IMPROVING ON NATURE 



Nature, unaided, is often an indifferent forester. In a natural forest many trees 

 are stunted and suppressed beneath wide spreading trees. In other parts of the 

 forest may be large spaces without tree growth at all. 



In forests planted by man, trees are equally spaced and the trees are uniform in 

 size and growth. Every foot of soil is used. So a well planted acre of forest produces 

 several times as much wood as a natural forest.
