Excerpt from Timber Products Production in West Virginia, 1965 Since the period of heavy cutting in the late 1800's and early l9oo's, West Virginia's forest resource has made an impressive comeback. Today wood in West Virginia is growing about twice as fast as it is being cut. According to the 1961 forest survey of West Virginia,1 the annual growth of growing stock2 in the State totaled 370 million cubic feet while timber cut totaled 119 million cubic feet. More than 1 billion board feet of sawtimber is being added to the resource each year while less than billion is being removed. This lower level of cutting, a rapid rate of farm abandonment with a consequent increase in forest acreage, and the widening application of forest-management practices have rejuvenated the State's forest resource. Thus today the average timber stand in West Virginia is young and vigorous. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Timber Industries of West Virginia Hansen and Warder (1967) observed that a pattern toward greater stability had developed within the industry. This was exemplified by a steady decline in small-scale operations, an ih crease in average size, a leveling-off in total out put, and an increasing number of mills that operated all year. The study also found that the percentage of sawmills near improved roads had grown from 68 percent in 1958 to 81 percent in 1967, and that maximum distances for hauling sawlogs (from the woods to the mill) had in creased from a range of 10 to 36 miles to a range of 18 to 110 miles. In the eastern United States, improved transportation routes tend to increase the size of raw-material procurement areas, in crease product marketing capabilities, and en courage the development of high-capacity production facilities. While sawlog production from West Virginia timberlands decreased by 5 percent - 464 million board feet - from 1965 to 1974, log receipts at sawmills decreased by 8 percent (table Only the Northwestern Region reflected increases in both sawlog production and receipts, up 26 percent and 17 percent, respectively, during the past 10 years. The Southern Region experienced the greatest losses in both production and receipts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"This publication presents a history of the Forest Survey (now known as Forest Inventory and Analysis) program in the United States as it evolved within the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service over a period of more than 100 years. It draws on the writings of several authors who have published on various aspects of the Forest Survey program. A review is presented of nine ground plot designs used in the Forest Survey and Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) programs since 1931. This publication also highlights the major events contributing to the current FIA program, beginning as far back as 1830. It is impressive to look at the many contributions of various people working with the Nation's Forest Survey program, as well as the various methodologies that have contributed to understanding and updating the national forest survey statistics. It is especially timely that this historical report should occur at the time the Forest Service just celebrated the anniversary of its 100 years of service to the American people."--Publisher's website.
