 Our annual production of newsprint paper is equivalent to a strip as 

 wide as the ordinary daily and half the distance to the sun in 

 length 43 



Every day in the year several thousand trees find their way into 

 our wastebaskets 45 



Wood pulp in the form of papier mache is often pressed into molded 

 ornaments for ceilings, walls and mantel-pieces. Many lacquered 

 bowls and dishes are also made from wood pulp and old paper 

 boiled and ground up with glue or paste 47 



A dense and continuous forest the size of New York and Pennsyl- 

 vania together might, under proper management, furnish a 

 perpetual supply of wood for paper manufacture 49 



The wood bolts intended for pulp manufacture are usually floated 

 down the river to the mill where they are stacked by machinery 

 in great piles to supply the machines throughout the year 55 



These and countless other products we owe to the chemicals obtained 

 from wood distillation 61 



By the use of portable distillation retorts the land owner who desires 

 to get rid of tree stumps may obtain at least a partial return for 

 his trouble and labor 63 



Founding the maple sugar industry 69 



The production of naval stores has played an important part in the

For catastrophies of this nature forest planting is the only permanent 

 remedy 76 



The control of mountain torrents through the creation of forests 

 means a broad extension of irrigation and also of hydro-electric 

 development 77 



Although it is much easier to obtain tremendous sums for engineering 

 works to tap and control a known water supply, a number of our 

 well informed men beUeve that forest planting and protection 

 would accomphsh the desired object better and more cheaply than 

 an excess of reservoir construction 79 



Can anyone say that we do not love and care for trees when we 

 choose them as memorials to those who fell honorably for their 

 country 84 



The present high prices of furs are in part the result of forest destruc- 

 tion 87
