Overview

Excerpt from Practical Arboriculture: How Forests Influence Climate, Control the Winds, Prevent Floods, Sustain National Prosperity a d104 Book for Railway Engineers, Manufacturers, Lumbermen and Farmers Probably no people in the world are more extravagant and wasteful of things which may for the time be abundant. In no case is this more marked than in the disposal of American Forests. Once very abundant, now practically gone in most regions, and soon to be but a memory in the United States. Books have been written and printed at government expense to prove our vast possessions in forests, which have lulled Congress to sleep upon the matter of forest protection, while interested capitalists have obtained possession of all timber land, and are destroying the nation's wealth.
