Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forest Resources of the Lake States Region A number of sawmills and other wood - using plants in the Lake States have closed during the past decade, and some concern has been felt for the security of others because of a progressive decline in quantity, quality, and availability of standing timber. A major purpose of the survey, therefore, Was to determine the extent of remaining timber sup plies, the wood requirements of local industries, and the possibilities of meeting these requirements through proper management of the forest resources. Consideration was also given to the possibility of developing new industries to utilize materials hitherto left in the woods or wasted in the logging and milling process. While this report deals primarily with physical resources, the underlying purpose has been to measure the capacity of the forests to contribute to local revenue, employment. And community welfare.
