Nor had it inaugurated any extended forest-experiment, such as was imperatively needed both for the edu- cation of competent foresters, and for the study of American condi- tions. The legislatures of sundry States had shown a vague conviction of the importance of the problem on its economic as well as its aesthetic side But beyond such feeble remedies as "arbor-days" and premiums for tree planting, and laws for the prevention of forest-fires, no State had as yet supplied the pressing double nee...d of a College of Forestry and a tract for forest investigations and experiments on a working scale. Meanwhile, the pressure of a swiftly-approaching economic disaster was felt by those States which supplied forest materials ; those which were con-uming, as well as exporting their own ; and those which were supporting their building and manufacturing industries chiefly by importation.
