(11) That all State-owned forests shall be utilized for continuous 

 production, both for direct returns in forest products and indirect 

 returns in soil protection, game, and recreation. 



(12) That all State-owned forest property shall be capitalized upon 

 the records of the administrative body so that all expenses in connec- 

 tion with the development thereof and returns therefrom may be ac- 

 counted for on a business basis to the people of the State who furnish 

 the funds for the undertaking and enjoy its results. 



The fundamental problem is to grow more trees. This will not be 

 accomplished by legal compulsion upon the private owner. It may be 

 accomplished through leadership, cooperation, and the adoption of 

 measures that will make it safe and profitable for private capital to 

 seek permanent investment in forest production.
