Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Biennial Report of the State Forester to the State Forestry Board of the State of Georgia, 1925-1926 Forestry had its beginning in Georgia in the Forestry Act of 1921 providing for a State Board of Forestry composed of five ex - officio members and four citizens appointed by the Governor from the State at Large. The duties of this Board were purely investigative, and to report to the General Assembly of Georgia with whatever recommendations the said Board sees fit to make. However, there were no funds available for the work. The first official report to the General Assembly of Georgia was made in 1922 in compliance with the Act of 1921. The splendid report of this Board received most favorable com ment from all parts of the country. The limited number of copies print-ed was soon exhausted by the enormous demand for this information.

Will not be necessary to cover these vital points in this report except by reference. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
