Idaho's Primitive Area

              Idaho Primitive Area. September 13/31 On large, new apre of the United States you may now see green colored ot large patches marked National Forests in the eastern and central sections where such areas were not marked before. Such are the White Mountains, Shenandoah, Pine Ridge, Arkansas and Superior National Forests situated in New Hampshire, Virginia, North Carolina, Arkansas and Minnesota respectively.The number of these is slowly increasing as the states and the nation acquire cut-over timber lands and take up the task of reforestation. If any one of these states could have back a million acres in one body of the original primeval forest what a wonderful event that would be. As it is they mush clear up the wreckage of wasteful exploitation and patiently await future growth. It has been an expensive lesson but by it the nation learned to hold onto and conserve the forests of the west.
