Lands Must Be Kept at Work for Timber Growth
Portland forest service chief Col. W. B. Greeley warned that more than 80,000,000 acres of forest land have been denuded to idle status. He urged keeping timber lands active, citing U.S. dominance in world lumber and the need to expand wood growing to avoid future shortages. He noted ongoing fires and logging reduce productive land and warned of grave consequences if not reversed. Abilene report notes four baby boys born in Taylor County within a year.
