Practical Forestry is one of the most recent industries to be 

 brought to the attention of the farmer. Few, however, yet realize the 

 importance of caring systematically lor'the trees that form the wood 

 lot on nearly every farm, or of husbanding the timber tracts that it is 

 the privilege of a few land owners to possess. 



It is for the purpose of emphasizing some of the most fundamental 



principles that underlie. this increasingly important branch of farm 



economy that the Forest 'Service of tne't/nited States Department of 



Agriculture was asked to o : Qperat-e in tlje preparation of this Bulletin.
