There are but a very few lumbering opera- 

 tions of any size m this country today, out- 

 side of New England, where trees are log- 

 ged with an idea of obtaining a second 

 crop. In some regions a greater precaution 

 is taken to prevent fires than in others, 

 which, of course, gives natural reproduc- 

 tion a chance. 



Summary. 



The history of European forestry is re- 

 peating itself in the United States. We 

 are progressing along exactly similar lines. 

 The price of standing timber abroad aver- 

 ages about as much as the price of manu- 

 factured lumber in this country at the 

 point of production, and long before stump- 

 age here has reached a valuation equal to 

 that in Europe, our forests will be protect- 

 ed, conserved and most carefully managed. 

 As soon as there is a sane system of taxa- 

 tion of timber lands, and adequate protec- 

 tion from fire, we shall begin to practice 

 forestry more extensively. It will accom- 

 pany and be in proportion to the increase 

 in the value of timber. For this reason 

 there will be no timber famine in Am- 

 erica. 



In seeking to solve the question of fire 

 risks and taxation, the foresters will not only 

 hasten the day when their own services will 

 be in demand but they will be at the same 

 time performing a service of benefit to 

 mankind.
