Approximately eighty per cent of the American forests are now privately owned.

The chances are that most of these wooded tracts will always remain in the hands of private owners.

It is important that the production of these forests be kept up without injuring their future value.

We must prepare for the lumber demands of many years from now.
Some method must be worked out of harnessing our idle forest lands and putting them to work growing timber.

Any regulations that are imposed on the private owners of woodlands must be reasonable.
