Présentation de l'éditeur

When from any cause a necessity exists in any country for the removal of its forests from extended areas, unless care be taken as to the manner in which such removal is made, and some parts are left wooded, irreparable injuries will inevitably follow. In the United States, where the enormous increase in population has resulted in the removal of the forests from extended areas, such intelligence and care have unfortunately, in most cases, not been exercised. The timber lands have generally been purchased at figures based almost entirely on the value of the standing wood. The trees have been cut down in a reckless manner, and fires, carelessly started, have often been left indifierently to burn themselves out. l!o attempts have been made to protect the soil that has been denuded of its natural protective covering by the axe or the fire.
