Sales are made to the farming community and many trees are used by the Forest Department in its reafforestation programmes.

Ornamental Trees For The Farm Garden, P Luff

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

THE need for trees in the farm garden is being realized by many people.

Trees around the homestead are required to give such features as shade, colour, fragrance and many other advantages to generally make an area more livable.

Besides these advantages, trees appear to help smaller plants flourish by increasing the humidity and providing various degrees of shade and sunlight.

Forestry Bulletin No. 9: Silviculture Of Shortleaf Pine, Laurence C. Walker, Harry V. Wiant Jr

Forestry Bulletins No. 1-25, 1957-1972

"Nowhere is silviculture more intensively practiced than in the southern United States exempt, perhaps, in certain European nations. This is because of the tremendous demands upon the forests for fiber in a region of optimum climatic characteristics for rapid growth of valuable species. In meeting these demands, management instructs its foresters to shift their efforts into high gear."

Distribution In Minnesota Of Acer Saccharum, Tilia Americana And Betula Lutea, Edward Flaccus

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

The distribution in Minnesota of three tree species (Acer saccharum, Betula lutea and Tilia americana) of the northern hardwood type have been plotted, using data from the Third Forest Inventory of the Lake States' Forest Experiment Station, herbaria records and records of occurrence from personal and other's field work. Maps are presented that give more detailed distributions than have heretofore been available. All three species show concentration in a belt along the North Shore of Lake Superior. Acer saccharum and Tilia Americana show the expected close correspondence of distribution in this belt and in a broad extension westward, almost to …

"Point-sampling is a valuable tool in the kit of the practicing forester. It is employed for permanent and temporary sampling and for growth studies. Since the concept of point-sampling is new in American forestry, different approaches have been employed to explain its application."

Bee Farming : Honey Flora Of Western Australia, R S. Coleman

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

A GOOD knowledge of the nectar producing plants of the State is essential for success in commercial beekeeping.

The beekeeper who has a good knowledge of which plants produce good flows, when the flows might be expected, and where good stands of those plants may be found is the one who has the best chance of success.

Wild Life In A Modern Age, Clee Francis Howard Jenkins

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

THE present human population of the earth is estimated at about 2 1/2 thousand million, and reliable sources consider that this figure will be doubled by the year 2000.

Although the pessimistic forecasts of Malthus have not yet come true, it is obvious that the world's food requirements, must lead to increased exploitation of land and other primary resources, with consequent repercussions on all forms of wild life.

Trees And Shrubs Of Kings Canyon National Park, Kenneth M. Stocking

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

In 1935 I first visited the Kings Canyon area. Since then I have spent many hours wandering through the woods and over the mountains in the area around the old General Grant National Park and the country which is now included in the Kings Canyon National Park. To my knowledge, no complete flora has been made for this vicinity. I consider the following pages to be the beginning of a fascinating work. It is the beginning because this paper includes only plants with woody stems.

The European Pine Shoot Moth (Rhyacionia Buoliana Schiff.): With Special Reference To Its Occurrence In The Eli Whitney Forest, Roger B. Friend, Allen S. West Jr

Yale School of the Environment Bulletin Series

The European pine shoot moth has been recognized as a pest .in Europe for over a century. It was first discovered in the United States in 1914, since when it has become a serious enemy of red pine. The insect is becoming increasingly abundant in this country and is known to be present in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, possibly Florida, and in the provinces of Ontario and British .Columbia in Canada. Some fifteen species of pines susceptible to injury in varying degree have been reported as hosts .of this insect, …

The Transportation Of Wood In Chutes, Alexander M. Koroleff, Ralph Clement Bryant

Yale School of the Environment Bulletin Series

Artificial channels, known as chutes, in which logs and bolts may be transported down steep slopes by means of gravity, were devised several centuries ago in the mountainous regions of Europe and later were used by north American loggers, especially in New England, New York, and Pennsylvania. They operate most advantageously on grades that are far in excess of those on which wheeled vehicles or sleds can be used safely, and they are most serviceable for moving timber on terrain which is so steep or broken that the construction cost of suitable roads is prohibitive.

The Pine Tipmoth In The Nebraska National Forest, M. H. Swenk

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

On May 8, 1911, Mr. Smith Riley, the District Forester, with headquarters at Denver, in a letter to Acting Supervisor Pierce at Halsey, requested that the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station take up energetically the investigation of the pine tipmoth in the Nebraska National Forest. This request being presented to the Department by Mr. Pierce later in the month resulted in the presentation of the problem to the Experiment Station Council as a proposed Station project. The project was approved on May 31, 1911, and the expenses of the investigations of 1911 and 1912 that are reported upon in this bulletin …

The Transportation Of Logs On Sleds, Alexander Michael Koroleff, Ralph C. Bryant

Yale School of the Environment Bulletin Series

Heavy sleds, designed to transport timber from the forest to water courses down which it is floated or to haul it to mill or market, have been perfected chiefly in the United States and Canada. The importance of this method is indicated by the fact that it is used in transporting approximately 90 per cent of the annual log input of New England and New York, 80 per cent of that of the Lake States, and 100 per cent of that of Alaska and of Canada, exclusive of British Columbia.

The credit for the development of sled-hauling methods in the …

It is published to supply the demand for a simple and comprehensive classification that is adapted to any library system. The work was begun about one year ago and included a study of all available data on the subject. A tentative outline was submitted to prominent members of the profession from whom helpful suggestions were received.

The subject has been divided into nine parts of approximately equal importance. The secondary divisions also have been limited to nine and …

Fearsome Creatures Of The Lumberwoods: With A Few Desert And Mountain Beasts, William T. Cox, Coert Du Bois

Nebraskiana Publications: Resources and Materials on the 37th State

Every lumber region has its lore. Thrilling tales of adventure are told in camp wherever the logger has entered the wilderness. The lumber jack is an imaginative being, and a story loses none of its interest as it is carried and repeated from one camp to another. Stories which I know to have originated on the Penobscot and the Kennebec are told, somewhat strengthened and improved, in the redwood camps of Humboldt Bay. Yarns originating among the river drivers of the Ottawa, the St. Croix, and the upper Mississippi are respun to groups of listening loggers on Vancouver Island. But …
