This was the first and most logical step toward taking an inventory of our for- est resources. Another early attempt to assist in forest conser- CREATION AND ORGANIZATION 9 vation was an attempt to reforest the treeless plains of our Western States. On March 3, 1873, the Timber Culture Act was passed by Congress by which the planting... to timber of 40 acres of land in the treeless territories conferred the title to 160 acres of public domain. At first this act seemed to work out as intended but it did not take very many years before it proved a dismal failure. Set- tlers had no knowledge of planting trees; the re- strictions of the act could not be enforced, and the act was open to other abuses. The act was finally repealed in 1891. Many similar laws for encour- aging the planting of timber were passed by the legislatures of some of the Middle Western States, but all met with little success.
