Valuation of American Timberlands e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This book is intended to supply certain information needed by the investor, timber cruiser and student of forestry. In other words, it aims to give for the continental United States and its outlying territories the principal facts regarding the timber resources. Hawaii has been omitted because its timber is useful mainly for its protective value and cutting in the commercial sense is only possible on a very limited scale. Likewise, the Canal Zone is not attractive to either the sawmill man or timberland investor by reason of the restricted area of American territory. The investor will find data which will not only enable him to form a notion of what the examination of a tract should cost but he should also get the salient features of the general type of which his particular holdings are but a small part. This work tries to give those basic facts upon which a superstructure of detailed knowledge concerning a particular tract may safely be erected.
