McGovern For Multiple Use

Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern has called for "expansion of the cooperative programs that unite private, state, and federal efforts to help nature rebuild the forests of this country."

Candidate McGovern feels the country can accomplish this on the 6O percent of the forest land that is in small holdings by (l) intensified protection of forests from insects and disease; (2) incentives to encourage small for. est landowners to pmtect and improve their lands by providing public funds to develop public benefits from the millions of acres of productive for. ests; (3) improved fire protection.
