Timber lands are being depleted.
The people Of the United States are
using more than three and one.half
times as much timber as is grown. 1t
is evident that, sooner or later, pro,
vision must be made to grow more
timber.
The national government owns and
through the forest service controls
100 national forests averaging more
than 100000 acres each. This Is
less than onethird Of the forest land
owned by private individuals. The
