Excerpt from A History of Forestry Research in the Southern United States Station and given research responsibilities in both pine and hardwood types from Florida through Virginia. Prior to the establishment of these experiment stations, some limited research pertaining to southern forestry had been conduct ed by the u.s. Bureau of Forestry (later the Forest Service) and by some State agencies, but funds for such work were very limited. Some early studies dealing with lumber seasoning and preservatives for railway ties, for example, applied to southern pine species. And other national studies of forest resources and a few local reports on the timber and naval-stores industries provided some general knowledge of southern forest conditions and prob Iems.

Excerpt from Forest-Land Utilization in Nicolas and Webster Counties, West Virginia Large tracts of land having no feasible use except forest production, combined With a relatively dense population dependent on the land resources, present problems of readjustment. It may be necessary to have adjustments in the man-land ratio, as well as adjustments in the methods of forest production and land use, if levels of income are to be acceptable. In order to raise the low level of living in forest areas Where mining and other industries are not developed, Without continuous public subsidies, there are two, or a combination of two, alternatives: (1) to develop forest operations of a type that Will provide full employment for the people; and (2) to fit the people for and to provide alternative employment opportunities in this and other areas in order to relieve the subsistence pressure on land resources.

Drawing upon a wealth of past research and results, this book provides a comprehensive summary of state-of-the-art methods for empirical modeling of forest trees and stands. It opens by describing methods for quantifying individual trees, progresses to a thorough coverage of whole-stand, size-class and individual-tree approaches for modeling forest stand dynamics, growth and yield, moves on to methods for incorporating response to silvicultural treatments and wood quality characteristics in forest growth and yield models, and concludes with a discussion on evaluating and implementing growth and yield models. Ideal for use in graduate-level forestry courses, this book also provides ready access to a plethora of reference material for researchers working in growth and yield modeling.

Excerpt from West Virginia: Its Farms and Forests, Mines and Oil-Wells; With a Glimpse of Its Scenery, a Photograph of Its Population, and an Exhibit of Its Industrial Statistics The oak that graces the mountain-mpe has come from an acorn planted by an errant squirrel. From a seed as small, dropped in a Kanawha Valley mail-bag in equal unconsciousness of hidden germ-life, this volume has grown, little by little. Like the forest oak, its growth has been natural, without pruning or pinching, back, or artistic fashioning of any sort. The only aim has been to make it true to nature and to life, however homely its phase. A single letter with a striking reference to mineral resources, followed by other correspondence, a tour of observation in behalf of the Department of Agriculture, exploration of State archives and national census sche dules, and free conferences with intelligent business men of West Virginia, led to the exhibit made in the United States Report of Agriculture for 1863. Enterprising citizens of other States, attracted by these resources, wished to know more of their character and extent. In answer to such demands, from all sections of the North, the author has been induced to prepare this little volume, as intervals of leisure afforded opportunity.

Excerpt from Report on the Wood Using Industries of Florida Agriculture has not yet greatly lessened the timber areas of Florida. About one acre in eight has been cleared. In many parts, in the southern half of the State particularly, the forest cover is so thin that the woods afford about a good pasturage as if the trees were not there. In the northern part, where the hardwoods of the Appalachian region overlap on Florida and soil is better, the forests' are generally much heavier. Many of the Florida rivers are ideal as driving streams for logs. The currents are sluggish, and the water usually deep. There are a few bars and no rapids. On small streams the chief obstacle in the way of log driving is frequently trees which grow along the banks and down to the extreme low water mark. These trunks sometimes so nearly close the channels that little space is left for logs to pass through. That difficulty is not often met on the larger rivers.

Excerpt from Products of American Forests The forest is a perpetual source of wood and other tree products that are vital to American well-being. The forest collects and regulates the flow of water needed for domestic and industrial uses. It provides a home for fish and game, and offers outdoor recrea tion to those who wish to retreat from city pressures. Within and about the forests are open areas where livestock can be grazed.

Excerpt from Biennial Report of the Southeastern Forest Experiment Station for the Years 1947 and 1948 In the Southeast (the five coastal states Virginia to Florida, inclusive) as elsewhere, high prices and strong demand continued to charac' terize the market for forest products of all kinds throughout most of the 1947-1948 period. Pulpwood production in 1947 was 12 percent greater than in 1945, reflecting an increase in capacity at new and existing mills. Lumber production increased over 1945 by about 18 percent. Producing saw mills totalled nearly nearly a 60 percent increase over 1942. Forest industry expansion continued, one indication being an increasing demand for resource information as obtained by the Forest Survey. The Station now handles several hundred Special requests per year. Though some price adjustment and a more exacting.market were clearly indicated at the close of 1948, the probable demand for wood over the next decade or so.
