mountain national forest and the state
forests may be counted on to furnish a
continuous supply of saw-timber, the
report points out; but unless their
areas are materially increased the
amounts produced will be relatively
small.
Protection of the remaining forests
from fire, and the growing of new for
ests are the two principal measures adj
vocated by forest service to remedy ex
listing conditions. There are millions of
acres of land in the region now idle,
which can be most profitably employed
in the production OF timber, it is point
ed out. If this land is put TO growing
trees and an effective system of pro.
lection from fire is established, the
New England states can materially in
crease their timber output and keep
within their own borders millions of
dollars now spent for lumber brought
from other regions.
