How the National Forests Serve the Public.
"The Use of the National Forests," a publication just printed by the Department of Agriculture, is a brief, clear manual for public information as to the forest policy of the national government. Many people do not know what National Forests are. Others may have heard much about them, but have no idea of their true purpose and use. It is the object of this publication to explain just what the National Forests mean, what they are for, and how to use them. Their direct use and value are shown from the point of view of the home-seeker, the prospector and miner, the user of timber, the user of the range, the user of water, and other users of Forest resources. It is shown how the Forests are intended for use, for the production of usable products, and for the establishment and maintenance of homes. The book is written by Mr. Frederick E. Olmsted, whose intimate knowledge of conditions in the West and the policy under which the National Forests are managed especially fits him to deal with the subject.
