It does consist in forests themselves, but in mountains themselves that the source of water is nourished, and forests have only one important function filtering the rain-water by their ground cover. The source of water in the mountain land will be dried up by the destruction of the ground cover, and the function storing water in forests, is not statical but dynamic. Moreover, forests have the function of soil consummation, and it will be proper that the balance of the mountain-side is supported by the ground cover, though the thick bed of soil maintained beneath the forests, has the possibility of the land slide by supporting the permeating function of the rain-water, humidifying the bed of soil. This is the very harmonic function of nature, and we must clasp it as the existing condition of nature.
