THE FOREST RESOURCES OF THE WORLD. 



To supplement Table 22, it may be added that in the German 

 Empire 66 per cent of the total forest area is under state control. In 

 Austria, Hungary, France, Switzerland, Italy, Sweden, and Den- 

 mark the private forests are under state control; and for this reason 

 the forest area under state supervision is much larger than the figures 

 in the above table would indicate. 



The forests of the United States form less than 29 per cent of the 

 entire land area. The following table gives the forest area and per- 

 centage of the entire land area under forests, by States and Terri- 

 tories. The forest area per inhabitant is about 8 acres, corresponding 

 closely to that in Sweden and Norway.
