...slanderous to state that "because of federal limitations on logging operations and poor forest-management techniques, the Government's holdings yield only a quarter as much timber per acre as private timberland" [March 28]. The Forest Service has led the way in forest management. The national forests lend the only stability that exists in the timber industry, and on the poorest sites for timber production. The private timberlands, thanks to the generous land giveaways of the 1800s, are of deep, rich soils in the lowlands, while the national forests embrace the rugged mountain ranges that have thin delicate soils...
...mass of United States society. But why did Gardner decide to abuse the worst of the radicals for the better part of his final speech and cast only an occasional critical sentence at what he called "that complacent lump of self-satisfied Americans who fatten on the yield of this society but never bestir themselves to solve its problems...

In all of his experiments, he has repeatedly been struck by the same suspicion: that intention (the will to do something) precedes skill (the ability...

The Agriculture Department has long complained that Congress allows it too little money to manage better, even though the sale of timber to private lumber producers nets the Treasury substantial revenue. A lack of access roads causes as much sawtimber to be lost to storms and insect infestation...

The network will most likely yield to some of Tom my's complaints, especially since Tommy insists that he would rather quit than fight the censors. "I'm speaking up be cause there's something greater than my feelings involved here. CBS opened the door for us to do this kind of show, and now it looks like they're trying to close it. If they are renewing us, it's not because they want...
