Excerpt from Annual Report, 1952The national obligation for defense and foreign aid brings a pinch on normal services of the federal government, including forest research. Inflation not compensated by appropriations has meant a steady decline for several years in the Station's research efforts. While appropriations have remained about the same, the value of the research dollar has shrunk greatly. This has been offset only in part by an increase in cooperative research funds.Pressing from the other direction is an increasing need for more re search to guide the rapid expansion of the South's tremendous forest enter prise. More accurate information on the location and extent of timber sup plies is in great demand. The increase in intensive forest management practices in the Southeast is crowding the rate at which such practices can be assisted by research. Information is needed now on forest genetics, on forest regeneration of dry sandy areas, on reclamation and management of poorly drained areas, and on utilization of less valuable and little-used species-problems that have been largely passed over in earlier research because of lack of consumer interest. There is no lack of such interest now.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
