irrysistible; and the only hope of the forester would lie (as im fact « ; 
4% does) in his advocacy of natural laws and metnods, wiich constantly 
support his contentions by demonstrations of their soundness. But 
even in older countries, such as Germany, foresters nave leaned far 
towards the maximum production of game regardless of damage to the 
forest, and have as a consequence been forced to resort to expense in 
protecting reproduction from extermineticn by trowsing, that would 
be impossible in America for decades to come. At the meeting of the 
German Society of Foresters in the summer of 1945, a resolution was 
unanimously and enthusiastically endorsed? to the effect that the 
total populetion of game in the German forests must be considerably 
reduced if the public éxbected these forests to continue to produce 
a reasonably adequate drop of timber for the use of the nation, 
The crux of the situation here will lie in‘the possible damage 
by browsing, to the reproduction cf tress. Already meny examples 
have occurred of pvlantatiéns decimated by winter browsing of deer. 
With proper coordination of forest mansgement, including the provi- 
sion for abundant supply of preferred foods (deer: do not eet ever- 
_greens by choice) end the prevention of rainous over-population by 
a regulated kill, it wiil.be pessible to raise; not the maximum of 
wood alone, nor yet the greatest number of game animals, but the 
maximum crops of both trees and game taken as a whole, on areas on 
“which no-one interest is allowed to dominate and destroy the rights 
-..and welfare of all others, but which are menaged for the greatest 
food of all, in perpetuity.
