Excerpt from History of the Lumber Industry of America, Vol. 1 Industry and commerce have received in the past but incidental recognition from the historian. He has sought to trace the history of peoples in the political movements in which they have been involved. The successful prosecution of war has appeared to him more notable than the continued preservation of peace. The achievements of diplomats and warriors have appeared more vital than the successes of men of business. The growing respect engendered abroad by a nations army and navy has seemed a more attractive theme for discourse than the increase of its trade in the markets of the world. Despite this neglect, commerce always has been a controlling factor in making the worlds history. It always has been more important that men should live than that they should live under any particular government or at any particular place. The search for livelihood has guided the migrations of races and been the inciting cause of discovery, settlement and conquest. Encouragement, protection and control of trade have been the most frequent subjects of legislation. It has been within recent years only that the world at large has accorded the manufacturer and the merchant a position coordinate with that of the warrior and the statesman. Out of this new appreciation have come histories of particular industrial movements and of numerous branches of industry; but, notwithstanding the influence of the forests on New World development and the importance of the present lumber industry of the United States, Canada and the Latin countries to the south, no comprehensive history of the lumber industry of America ever has been compiled. The early explorers were in search of gold, but they found trees; and the earliest exports from the New World to the Old World were products of the forest. Such products have continued for more than four hundred years to be of conspicuous importance. In even the Twentieth Century the value of forest manufactures exported from British America is exceeded only by the value of the combined products of agriculture, grazing and allied pursuits. Some of the Central American countries derive the larger share of their incomes from their forest products.

Excerpt from Forestry Pamphlets on the Lumber Industry, Vol. 1 Of native trees the til is the largest and handsomest. It has shin ing, deep green leaves. The wood is brown, marked with dark veins, and is susceptible of high polish. It is in much demand for furniture, boxes, walking sticks, and souvenirs generally. Newly cut, til has a disagreeable odor and can be used only when well seasoned. The vinhatico is a fine tree. The wood is red and much used for furniture. It is often called Madeira mahogany. The aderno grows to the height of 60 feet and is used for cask staves. The wood is white. Azevinho and perade are closely allied trees, and are common species of holly. The wood is white and is used for inlaid work. They attain a height of 15 to 20 feet. None of the foregoing trees are found elsewhere, except in the Cana ries. The pao branco is a handsome tree, attaining a height of 50 feet. It has a hard white wood. And is in much demand for keels of boats. It grows readily from the seed. It is not found elsewhere except in the Canaries and Azores. The folhado is a fine tree, attaining a height of 60 feet. In summer it is full of white, sweet-scented flowers. Its wood is tough and of light weight. It is of great interest to botanists, belonging to a genus of which all the species, except this, are American.

Excerpt from History of the Lumber Industry of America, Vol. 2 The first volume of this work was devoted to certain general subjects and to eastern Canada; this volume takes up the history of, the lumber industry of the United States in detail. An appropriate beginning is found in connection with white pine. It is possible that the first trees cut on American soil by white men were yellow pine; and during certain periods the southern wood, perhaps, contributed more largely to the export trade of the colonies and of the United States than did white pine; but the latter was earlier the basis for an industry of magnitude, and, until the close of the Nineteenth Century, furnished more than any other one species, or more than any group of related species, to the internal commerce of the country. While the southern pines were and are famous in the export trade, they supplied at home, until within a generation, hardly more than a local requirement; whereas white pine was in demand almost everywhere throughout the continent and sold in large quantities, not only in the states in which it grew but even in states which were abundantly supplied with pines of their own growth, and, furthermore, it furnished the chief building and finishing material necessary in the development of the great prairie regions west of the Mississippi River. It was the white pine that of all the timber resources of the North American continent first attracted the attention of explorers, and it was the white pine that was first the subject of Royal or legislative enactment. This volume of the History of the Lumber Industry of America is, therefore, devoted very largely to the history of the white pine industry. This history is appropriately considered in its geographical relationships, and, for the sake of convenience, a beginning is made with the white pine State farthest east - a Commonwealth known for generations as the Pine Tree State, although for more than a half century pine has been second to spruce in volume of product. Beginning with Maine, the other New Eng land states appropriately come after and then the white pine belt rs followed across New York and Pennsylvania.

Excerpt from Some Public and Economic Aspects of the Lumber Industry, Vol. 1: Studies of the Lumber Industry These resources have been put to use through an industry which in energy, rapid development, and mechanical efficiency has cut stripped that of any other country. The forests of other nations, like Russia, are comparable in extent, but have never attained a like economic value because no comparable industries have grown up to use them. The importance of our forests and forest industries gave general support to a national policy of conservation a few years ago when it was realized that the timber supply was being rapidly used up. Hitherto this policy has dealt directly with but a portion of the forest lands in public ownership. The much vaster areas privately owned it has reached only through educational work in forestry and the impetus given to the protection of timberlands from fire. It has touched conditions in the forest-using industries only through research in their methods and processes. There has been, however, an unquestioned response to the conservation movement by the forest industries in better protection of timberlands and closer use of their raw material. The last six or seven years have brought better knowledge of the timber resources of the United States, better information about their renewal, better insight into the strength and weakness of the forest using industries. These years have shown particularly how forest conservation is affected by economic conditions in the manufactures whose raw material is wood. Demoralized lumber markets affect the value of timber, the stability of its ownership, the degree to which it is wasted in exploitation, and the possibility of carrying out any far-sighted plan of forest renewal. The character of timber owner ship, on the other hand, reacts upon lumber production; hence upon the manufacturer, distributor, and consumer. The interests of the public, locally and nationally, are touched at many of these points. These industrial conditions, with their reaction upon the forests, have raised a question as to whether the public forest policy of the United States goes far enough. Particularly does better understand ing of the conditions in the timber-using industries and their effect upon forestry and forest use seem desirable.
