Riassunto

Excerpt from Timber Growing and Logging Practice in the Douglas Fir Region: Measures Necessary to Keep Forest Land Productive and to Produce Full Timber Crops

Timber culture, like the growing of farm crops, is necessarily gov erned-ih any country by the soil and climate, by the requirements of the native forest trees, and by the national economic circumstances. Lessons may be drawn from the experience of other countries, as the United States has drawn upon the forestry practice of Europe; but profitable methods Of growing timber, particularly under the wide range of forest types and economic conditions in the United States, can be evolved only from our own experience and investigation, region by region. Hence, to meet the demand for information on practical ways and means of growing timber profitably in the various parts of the United States, it is important that the results of our own experience and investigation to date be brought together and set forth in the clearest possible way.

This the Forest Service has attempted to ddin a series of bulletins dealing with the 12 principal forest regions of the United States. The information presented has been gathered from many different sources, including the experience, as far as it was obtainable, of land owners who have engaged in reforestation. An effort has been made to bring together all that any agency has yet learned or demonstrated about the growing of timber in the United States, and the results have been verified as far as possible by consultation with the forest industries, State foresters, and forest schools. These publications thus undertake to set forth in a simple form what are believed to be the soundest methods of reforestation as yet developed in our com mon experience and study in the United States.
