Excerpt from The Study of Forestry The forest resources of Brazil are unmatched anywhere in the world. In extent, in number of species of trees, in potential values of products, the Brazilian forests are unique. They promise to be a factor of profound importance in the economic development of the country. Their permanent service in the upbuilding of Brazil will, however, depend upon the manner in which they are handled. It would be a great misfortune if they were exploited with the same disregard of the permanent interests of the nation that has characterized the history of the forests of the United States. With the application of sound and practical methods of forestry, the forest resources of Brazil will serve indefinitely as a source of great national wealth. A Great Field For Forestry. In many sections of Brazil the forests have already been heavily cut. A large part of this cutting has been largely done in clearing land for cultivation and pasture. There is, however, a considerable export trade in certain classes of timber and in various special products of the forest, and lumber is being cut in increasing quantities for home consumption. It is inevitable that in the near future there will be a much greater demand from other countries for Brazilian timber. The virgin forests in the temperate regions are being depleted very rapidly. Very soon America must look elsewhere for substitutes for hickory, ash, walnut, high-grade oak. and other material. It is a great opportunity for Brazil to supply this need. As soon as the qualities of the local species are better known, foreign manufacturers will demand them. There will then come the problem of exploration and research to determine the location of merchantable bodies of timber; capital and modern methods of lumbering will be needed to exploit the forests; and a lumber industry of great magnitude will be built up which will be an important factor in the economy of the nation. But in its own protection and to guard its future interests Brazil will have to see to it that the forests are cut in a way to insure perpetuation and to prevent devastation. Brazil has already taken the first step in the passing of a comprehensive forest code. Undoubtedly further legislation is required to establish and build up the organizations necessary to carry on the public work in forestry. In the United States but little progress in forestry was made until the Federal Government undertook the proper administration of the lands owned by the Nation and until there was in the country a body of professional foresters.

Excerpt from First Book of Forestry During the last twenty years the general interest in forestry has grown with remarkable rapidity in all parts of our country. The federal government has set aside large forest reserves, and several states have established reservations or parks. The private owners of large tracts of forest lands are employing trained foresters to care for their property, and an improvement in the smaller holdings is everywhere noticeable. Forestry is taught in two special schools in America, and elementary courses on the subject are given in several colleges and preparatory schools. A desire has been expressed to introduce this useful and interesting study into our public schools and country homes, and this volume is an attempt to provide a book on the subject which shall satisfy this demand. In keeping with this purpose there has been no attempt to write a textbook or manual of forestry; but an effort has been made to present in simple, non-technical language some of the general principles underlying the science, and to state the methods which are employed and the objects to be attained in the practice of forestry. Early association with the well-kept forests of Germany, observations made in the widely differing forest districts of our own country, and three years' experience in teaching forestry have helped to make the responsible task of preparing this book a pleasure.

Excerpt from The Book of Forestry The American people are by inheritance a nation of forest butchers. Possessing a continent originally endowed with superb forests, unequalled in any part of the globe, the three hundred years which have passed since the Colonists landed upon the Atlantic Coast have seen the area of our forests diminished by acres, while the contents have been reduced to less than half.

Excerpt from The School Book of Forestry Our forests, with their billions of trees, are the backbone of agriculture, the skeleton of lum bering, and the heart of industry. Even now, in spite of their depletion, they are the cream of our natural resources. They furnish wood for the nation, pasture for thousands of cattle and sheep, and water supply for countless cities and farms. They are the dominions of wildlife. Millions of birds, game animals, and fish live in the forests and the forest streams. The time is coming when our forests will be the greatest playgrounds of America. It is necessary that we preserve, protect, and expandour timber lands. By so doing we shall provide for the needs of future generations.

Excerpt from Studies in French Forestry The material for this book was collected largely in 1912. Administrative work in the United States Forest Service, teaching at Yale Forest School, and service in the Corps of Engineers, U. S. A., during the war prevented an earlier completion of my task. The success of the American Expeditionary Forces in securing its timber supply, under conditions existing in France in 1917-18, was due chiefly to the extraordinary capacity of the commanding officers at Tours and the American lumbermen and foresters who assisted them throughout France. These efforts might have failed, however, if the American E. F. had not been so ably seconded by l'Administration Generale des Eaux et Forets under the direction of M. Dabat, Conseiller d'Etat, Directeur, and by M. Antoni, now an Inspecteur General des Eaux et Forets and Sous-Directeur, as well as by the French officers and officials working under or in collaboration with General de Division Chevalier, D. S. M., Inspecteur General du Service des Bois, notably: Lieut.-Col. Joubaire, Armand, Conservateur des Eaux et Forets a Saumur, President de la Commission Forestiere d'Expertises. M.

Excerpt from The Story of the Forest With the design of telling the younger gener ation what the woodlands of this country are, and what they mean, this book has been pre pared, chiefly for use in the schools. Much of what it contains is new and out of the beaten track of textbooks, but it is nevertheless impor tant, especially at this time, when more attention 1s being concentrated upon subjects of practical importance. These earlier lessons being learned, pupils will be in a position to take an advanced step in nature study and in that other subject, very closely allied to it, American forestry.

Excerpt from Studies of Trees IN presenting this volume, the author is aware that there are several excellent books, dealing with one phase or another of tree life, already before the public. It is believed, how ever, that there is still need for an all-round book, adapted to the beginner, which gives in a brief and not too technical way the most important facts concerning the identification, structure and uses of our more common trees, and Which considers their habits, enemies and care both when grow ing alone and when growing in groups or forests. In the chapters on the identification of trees, the aim has been to bring before the student only such characters and facts as shall help him to distinguish the tree readily during all seasons of the year. Special stress is laid in each case on the most striking peculiarities. Possible confusion with other trees of similar appearance is prevented as far as possible through comparisons with trees of like form or habit. Only such information is given concerning the structure and requirements of trees as will enable the reader better to understand the subsequent chapters. In the second half of the book, practical application is made of the student's general knowledge thu's acquired, and he is acquainted with the fundamental principles of planting, care, forestry, wood identification and nature study. The author recognizes the vastness of the field he is attempting to cover and the impossibility of even touching.
