Excerpt from Management of Crown Forests at the Cape of Good Hope, Under the Old Regime and Under the NewIt was thus that I was led to give consideration to the con dition of the forests of the Colony, to the treatment to which they had been and were being subjected, to disastrous consequences which had made themselves apparent, and to means by which a more satisfactory treatment of the remaining forests might be secured, the disastrous consequences of the mis management of these might be prevented, and disastrous consequences of what had been done might be averted.In the Colony of the Cape of Good Hope, as in many other places, it is customary to destroy old, withered, and dry vegetation by fire, to clear the ground, and promote the produc tion of new succulent shoots to supply preferable nutritious food for ¿ocks and herds, upon the increase and rearing Of which most of the rural population are dependent for the means Of support, the conditions of the Colony throughout extensive regions being more suitable for pastoral than for agricultural industries.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
