"Ou, Living Fotests"
"Our Living Forests," is a new book by Joseph T. Hazard. The author, who considers himself "part layman, part forester, part timber operator and part recreationalist," is now secretary of the Washington State Land Board, whicl-r administers two and one-quarter million acres of forest lands under the educational land grants of the state.
"My main purpose in writing Our Living Forests," Mr. Hazard says, "is to prove that under modern forest management we may use our forests in all legitimate ways and still have them. It has been my endeavor to present these proofs in such a way that those who are neither scientific foresters nor logging engineers will be entertained, instructed, and convinced."
The book is now on sale in book stores throughout the country. It is published by Superior Publishing Company, Third and Vine Streets. Seattle. Price M.00.
