A ever before-recreation, watershed protection, wildlife, timber, "'--;':r: .";'C: wilderness. Foresters are often able to enhance production of these bene- fits. This book features forestry techniques that are helping to achieve .,;~~.~...t& the American dream for the forest. , ~- ,.- The story is for landolVners, which means it is for everyone. Millions . .~: of Americans own individual tracts of woodland, many have shares in companies that manage forests, and all OWII the public lands managed by government agencies. The forestry profession exists to help all these landowners obtain the benefits they want from forests; but forests have limits. Like all living things, trees are restricted in what they can do and where they can exist. A tree that needs well-drained soil cannot thrive in a marsh. If seeds re- quire bare soil for germination, no amount of urging will get a seedling established on a pile of leaves. The fOllOwing pages describe th.: ways in which stands of trees can be grown under commonly Occllrring forest conditions ill the United States. Originating, growing, and tending stands of trees is called silvicllllllr~ \ I, 'R"7'" -, l'l;l.f\ .. (silva is the Latin word for forest). Without exaggeration, silviculture is the heartbeat of forestry. It is essential when humans wish to manage the forests-to accelerate the production or wildlife, timber, forage, or to in- / crease recreation and watershed values. Of course, some benerits- t • wilderness, a prime example-require that trees be left alone to pursue their' OWII destiny.

SIMMONS, logging specialist NORTHEASTERN FOREST EXPERIMENT STATION FOREST SERVICE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE - - - WASHINGTON, D. C, 1951 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. Price 75 cents Preface THOSE who want to be successful in any line of work or business must learn the tricks of the trade one way or another. For most occupations there is a wealth of published information that explains how the job can best be done without taking too many knocks in the hard school of experience. For logging, however, there has been no ade- quate source of information that could be understood and used by the man who actually does the work in the woods. This NORTHEASTERN LOGGERS' HANDBOOK brings to- gether what the young or inexperienced woodsman needs to know about the care and use of logging tools and about the best of the old and new devices and techniques for logging under the conditions existing in the northeastern part of the United States. Emphasis has been given to the matter of workers' safety because the accident rate in logging is much higher than it should be. Sections of the handbook have previously been circulated in a pre- liminary edition. Scores of suggestions have been made to the author by logging operators, equipment manufacturers, and professional forest- ers.

JU NE 1 9 8 6 OMMENTARY c � What Einstein Meant Over the last few years, I have grown increasingly interested in and worried about the nuclear threat. Like many Americans, the more I learned, the more depressed I got, as I saw less and less hope of even slowing down the arms race. My outlook hit rock bottom in the summer of 1984, when I attended a seminar conducted by a large group of experts at Harvard and MIT. Most had spent their entire adult lives trying to end this threat to civilization as we know it, and their sense of failure and desperation showed in their faces and in their words. But then, all of a sudden that fall, I began to understand why we have failed to halt the arms race and what we have to do to ensure the survival of humanity. I would like to share that powerful experience with you here. I was organizing a series of lectures on the nuclear threat, and a colleague asked me to bring in a couple who had just moved to New Hampshire to work for some movement I've never heard of, called Beyond War.

Morisette keyed into electronic format the 1975 typed first edition of this interview using a photocopy of the original transcript provided by the Forest History Society. Morisette, who was not a Forest History Society employee, produced the electronic transcript for the purpose of providing himself a means of searching the text for specific information. He maintained original square [ ] and round ( ) bracket formatting included in the original transcript and added curly { } brackets around a few insertions he added into the text during his transcription. Morisette modified text only where obvious typographical errors appeared in the original or where different spellings of words more adequately reflected modern spelling standards. Michele A. Justice, Assistant Archivist/Librarian for the Forest History Society, edited and reformatted Morisette’s electronic transcription to produce the final 2004 revised edition of this interview. Due to reformatting pagination and footnote numbering in the 2004 revised edition differ from those in the original first edition.
