No single book treats of the subject of economics of forestry 

 professionally, but the journal literature, proceedings of asso- 

 ciations, and official reports are discussing many phases of it. 



Among these should first of all be mentioned the various 

 Government Reports : — 



Reports of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Govern- 

 ment Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 



The first comprehensive discussion, containing a large 

 amount of information on the conditions then prevailing and 

 the prospects, are two long articles, namely, one published in 

 the report for i860, — 



"The forests and trees of northern America as connected 

 with climate and agriculture," by J. G. Cooper, 



and the other, published in i86j, — 



"American forests, their destruction and preservation," by 

 Rev. Frederic Starr. 



The following is a complete reference list to forestry sub- 

 jects in the reports of the Department of Agriculture from 

 the years i860 to 1886 : — 



Forest acreage in farms by states, 1875, 247. 

 and farm areas by states, 1884, 490. 

 area of United States by states, 1885, 186. 

 cultivation, general remarks, 1851, 53.
