BOOK REVIEWS 



"Studies in French Forestry," by Theodore 



S. Woolsey, Jr. (John Wiley & Sons, 



Inc.) 1920. 



Perhaps the chief value of this book 

 lies in the fact that the wealth of detailed 

 information which it contains is presented 

 from the American point of view. Whether 

 the subject under discussion has to do 

 with natural regeneration, artificial refores- 

 tation, control of erosion, regulation of the 

 cut, forest law, forest policy, or forest 

 economics, the author is obviously trying 

 not only to present a complete and ac- 

 curate picture of French practice, but to 

 stress those points of particular interest 

 and value to American readers. Among 

 the many interesting points brought out 

 by the book the most striking is the suc- 

 cess achieved by the French in making 

 forest conservation a truly national policy, 

 approved of and participated in by the great 

 bulk of the people. As a result it has been 

 possible for France to effect the regenera- 

 tion of immense areas of forest lands 

 formerly devastated by years of war and 

 other abuse. Other important achieve- 

 ments include the reforestation of eroded 

 mountain lands, including the control of 

 torrents, and the reclamation of the sand 

 barrens of Gascony and the Landes. The 

 story of how these latter were converted 

 by draining and the planting of maritime 

 pine from a fever-ridden, bankrupt waste to 

 one of the most progressive and prosperous 

 regions in France is of absorbing interest. 



One of the most striking features of 

 forest conservation in France is the recog- 

 nition of the forest as a resource standing 

 apart from other resources in its need for 

 extraordinary care and protection. This 

 has led to the adoption of a special penal 

 code for the forests and to the enactment 

 of legislation forbidding the denudation of 

 privately owned forest lands, which con- 

 stitute 70 iper cent of the total forest area 

 of the country. The public forests are in 

 general better managed, produce a higher 

 quality of timber, and by demonstrating 

 good forestry have had a marked effect in 

 raising standards generally. 



The first and last chapters of the book 

 "Impressions of French Forestry," and 

 "The American Forest Engineers in 

 France," are contributed by W. B. Greeley, 

 who pays his respect in no uncertain terms 

 to the French people and foresters. He 

 emphasizes particularly the fact that "we 

 may learn much in seeing how a nation 

 just as democratic and individualistic as 

 our own has met a forest situation similar 

 in some respects to that which America 

 is approaching." His account of the ac- 

 tivities of the forest engineers in France 

 is a fascinating tale of achievement in the 

 face of apparently insuperable obstacles.
