Our pine lands of the southern states must be restocked and made permanently productive.

Then they could maintain the turpentine industry, provide all the lumber of this kind we need for home use, and supply a larger surplus for export.
Although our supplies of Douglas fir, western white pine, sugar pine and western yellow pine are still large, they will have to bear an extra burden when all the southern pine is gone.

This indicates that the large supplies of these woods will not last as long as we would wish.

To prevent overtaxing their production, it is essential that part of the load be passed to the southern pine cut-over lands.

By proper protection and renewal of our forests, we can increase our production of lumber and still have a permanent supply.
