Book excerpt: Although forest growth occurs on less than a fifth of the total land area of Texas, it represents one of the State's major natural resources. The commercial forests of Texas are confined to the eastern section of the State and the discussion here will deal primarily with that area. For many years, east Texas forests have provided material for building homes, communities, railroads, churches, and schools; they have given employment to thousands of workers; in addition, they have exerted a beneficial influence in concerving rainfall and in protecting soil from excessive erosion. Today these forests are providing materials essential to the war effort of America and her Allies. Under proper management, the forests of east Texas can provide the raw materials needed for all its present forest industries and also for many additional establishments, to the greater security and prosperity of all the people. Compared with many other sections of the country, east Texas offers advantages for the maintenance of forest industries, as its soil and climate favor rapid tree growth, there are many widely used hardwood and softwood tree species native to this section, markets are at hand, and labor is abundant.
