Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the State Forester of Wisconsin for 1909 and 1910 Wisconsin has ranked as one of the greatest lumber produc ing states in the Union and much of her wealth has and should come from her forests.

Census Bureau show us how rapidly Wisconsin is losing her proud position in lumber production, for while she ranked first in 1900 the figures for 1910 show that she has dropped to eighth place and that the decrease in production has been 4070, which is a greater loss than that of any other state. Our wood-using industries consume annually more than 930 million board feet of lumber valued at and this report OF the state forester.
