Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Forest Fires in North Carolina During 1914: And Forestry Laws of North Carolina
The only possible reason for this condition is that our people them selves are not well enough informed on this subject. They do not yet realize the pressing necessity for a permanent supply of timber for our industries and for the people as a whole. They do not yet understand that where seedlings and young trees of our more valuable species are killed by fire our future forests will be of greatly reduced value; that burnt - over forests yield the minimum returns in timber, while protected forests yield the maximum; that unburnt forests pay the highest returns to the owners, to the community, and to the State.
