Forestation urges action to conserve federal and state reserves
The Year Book of the Department of Agriculture notes droughts and fires but stresses that enforcement gives teeth to laws. It highlights growth in federal forest reserves from 39 million to 165 million acres and state reserves to 7.5 million acres, with eleven states adopting systematic forest legislation. Immediate vigorous action is needed to prevent wood shortages and support national industries, as Ohio lacks reserves but could join conservation efforts alongside New York, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan, which together hold 2.64 million acres.
