184 FOREST UTILIZATION WOOD USES AND ECONOMICS 



Forests, like the White Mountains in New Hampshire and Maine, are 

 based upon the supply of the timber from given drainage units to small 

 hardwood, bobbin, shoe heel, woodworking, toy, wooden box, furniture, 

 or other small plants that consume the growth of the areas naturally 

 tributary to them. 



As pointed out elsewhere, several million people are dependent upon 

 the forest for employment. The preponderant share of the wages for 

 this employment is in the logging, manufacturing, and distribution 

 phases of the forest industries. If timber is being grown continuously 

 and made available to these industries regularly, they in turn will be 

 consistently supplied and maintained. This is the very essence of 

 good forestry and of sustained yield management.
