The majority of the technical men are forestry-school graduates, but geologists, entomologists, pathologists, botanists, chemists, engineers, economists, statisticians, and others are also used. Most of the technicians employed in research have had advanced train- ing; many have doctors' degrees or their equivalent. The various phases of forest research require as a foundation broad training in natural science with emphasis on forestry, regardless of whether the technician is to deal with forest management and protection, watershed management, range management, forest products, or forest economics. Advanced work—be- yond this foundation training in forestry—may be in any one or more of a large group of biological or other sciences, such as plant physiology, pathology, entomology, ecology, soils, genetics, taxonomy, mathematics, and organic A forest-research project. The rate of snow melt in the forest is studied with the help of special equipment. State and Private Forest Cooperation About 386 million acres, or nearly four-fifths of our total commercial timber-growing area, are now in State or private ownership. Of this, 359 million acres are privately owned and include 165 million acres in farm woodlands. The area under State or county ownership is continuously in- creasing through public acquisition for State forest purposes and through tax delinquency. The future of forestry in the United States depends in no small degree upon acceptance and operation of better forestry practices on private Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of t
