Excerpt from Georgia Forest Resources and Industries In the endeavor to ascertain how important such re sources are to the people of the State and how they can be made even more valuable, a State-wide field inventory was conducted in Georgia during 1934, 1935, and 1936 by the Forest Survey, employing several crews of three men and a supervisor.1 Parallel lines 10 miles apart were run approximately east and west across the State. At % mile intervals along each line, quarter-acre sample plots were established. In the southeastern part of the State, because of relative inaccessibility, the Okefenokee Swamp acres) and coastal islands acres) were 'not covered in the field survey. On the forest plots examined, the field men recorded such items as forest type, forest condition, fire damage, density and distribution of repro duction, and site quality. They tallied the trees by species and diameter class and. Made increment borings to deter mine total age of the stand and growth of the timber during the last 10 years. These data, together with some esti mates for the areas not covered by the field survey, furnish the basis for the statistics of area, volume, and growth presented in this report. Information on forest industries and timber-drain figures for 1934, 1935, 1930, and 1937 were obtained from a can vass of the wood-using plants and local wood consumers.

Excerpt from First Biennial Report of the State Forester to the State Forestry Board of the State of Georgia, 1925-1926 Forestry had its beginning in Georgia in the Forestry Act of 1921 providing for a State Board of Forestry composed of five ex - officio members and four citizens appointed by the Governor from the State at Large. The duties of this Board were purely investigative, and to report to the General Assembly of Georgia with whatever recommendations the said Board sees fit to make. However, there were no funds available for the work. The first official report to the General Assembly of Georgia was made in 1922 in compliance with the Act of 1921. The splendid report of this Board received most favorable com ment from all parts of the country. The limited number of copies print-ed was soon exhausted by the enormous demand for this information.

Excerpt from Natural Resources of Georgia: Prepared by the State Department of Natural Resources in Co-Operation With the State Department of Education for the Georgia Program for the Improvement of Instruction There was a time in the history of our nation when that portion of the South now known as Georgia was a land of unbroken forests, known only to prehistoric races and to the creatures of the wilderness. From the coast and coastal islands to the highlands of Coosa and Itawa no white man had left his mark upon the soil. The valleys were deep and rich, the hill tops virgin and wild. Centuries have seen the creation-and growth of a new empire out of this wilderness - not a mushroom growth, but the slow unvary ing march of a civilization which would not be stemmed or checked. Within the course of that progress great and courageous men have lived. Blood has been Shed; cities have flourished and disappeared under the heel of time. All have made a contribution to the building of a nation. Today, three million people live and work and play through that once vast wilderness. Cities have grown out of the hills and plains. Fertile valleys and pasture lands lie everywhere open wooded slopes are dotted with farm houses, the vanguard of a still progressive civilization. Ribbons of steel and concrete high ways have appeared to take the place of those first arteries of com merce, the rivers. Droning new ships in the skyways are proof that we have not turned backward, or ceased to grow. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
