PREFACE 
In 1950 the United States Department of Agriculture Library issued Library List 52, covering literature on the 
economics of forestry for the years 1940 through 1947. Since that time, a significant volume of literature on the 
economics of forestry has been published. Therefore this supplement has been prepared covering the period 1948 
through 1952. It contains over 3,000 items selected after the examination of 6,000 references. 
In general, the principles used in compiling the 1950 List were used in compiling the supplement. Some 
changes, however, resulting from constructive criticism of the earlier work, were incorporated. For example, the 
new category Management of Forest-Products Industries and Commerce combines the former categories Management 
of Forest-Products Harvesting and Processing, and The Meeting of Supply and Demand. The pattern of sub-categories 
largely remains unchanged. , 
Call numbers following each entry in the bibliography are those of the U. S. D. A. Library, unless the symbol 
for another library’s collection is shown, i.e. Libr. Cong., Dept. Interior, or FS, standing for U.S. Forest Service 
files. Theses without call numbers usually may be obtained from the colleges and universities issuing them. 
Dwight Hair of the Division of Forest Economics, U.S. Forest Service, gave generous assistance as reviser. 
Acknowledgement also is made of the continued help and interest of Prof. William A. Duerr of the State University of 
New York College of Forestry, Syracuse, who is joint editor of the standard work RESEARCH IN THE ECONOMICS 
OF FORESTRY (1953), for which these bibliographies are companion pieces.
