THE SCHOOL BOOK OF FORESTRY - CHARLES LATHROP P...

Our forests  with their billions of trees  are the backbone of agriculture  the skeleton of
lumbering  and the heart of industry. Even now  in spite of their depletion  they are the cream
of our natural resources. They furnish wood for the nation  pasture for thousands of cattle and
sheep  and water supply for countless cities and farms. They are the dominions of wild life.
Millions of birds  game animals  and fish live in the forests and the forest streams. The time
is coming when our forests will be the greatest playgrounds of America. It is necessary that we
preserve  protect  and expand our timberlands. By so doing we shall provide for the needs of
future generations. The forest is one of the most faithful friends of man. It provides him with
materials to build homes. It furnishes fuel. It aids agriculture by preventing floods and
storing the surplus rainfall in the soil for the use of farm crops. It supplies the foundation
for all our railroads. It is the producer of fertile soils. It gives employment to millions of
workmen. This school book of forestry is a reprint of the original published in 1922.
Illustrated with many historic pictures.
