Excerpt from Miscellaneous Papers on Forestry From Annual Report, Department of Agriculture for 1896 If these folds, or ridges and mountains, did not exist, the earth's surface would be a monotonous plain, practically everywhere equally distant from the centre of the earth, except in so far as that dis tance was modified by the differences between the polar and the equatorial diameters of the earth. Our streams would flow slowly in the Northern hemisphere toward the northeast, and in the South ern hemisphere toward the southeast, and the large masses of water would gravitate to the poles, as those would be the portions of the earth least remote from the earth's centre. The continental land masses would tend to be in the equatorial diameter of the globe because the land there would be the highest, i. E., most distant from the earth's centre. The introduction, however, of these shrinkage folds, which we now recognize as mountains, completely changes these relations. Water will flow downward along the lines of least resistance, and as it flows will wear away the soil first and the rock next, in exact proportion, other things being equal, to the rapidity of its flow. We see this in the washes on our hillsides and in the constantly changing courses of our stream channels. But other things are not equal. If they were, the tendency to the formation of ravines and gulches, by erosion, would not exist, and everywhere over an equal slope the wearing away of the soil would proceed evenly, and the unbroken character of the country would in great measure be preserved, or more properly speaking, the tendency to an even reduction of our mountains would everywhere exist. As it is, vast discrepancies in the character of soils and rocks occur; some yielding to erosion by flowing water more easily than others - and it is along such lines of least resistance that currents of equal velocity carve out their valley channels to the ocean, following, of course (in most instances) the trend of the larger valleys made by the folds in the earth's crust.

Excerpt from Report on Forestry, 1896 The topographical maps showed forested lands as distinguished from those under cultivation. They made no attempt to indicate the varieties, size or condition of the timber. There is very little land in the State which, if left uncultivated, does not spontaneously produce, in a few years, a fairly good growth of timber; consequently, the land represented as forest on the maps, for which the surveys were completed in 1887, ranges from brush to good timber of from forty to fifty years growth, and for the most part every gradation of growth is represented in due proportion. The examinations made during the past year have attempted to differentiate this growth into varieties of trees, age and size, as we have explained.

Excerpt from Report of the Forester: United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Washington, D.

Excerpt from Report of the Forester: United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service; June 30, 1918 The extent to Which power development has actually taken place on the National Forests is best evidenced by the figures for the esti mated average output at minimum discharge of the projects having reservoirs, conduits, or power houses on Forest lands. For all per mits in force at the close of the year this was horsepower, as against at the close of the previous year. Of this, 405 368 horsepower, as against 365 208 one year previously, is credited to projects for which all construction is complete; 502 horsepower to. Incomplete projects; and the remainder to projects on which con struction has not yet started. The War has had a marked effect upon the electric power industry.

Excerpt from Annual Report of the Division of Forestry for 1887 Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith my second annual report, outlining in part the work which the Forestry Division has undertaken or accomplished within the past year and the plan of work which it is desirable to pursue in future. The report also con tains a brief account of the forestry. Conditions and forestry interests in each of the several States and Territories of the Union and, inci dentally, such advice in the pursuance of practical forestry as the limited space at command would admit. The work of the Division in the main is to act as a bureau of information. Hitherto such information has naturally consisted in a recital of the methods of forest administration which prevail in Europe and other countries and a presentation of the needs of our country in general, based upon an imperfect knowledge of its forest conditions.

Excerpt from Report Upon Forestry: Prepared Under the Direction of the Commissioner of Agriculture, in Pursuance of an Act of Congress Approved August 15, 1876 Sir: By the provisions of An act making appropriations for the legislative, executive, and judicial expenses of the government for the year ending June 30, 1877, and for other purposes, approved August 15, 1876, the Commissioner of Agriculture was required to appoint some man of approved attainments, and practically well acquainted with the methods of statistical inquiry, with a view of ascertaining the annual amount of consumption, importation, and exportation of timber and other forest products; the probable supply for future wants; the means best adapted to the preservation and renewal of forests; the influence of forests upon climate; and the measures that have been successfully applied in various countries for the preservation and restoration or planting of forests; and to report upon the same to the Commissioner of Agriculture, to be by him transmitted in a special report to Congress. On the 30th of August, 1876, Hon. Frederick Watts, then Commissioner of Agriculture, appointed Dr. Franklin B. Hough, of Lowville, Lewis County, New York, to the discharge of this important duty. Dr. Hough seems to have diligently prosecuted his investigations and inquiries, not only throughout the United States, but also in foreign lauds, entering into a correspondence with officers of foreign governments connected with the forest management and forestry schools in Europe, where the vital importance of this great interest is well understood, and where for many years an intelligent and settled policy has prevailed, looking to the increase of the woods. The equal and seasonable distribution of the rain-fall, the maintenance of forests upon the higher lands, and the consequent preservation of the regular supply of water to the springs, rivulets, and rivers, and the prevention of the terrible floods which wash bare the unclothed mountain slopes, and by sudden overflows destroy the agriculture and the manufactures of the valleys, are also subjects of anxious observation in this connection. While the information Dr. Hough has acquired from these sources has been extensive and in some cases exhaustive, and while from the European modes much may be learned, the differences that exist between our own and foreign countries in the ownership of lands, make it impracticable to apply for the present, if ever, the systems of administration that prevail elsewhere. Differences exist also in climate, and in the native trees suitable for forest culture; yet there is a very large amount of information collected in the report which is not more valuable for practical use than it is for suggestive thought.
