As a matter of fact we do not know when it was abandoned. Further investigation might point to its having been deserted when the Spanish village of San Geronimo was founded. However, I believe students of agriculture will agree with me that deforestation, increased erosion, and aggrading gravel banks probably drove the folk out of Saylla.
I have wired him to send some samples of marsh pulp, and the paper we've had made from it." "Marsh pulp," repeated Mr. Stevens. "That's a new one on me. What's it like?" "Greatest stunt on earth," replied Sam confidently. "It is our scheme to meet the deforestation danger on the way coming." Already he was reaching in his pocket for paper and pencil, and sat down again at the side of Mr.
"I question whether the sirocco was as obnoxious in olden days as now, otherwise the ancients, who had absurdly sensitive skins, would have complained of it more frequently. The deforestation of Northern Africa, I suspect, has much to do with it. Frenchmen are now trying to revive those prosperous conditions which Mohammedanism has destroyed. Oh, yes!
Looking at it from above, it certainly resembles an old river-bed of about five hundred yards in breadth, and I hold it possible that the deforestation of the higher lands may have suffocated the original sources with soil carried down from thence, and forced them to seek a lower level, thus shortening the stream and reducing its volume of water. But who shall decide?
Masseth leaned over toward Wilbur and whispered: "You don't have to go as far away as China. There are some terrible cases of deforestation right here in the United States."
I choose that because we both know that sector, but I could think of a hundred other examples in other paratime areas. Those people, because of deforestation, bad agricultural methods and general mismanagement, are eroding away their arable soil at an alarming rate. At the same time, they are breeding like rabbits.
There are small sections of our own country, in the East and the West, in the Adriondacks, the White Mountains, and the Appalachians, and in the Rocky Mountains, where we can already see for ourselves the damage in the shape of permanent injury to the soil and the river systems which comes from reckless deforestation.
It matters not whether this deforestation is due to the actual reckless cutting of timber, to the fires that inevitably follow such reckless cutting of timber, or to reckless and uncontrolled grazing, especially by the great migratory bands of sheep, the unchecked wandering of which over the country means destruction to forests and disaster to the small home makers, the settlers of limited means.
Two young members of the outlaw gang which defied the cattle man and threatened the Forest Service. Example of laborious artificial terracing in China to save the little soil remaining. Final results of deforestation in Tennessee, due to cutting and to fumes from a copper smelter.
Another shows a pebbly river-bed in southern Manchuria where what was once a great stream has dried up owing to the deforestation in the mountains. Only some scrub wood is left, which will disappear within a half century.
