progressive owners. It would not of itself bring about 

 the most desirable type of forest management. But it 

 would prevent further destructive exploitation of our 

 forest resources. And it should bring order out of chaos 

 and supplant suspicion on the part of industry by whole- 

 hearted cooperation for the common good. 



The Forest Service believes that such public regula- 

 tion will prove to have a most effective educational value 

 in promoting better forest management. It recognizes, 

 however, that arbitrary application as a punitive 

 measure would doom it to failure. 



(2) Public aid to private owners.— As another part 

 of a national program of forest conservation, the Forest 

 Service and other conservation agencies have recom- 

 mended expansion of public aid to private owners in 

 fire protection, insect and disease control, research in 

 woods management and wood utilization problems, and 

 other cooperative aids.

 pulpwood has been made in this stand. Plenty of growing 

 stock has been left for the future.
