Up in the Pacific Northwest, where timber is king there is current an all-powerful, all-embracing, all-comforting shibboleth, sustained yield. The author have heard, that natives of these states, passing a logging operation in which giant five-hundred- year-old Douglas firs are crashing to the ground like tenpins. Sustained yield is a term magnificent in its sweeping simplicity. It is the answer, and the only answer, to the dilemma of the fast-vanishing forest. It means that through wise forestry practices a balance could be reached whereby the growth of the forests each year would equal the annual cut. Through sustained yield a wood-hungry America could be assured of a continuous supply of lumber.
