  • PT su 57th Congbess, [HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. J Repoet 1st Session. j 1 No. 1547. THE NATIONAL APPALACHIAN FOREST RFSERVE. April 11, 1902.—Committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union and ordered to be printed. Mr. Moody, of North Carolina, from the Committee on Agriculture, submitted the following REPORT, [To accompany H. R. 13523.] The Committee on Agriculture, to whom was referred the bills (H. R. 3128, H. R. 6543, and H. R. 12138) for the purchase of a national forest reserve in the Southern Appalachian Mountains, to be known as the "National Appalachian Forest Reserve," beg leave to submit the following report, and recommend that the accompanying bill (H.

As these reports treat of the matter so thoroughly, it is believed that anything further from this committee than the following brief statement would be merely cumulative and therefore superfluous. The purpose of this bill is to set aside in the southern Appalachian Mountain region a national reserve for the preservation of the forests of that district, the perpetuation of the timber supply, the development of its farming resources, and the regulation of the water flow in its streams. It authorizes the purchase for the people by the Secretary of Agriculture, under certain reasonable restrictions, of not more than 4,000,000 acres of land, to be selected in the mountain forest region of Virginia, West Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee. It also authorizes the Secretary to
