Excerpt from National Afforestation The pressing need of afforestation and the lifelong interest that I have taken in the subject have caused me to record my experience and observations. The Scottish laird's advice to his son, "Be aye stikin' in a tree, Jock, it'll be growin' when ye're sleeping', " was never more appropriate than at the present time, when the axe of the woodman should give place to the spade of the planter. The cultivation of timber where formerly heath and gorse abounded is equally laudable with the making of two blades of grass grow where only one grew before.
