up by agriculture.
The old tradition that all denuded forest land is
being taken by agriculture went a-glimmering many
years ago. The fact is that the area of cutover or
burned over forest land that has not been trans-
formed to agricultural use now reaches the stagger-
ing total of 181,000,000 acres.
Several of the states have embarked on reforesta-
tion programs, notably Pennsylvania, Michigan, and
Massachusetts. In congress a bill is pending aiming
to increase the effectiveness of the fight against forest
fires to extend public ownership of lands more suit-
able to reforestation than to agriculture and to en-
courage private owners to regrow trees. It is re-
garded by the lumber industry as a great step
forward.
