PREFACE 



I urge no man to make forestry his pro- 

 fession, but rather to keep away from it if 

 he can. In forestry a man is either alto- 

 gether at home or very much out of place. 

 Unless he has a compelling love for the 

 Forester's life and the Forester's work, let 

 him keep out of it. 



G.P.
