Excerpt from The State Forester of Massachusetts: Sixth Annual Report, 1909
Never has there been a time in the history of the State when forestry matters more need the wholesome consideration of your honorable body than the present. Forestry and forest products have been our birthright, and we do well to reflect upon their importance to the present in the building of our ship of State, and not lose sight of the necessity of conserving them for our future needs. The histories of older nations are an open book to us, and tell only too well their pathetic tale.
