"American Forest Regulation" is intended primarily as a textbook on the theory and application of regulating the cut. It may also serve as a guide for forest administrators who must solve broad regulation problems at a reasonable cost. Emphasis has been placed on the discrimination and choice of material, rather than the collection and elaboration of a multitude of methods - many totally unsuited to American conditions. Forest management in the United States cannot be successful until it is definitely recognized that the cutting on all forests held for permanent production must be controlled by working plans based on sound silviculture, local economic requirements and rate of yield.
