Excerpt from Farm Forestry: A d104 Book; Dealing With the Wooded Parts of Southern Farms, and the Problems Growing Out of Them, for Use in Agricultural High, Schools and Colleges More than half of the area of farm holdings in Georgia is in woods; and more than half of the wooded area of the State is in farm holdings. The future of the forests of the State depends largely on the attitude of the farmers towards the wooded parts of their holdings. With a view to influencing their attitude, lectures on forestery were begun many years ago at the State College of Agriculture at Athens by Dr. H. C. White. These lectures were incidental to the courses in agricultural chemistry, forestry being taken up in its bearing on soil conservation. When I was elected Professor of Forestry in 1906, Dr. White turned over this work to me. The lectures have been extended into a course of three months for the One-Year students and a course of half a year for the Seniors. The following text is an outline of these courses. My chief purpose in writing it is to save a part of the time spent by the students in taking and copying lecture notes. But the problems discussed should also be of interest to those who are managing farms; and while some of them may not find all of the suggestions practicable, in the conditions existing on their farms, they will find that a part of them are practicable, and as the market and other conditions change with the industrial development of the country, they will find that more of these suggestions can be carried out. The teachers in the District Agricultural Schools and other rural schools may find the book helpful in connection with their courses in farm management or nature study.

Excerpt from Forestry and Community Development Nowadays the more obvious results of forest devastation, such as fires, increase in soil erosion, and irregularity of stream flow, are pretty generally recognized. But so far comparatively little atten tion has been paid to certain economic and social effects of forest devastation, perhaps less apparent but scarcely less harmful. These are at once an indictment of the system that has made them possible and a challenge to devise a better one. In a very literal sense our civilization has been built on wood. From the forests that once stretched almost unbroken from Maine to Florida, from the immense timber stands of the Lake States, and from those of the Rocky Mountains and Pacific coast has come, in turn, the material needed for the development of farms and the building of homes as settlement pushed ever westward. Unquestion ably, the remarkable progress 'of agriculture has been made possible in large measure by an easily accessible supply of timber.

Excerpt from Forestry for Farmers The following five chapters have been written with the view of aiding farmers who own small timber tracts or wood lots, or who wish to plant some part of their land to forest. This country varies so greatly in soil, climate, and flora that it is only possible, within the limits assigned for the present discussion, to outline general principles everywhere applicable. Nevertheless, wherever suggestions have approximated the laying down of rules of practice, the writer has had mainly in mind the conditions prevalent in our northeastern States. Moreover, for the reason already referred to, limitation of space, it has not been possible to give more than a comprehensive view, without much detail. The succeeding chapters should be read connectedly, as they are more or less interdependent. The first treats of the behavior of a forest plant; the second, of the principles which should guide the planter in setting a crop; the third, of the manner in which a natural forest crop should be produced; the fourth points out how the crop should be managed afterwards in order to secure the best results in quantity and quality of material; while the fifth chapter is devoted to a consideration of the relation of forests to farms. 1. How Trees Grow. Trees, like most other plants, originate from seed, build up a body of cell tissues, form foliage, flower, and fruit, and take up food material from the soil and air, which they convert into cellulose and other compounds, from which all their parts are formed. They rely, like other plants, upon moisture, heat, and light as the means of performing the functions of growth. Yet there are some peculiarities in their behavior, their life and growth, which require special attention on the part of a tree grower or forest planter, and these we shall briefly discuss. Food Materials And Conditions Of Growth. Trees derive their food and solid substance in part from the air and in part from the soil. The solid part of their bodies is made up of cellulose, which consists largely of carbon(44 percent of its weight), with hydrogen and oxygen added in almost the same proportions as in water.
