Greeley Urges Forest Farming To Protect Timber Supply
Chief Forester William B. Greeley urges a nationwide shift to forest farming as a means to conserve timber. He notes world demand and a 1906 to 1920 decline in U S lumber output from 46 to 34 billion board feet, plus per capita use dropping from 600 to 820 feet. He argues forests can be grown and that investing in protection and rehabilitation would lower costs and freight.
