Excerpt from The Caribbean Forester, Vol. 1: Oct. 1939 The prevention of destructive exploitation of the forests in privately owned land still awaits solution, but the close cooperation of the technical departments makes possible comparatively rapid progress in carrying out the policy for Crown lands. This policy aims at the fullest utilization of the land, based on careful estimation of the soil and the forests; the encourage ment of permanent cultivation on the truly agricultural soils; the improve ment of yield in the best forest areas; and the safeguarding of the land from erosion and the climate from deteriorating.

Excerpt from The Caribbean Forester, 1952, Vol. 13 The Station participated in international forestry development by training foreign students, contacts with tropical foresters both here and in their own countries, and by dissemination of forestry information Of international significance. The Station trained six foreign students during the year, from Malaya, Costa Rica, Thailand, Honduras, Java, and Ecuador. The period of training of these students ranged from a few days to three months. They were shown or participated in forest administration, research, and extension. In addition the Station received visits from for esters or technicians in allied fields from Brazil, the British Virgin Islands, Haiti, Sweden, France, Paraguay, and Surinam.

Excerpt from The Caribbean Forester, Vol. 14: January-April 1953 The year 1952 was marked by a more wide-spread application of the findings of research than ever before. For the first time in about 10 years large scale planting on the public forests was recommended. Prior to that period, about acres of public forest lands were planted, but large scale planting was then discontinued because of numerous failures and high costs. This period has been marked by observation of past plantings and cautious testing of new species, techniques, and sites. Even now only a very limited number of practices can be recommended safely. A result of these recommendations this year has been the underplanting with West Indian mahogany of more than acres of dry forest on the south coast and the underplanting of broadleaf mahogany on 450 acres of secondary rain forest. An additional several thousand acres of similar sites are to be underplanted as soon as funds permit. Another significant development has been the demand which has appeared for eucalyptus for underground piling. The first 30 feet of 12 trees (14 years old) is worth on the stump. This development and other prospects for use of this tree for its cellulose have removed the last reason to hesitate in large scale planting of eucalyptus at elevations between and feet. Areas of natural secondary forest among existing plantations are to be converted to eucalyptus. The planting of eucalyptus by the taungya system is to be throughly' investigated during the coming year. If successful it may lead to consider ably increased interest in tree planting on private lands. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
