Book Description

Excerpt from Timber Growing and Logging Practice in the California Pine Region: Measures Necessary to Keep Forest Land Productive and to Produce Full Timber Crops As a broad conclusion, however, with the exception of limited situ ations which are dealt with region by region, the Forest Service has tremendous faith in the commercial promise of timber growing to American landowners. The law of supply and demand is working steadily to create timber values which in large portions of the United States will pay fair returns on forestry as a business. The economic history of other countries which have passed through a cycle of virgin forest depletion similar to that which the United States is now traversing, points to the same inevitable conclusion. The time is fast approaching when forestry, and forestry alone, will supply the enormous quantities of wood demanded by American markets. The fundamental laws of business must in the nature of things so operate as to enable the markets of forest products to be supp-lied at a profit to the grower of timber. The returns already being obtained from this form of land employment at many points in the Eastern United States show plainly enough that this relationship between the value of timber and the cost of producing it is already coming about to a marked degree.
