of utilizing idle and unproductive areas. The restoration of a forest cover on gullied abandoned farm lands has, however, been advocated by many authorities, since these lands are, as a rule, in such a depleted condition that they probably can not again be used for crops other than timber.
