G22. Stevens, Carl M. Forest industries and the income tax. Jour. Forestry 18: 329- 

 337. 1920. — A history of the development of the present United Slates income tax is given 

 with its aims, organization and administration. — E. N. Munns. 



623. T., E. P. [Rev. of: Surface, Henry E. Feasibility of manufacturing paper from 

 pulp from Tasmanian timbers. Rept. Dept. Lands and Survey of Tasmania for L914 1915. 

 P. 88-43. Hobart, 1915.] New Zealand Jour. Sri. Tech. 1: 379 :ivi. 191s. One of the tim- 

 bers the pulping qualities of which were investigated was Nothofagus Cunninghamii, known 

 in Tasmania as "myrtle," and closely related to a limber similar to Nothofagus Menzit 

 (bushman's "silver birch," or "southland beech" of timber traders). Author recommends 

 that, as a purely business enterprise, the utilization of Tasmanian hardwoods for pulp or 

 paper making should not be given further consideration. Their fibers are too short. He also 

 studied swamp gum {Eucalyptus rcgnaris), blue gum (E. Globulus), stringy bark (E. obliqua), 

 and silver wattle (Acacia dealbala), none of which is suitable for paper pulp. Tasmanian 

 manufacture of paper pulp for sale would not be a profitable undertaking. — C. S. Gager. 



624. T., J. A. [Rev. of: Hutchins, D. E. Waipona Kauri forest, its demarcation and 

 management. 63 p. Illus., map. Lands and Survey Dept.: Wellington, New Zealand. 

 191S.] New Zealand Jour. Sci. Tech. 2: 223-224. 1919.— As now demarked by Hutchins, the 

 Waipona forest is eleven miles long from east to west, and nearly nine miles broad from north 

 to south, including 29,830 acres, of which 28,880 are occupied by the main block of forest. 

 The total timber stand of the forest is estimated at 288,020,000 superficial feet of timber. A 

 working plan for the forest is outlined. It is anticipated that the forest will become as well 

 known in Australasia as the Black Forest is in Germany. [See also Bot. Absts. 6, Entry 569.] 

 — C. S. Gager. 



625. Terry, E. 1. Public acquisition or control. Jour. Forestry 18: 324-325. 1920 — 

 Differing from the plans so far proposed, it is believed the main objective of the United States 

 forest policy should be the public acquisition of two-thirds of the private timber lands of the 

 country within forty years. — E. N. Munns. 



626. Tierney, D. P. The cut-over land problem. Jour. Forestry 18: 498-501. 1920 — 

 There are no means at present adequate to safeguard the millions of acres of restocking forest 

 land in the United States from indiscriminate cutting and waste. This is due to dependence 

 of forest management upon annual appropriations from legislative bodies. More attention 

 should be given to securing a known fund without having to persuade a legislative body to 

 make this appropriation annually. A forest program should begin with restocking lands first, 

 before acquiring lands on which forests will have to be established. Land purchases should 

 be restricted to watershed-protection areas and lands close to areas now under forest manage- 

 ment. — E. N. Munns. 



627. Toumey, J. W. [Rev. of: Ise, John. United States forest policy. 395 p. Yale 

 Univ. Press: New Haven, 1920.] Jour. Forestry 18: 558-560. 1920.— The work is that of an 

 economist and historian, who develops the history of the present policy without reservations. 

 As to a future policy, too little consideration is given, especially with the present forestry- 

 policy movement under way. — E. N. Munns. 



628. Totjmey, J. W. [Rev. of: Pulling, Howard E. Sunlight and its measurement. 

 Plant World 20: 151-171, 187-209. 1918.] Jour. Forestry 18: 431-433. 1920. 



629. Turner, J. E. C. Lopping in the Kumaon Circle, United Provinces. Indian Forester 

 46: 240-247. 1920.— Nomadic native tribes still practice destructive cutting of all live 

 branches of oak for their flocks during heavy snowfall, when other browse is unavailable de- 

 spite rules that permit only the cutting of the lower two-thirds of the branches. This is result- 

 ing in the destruction of the oak forest and of grazing values when practiced constantly. 

 Recommendations are made to prevent such action. — E. N. Munns.
