Our Nation could make more effective 

 use of her timberland. There are too 

 many acres with too few trees; 114 

 million acres are growing little or no 

 timber. This means that 1 out of every 

 4 acres of America's commercial for- 

 est land is idle. Much more intensive 

 forestry is needed to get these lands 



to producing the timber they should. 

 Recently cut lands have a prominent 

 place in this picture of poor productiv- 

 ity. Some of these lands are being 

 kept in good growing condition. On 

 many, however, so few trees are left 

 after cutting that conditions for growth 

 are poor.
