Excerpt from A General Introduction to Forestry in the United States: With Special Reference to Recent Forest Conservation Policies The American people have enjoyed the use and benefit of sufficient primary natural resources to develop this nation to a position of great strength and prosperity. If our people will learn how to use, manage, and maintain them for the widest present and permanent benefits and to apply this knowledge gained by experience through the coming years, it is likely that our natural resources may continue to contribute in very substantial fashion to further strength, prosperity, and happiness. Our forests, next to our soils, are our most precious natural resource. Around this vast resource, occupying approximately one-fourth of our total land surface, is built a new concept of national planning. The work to be accomplished is conservation, management, and enhanced use, and this is a challenge not for the next few years but for many generations to come. Our rich and varied forests are capable of supplying our domestic requirements and a very extensive and profitable export trade that should inure to the benefit and prosperity of our people. It is of great importance that due consideration be given to the conservation of our forest resources. This work is intimately integrated with other primary resources, chiefly soil, water, and mineral. It is significant that, within the past few years, a new appreciation and understanding of the contributions which our natural resources may make to the prosperity of the nation have developed. Through recent government emergency measures, conservation has enjoyed most noteworthy forward progress. It is hoped that this general treatise on the subject of forestry may contribute to a better understanding and appreciation of the part our forests may play in the welfare and happiness of the American nation.

Excerpt from A History of Forestry Research in the Southern United States Station and given research responsibilities in both pine and hardwood types from Florida through Virginia. Prior to the establishment of these experiment stations, some limited research pertaining to southern forestry had been conduct ed by the u.s. Bureau of Forestry (later the Forest Service) and by some State agencies, but funds for such work were very limited. Some early studies dealing with lumber seasoning and preservatives for railway ties, for example, applied to southern pine species. And other national studies of forest resources and a few local reports on the timber and naval-stores industries provided some general knowledge of southern forest conditions and prob Iems.

Excerpt from The Timber Pines of the Southern United States: Together With a Discussion of the Structure of Their Wood In ignorance of the nature and without appreciation of the economic value of their resources, pioneers squander and destroy without regard to the future the riches they find. We have done so in the United States and are continuing to do so although the pioneering stage should have been passed, especially with our forest resources. We have exploited them as if they were mines, instead of crops which can be harvested and reproduced continuously, and we have done so in a most wasteful manner; nay, we have by irrational methods of exploitation, no doubt due in part to the necessities of a rapidly developing country, in many cases destroyed the conditions for natural reproduction of the more valuable timber species. Fire and indiscriminate pasturing have also assisted in the process of deterioration. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Utilization of Beetle-Killed Southern Pine The southern pines occur on more than 100 million acres of com merciai forest land in the United States either as a mixture with other species or as pure stands. The bulk of the resource is located south of the mason-dixon line and east of the Great Plains (koch There are 10 species of southern pines, but loblolly (pinus taeda shortleaf (p. Echinata longleaf (p. Palustris and slash (p. Elliot tii Engelm.) make up most of the total inventory. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from White Pine Under Forest Management States, New York, Pennsylvania, the Lake States, and southern Quebec and Ontario south of the Height of Land. In New England white pine seldom formed solid bodies of large extent, but usually grew mixed with spruce and other conifers and hardwoods. In several places, however, large pure stands of white pine were found. Great pine forests stretched along the valleys of the Connecticut and Merrimac Rivers and grew along the shores of Lake Champlain in western Vermont.
