Excerpt from Report of the Pennsylvania Department of Forests and Waters, From January 1, 1922 to May 31, 1924The revelation of this condition in Pennsylvania and other States has stirred the public to the need for comprehensive conservation programs. It is giving more and more thought to the production and use of forest, stream and mine. It is supporting intelligent action to assure a continuance of these resources. In no State are constructive efforts in conservation more earnestly supported by its citizens than in Pennsylvania. To no State will the benefits secured be greater.Our acres of forest land are capable of turning out, if handled properly, cords of wood annually. The benefits to the State of properly managed forests. Aside from their wood value, are incalculable, touching as they do the health, welfare and happiness of every citizen. Our water courses, with an annual run-off of approximately million cubic feet, are of in estimable worth for water supply, water power, and navigation. Their possibilities under development are tremendous. The mineral resources of the State have made her the industrial Titan among the States of the Union. The wise use of our natural resources, whether renewable or non-renewable. Is the measure of our thrift and stewardship.The treatment and use of such important resources. Which occupy an outstanding place in our everyday life, is worthy of the most enlightened study and practice - a program to which the Common wealth is now definitely committed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
