  • A Resolution favoring the proposed National Forest Reserve in the Hardwood Region of the Southern Appalachian Mountains." (Adopted by the National Hardwood Lumber Association at its meeting in St. Louis, May 16, 1902.) Whereas;, The numerous forest reserves established by the National Government are all located in the West and not one of them embraces any portion of the great hardwood forests of the country: Resolved, That the National Hardwood Lumber Association respectfully urges upon Congress the importance of establishing the proposed National Forest Reserve in the hardwood region of the Southern Appalachian Mountains, both as a means of preserving these mountains and preventing disastrous floods, and ' also as a means of demonstrating to the people of this country what can be done in the way of using hardwood forests, and at the same time perpetuating them for the benefit of future generations. Resolutions favoring this measure have also been adopted by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Forestry Association, National Board of Trade, and various other scientific and business organizations in different parts of the country. It has the support of both the general and technical press, including that of the great lumber journals and engineering magazines. The unanimous adoption of the above resolution by the National Hardwood Lumber Association, at its recent meeting in St. Louis, was based upon the following considerations: Necessity of Providing a Future Timber Supply.—The practical lumbermen of to-day look forward to forest perpetuation through intelligent use as the hope of our future timber supply. They realize more clearly than can the general public the fact that, while the existing supply of hardwood timber is ample for present needs, these forests are being so badly managed and so rapidly cut that the future supply should be already a matter of concern. The seriousness of the situation is increased by the fact that hardwood forests, as compared with the pines, are more extensively and permanently injured by fires; they naturally reproduce more slowly; the timber has fewer substitutes; and these hardwoods are never, like the pine, ♦Provided for in Senate Bill 5,228 and House Bill 13,523.
