Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Profession of Forestry: Including an Address The history of lumbering in the United States has not differed essentially from that of the same industry in other countries. In the early days, the chief obstacle of the settler was the forest, while the growing need both of cleared land and of timber kept pace with the advance of colonization. The multiplication of demands for3 forest products developed feverish activity in the conversion of trees into money, while the methods employed in the harvesting of timber were the natural outcome of existing conditions. Forestry, with its per petual but conservative returns, offered no financial inducement to the lumberman until the first crop of timber began to fail. With the forest stretched before him, large enough to feed his saw-mill for his lifetime, he had no need to consider the potential value of cut-over lands, often allowing them to revert in default of taxes to the state. His methods of lumbering were significant of his attitude. Skillful and effective in the cutting and transport of logs and the manufacture of lumber, he showed utter obliviousness to the productive capacity of the lum bered areas. Abuse of the lumberman is unmerited and unreasonable. His utilization of natural resources has been accomplished by mistakes similar to those incurred in the development of other industries in this country. The necessity for modification' of his methods involves no emotional considerations. The question is one simply of the best business policy. The attitude of the lumberman towards the source of his industry has so far been generally similar to that of the miner towards the gold mine. He has considered the value of the forest to lie only in the merchantable timber it contains, just as the mine is worthless when the end of the vein is reached. He has cut and burned with complete dis regard of the welfare of immature trees, with the result that he has deprived the future of a supply of timber many times the value of the material he has actually utilized. There has been incalculable waste, which in some cases could have been avoided through slight expense, in others simply by the exercise of reasonable care, and which has hastened enormously the approaching exhaustion of the lumber supply. N 0 one realizes more keenly than does the lumberman that the time for forestry has fully arrived. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Profession of Forestry During the last decade forestry in the United States has developed with remarkable rapidity. The inauguration of forest management on the National Forests, the activity of various States in public for estry, and the increasing interest of private owners in timber growing and protection have resulted in a marked demand for trained foresters. When active work in forestry first began there were no forest schools in the country, and those entering upon the work were obliged to go to Europe for technical training. In anticipation of the need for foresters, and in order to aid in the development of for estry, several progressive institutions established schools of forestry even before the demand for any considerable number of men was definitely assured. The first professional school was established at Cornell University in 1898. This was followed in 1900 by the Yale Forest School. Private instruction in forestry was given at Biltmore, North Carolina, by Doctor Schenck in connection with his work on the Vanderbilt estate as early as 1897, and a school for rangers was started by the State Of 'pennsylvania at Mont Alto, Pennsylvania, in 1903. Since that time instruction in forestry has been introduced in a large num ber of institutions. To-day there are 22 institutions which give courses leading to a degree in forestry, and about 40 others which include forestry in their curricula. It is estimated that there are fully 500 men in the United States with a greater or less degree of technical training, in addition to forest rangers who began without a knowledge of the technical side of forestry, but many of whom through their experience in National and State forest work under technical direction have acquired considerable knowledge of certain phases of the subject. There are probably about young men studying in the forest schools. Forestry may therefore be considered an established profession in the United States. Hundreds of young men are considering it as a life vocation, and are eager to be informed regarding the character of work involved, the elements necessary for success, the requirements for an adequate training, the present and probable future opportuni ties for work, and its possibilities as a means of livelihood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Careers in Forestry As early as 1912, it is estimated, there were approximately 500 men in the United States with a greater or less degree of technical training in forestry.

The importance of proper training now and in the future for a career in the field of forestry cannot be overestimated.

Book excerpt: 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.

The statesman, the student of economics, as well as the layman who desires knowledge on these matters, is to find here such information as will enable him to form an intelligent view and a true estimate of the position which forests and forestry should occupy in our political house hold, or rather the position which the community and governments should take with reference to their forest resources; it is to furnish a trust worthy basis for formulating public policy. At the same time it is hoped that this presentation of the subject will be acceptable to the growing number of professional foresters, assisting them in an intelligent survey of their art from a point of view outside of that of the technicist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Practice of Forestry There is much truth in the proverb, "Well begun is half done." It need not here be questioned whether this is literally true or not; but one thing is certain, in the planting and culture of forest-trees every false step taken must be a backward one. As soon as a piece of ground is fixed upon for planting, the forester should take every available means and opportunity of knowing all that can be known about it. By this it is not implied that any one is capable of knowing everything that is desirable to be known, but that he should put himself in possession of as much knowledge of the subject as he possibly can.

Book excerpt: 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.

The present part ("The Forest") deals with the units which compose the forest, with its character as an organic whole, and with its enemies. It may be said to sketch the foundation of the practice of forestry and of forest policy. Part II will be entitled "Practical Forestry," and will deal with the practice of forestry, with work in the woods, with the relations of the forest to the weather and the streams, and will conclude with a brief description of forestry at home and abroad. For many of the illustrations of Part I, I am indebted to the kindness of several gentlemen not connected with this Division.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journal of Forestry, 1919, Vol. 17: Official Organ of the Society of American Foresters, Combining the Proceedings of the Society and the Forestry Quarterly During the past five years there has been a cumulative realization of the fact that the low scale of salaries paid by the Forest Service was causing a shortage of competent men on the National Forests.' The cost of living has so far outstripped the almost negligible promotions allowed by Congress that there has been an increasing annual exodus of leadership, experience, and ability - technical and non-technical into other fields. This fact is so well known as to require no further proof or mention. The purpose of this paper is to point out two facts which I believe have so far been realized only dimly, if at all, by the profession: First, that the salary situation threatens the ultimate success of our great experiment in national forestry; second, that really logical methods of redress have not yet been attempted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forests and Forestry in the American States: A Reference Anthology Forestry as a matter of public policy is scarcely over 80 years old in America. As a profession, it is barely over 65. As a definitive science it is about 50. Forestry came to the United States in several distinct stages. Born as an idea in the minds of a few men and women, it sprang into adolescence as a political movement in the last decades of the nineteenth century. It matured as it grew into a profession Shortly after the beginning of the twentieth. It is now, as a science, just entering its prime, its finest years still ahead. American forestry grew up pragmatically in the same way that its parent, the American political system, flourished. An idea was tried. If it worked, it was retained. If it did not, it was cast aside. This trial and error approach to national policy is uniquely possible in the United States because of the country's political structure. Because the states of the Union have retained large areas of sovereignty to themselves, the American nation is much like a network of great laboratories with a wide range of social, economic, and political experiments going on all the time. In no field has this trying and testing been more appropriate than in the field of forestry. Woodland conditions vary so radically from one part of the continent to an other that a national plan for forestry, even if it had been politically possible, would probably have been impossible technically during the infant years of the science. Instead the diversity of political and physical conditions in the states led to a healthier, more flexible, and more appropriate set of American forest policies than any centralized approach could have produced.
