This miracle of renewed life is converting millions of acres of “lands into productive farms, yielding a harvest of trees. That is why timber is often called “America’s only remewable resource.” Modern-day timber operatots aid Nature by leaving adequate sources of seed for future forests, by planting seedlings when n , and by spending millions of dollars for fire prevention. By such methods, America’s 630, 000,000 acres of forest lands can grow all the timber we need—for homes, for commerce, for national security and for recreation.
