The farm woodlot A handbook of forestry for the farmer and the student in agriculture

"It is the purpose of this book to aid the farmer in the establishment, care, and utilization of such small patches or plantations of timber as may be maintained in connection with the farm. The actual operations and the information necessary to conduct them are described accurately, we hope, but in a brief and popular style. The history and significance of the forests are briefly sketched as a background for the more specific data which apply directly to the woodlot, but the complicated and technical problems which are encountered only in the management of large tracts of forest have been carefully avoided.
It is hoped that the volume will prove of value to the woodlot owner as a handbook in the proper management of his tree crop, and as a textbook for the agricultural student, who should be familiar with the possibilities of all his farm lands."

This handbook of forestry is a reprint of the original published in 1914. Illustrated with many historic pictures.
