WHY THE LUMBERMAN SHOULD PRACTICE FORESTRY The lumber industry of this country can aid reforestation by practicing better methods.

It can harvest its annual crop of timber without injuring the future production of the forests.

It can limit forest fires by leaving the woods in a safe condition after it has removed the timber.

Some private timber owners who make a living out of cutting lumber, have even reached the stage where they are planting trees.

They are coming to appreciate the need for replacing trees that they cut down, in order that new growth may develop to furnish future timber crops.
The trouble in this country has been that the lumbermen have harvested the crop of the forests in the shortest possible time instead of spreading out the work over a long period.
