WASHINGTON: GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE. 1902. 5% th,r SL')Lcttr and I-lonfW ofR~~~/,~~~sc)ltltli,'eS: I transmit herewith a report of the Secretary of Agriculture, pre- pared in collaboration with the Department of the Interior, upon the forests, rivers, and mountains; of the Southern L4ppalachian region, and upon its agricultural situation as affected by t’lem. The report of the Secretary presents t#he final results of an investigation authorized by the last Congress. Its conclusions point unmistakably, in the judg- ment of the Secretary and in my own, to the creation of a national forest reserve in certain lyarts of the Southern States. The facts ascer- tained and here presented deserve the careful consideration of the Congress; they have already received the full attention of the scientist and the lumberman. They set forth an economic need of prime impor- tance to the welfare of the South, and hence to that of the nation as a whole, and they point to the necessity of protecting t,hrough wise use a mountain region whose influence flows far beyond its borders with the waters of the rivers to which it gives rise. Among the elevations of the eastern half of t.he United States the Southern ;Lppalachians are of paramount interest for geographic, hydrographic, and forest reasons, and, as a consequence, for economic reasons as well.
