Some of them have changed their policies and are now doing all in their power to aid forest conservation. The ability of a properly managed forest to produce new crops of trees year after year promises us a future supply of wood sufficient for all our needs if only we will conserve our timberlands as they deserve.
It is our duty to handle the forests in the same way that fertile farming fields are managed. That is to say, they should be so treated that they will yield a profitable money crop every year without reducing their powers of future production.
Private owners and farmers are coming slowly to realize the grave importance of preserving and extending our woodlands.

Several of the States, including New York and Pennsylvania, have purchased large areas of timberlands for State forests.
