Excerpt from Practical Arboriculture: How Forests Influence Climate, Control the Winds, Prevent Floods, Sustain National Prosperity a Text Book for Railway Engineers, Manufacturers, Lumbermen and Farmers

Books have been written and printed at government expense to prove our vast possessions in forests, which have lulled Congress to sleep upon the matter of forest protection, while interested capitalists have obtained possession of all timber land, and are destroying the nation's wealth.
