From the preface: "This book is an outgrowth of lectures delivered to agricultural students on Farm Forestry throughout several years. It is written for study by students in Agricultural Colleges and in High Schools.
In the preparation of the book the author owes much to the many writers on subjects relating to the care and management of the farm woodlot and the utilization of the products of the woodlot. The Bulletins and circulars issued by the United States Forest Service, by Agricultural Experiment Stations and by State Forestry Departments relating to these subjects, are full of valuable material and are the chief sources of information. The aim has been to bring together in available form ideas and principles already well known."
