Abstract
AT the outset, farm woodlands are defined as areas of wooded growth that are integral parts of the lands used primarily for agriculture. As such they serve various useful purposes in affording protection to buildings and stock, in preventing undue soil erosion and, if skilfully managed, in providing profitable timber of various types. The problems of agriculture and forestry are inseparable in regions where the better soils are utilized for crop-growing and pastures, and woodland occupies the area of poorer quality. Detailed tables show how widespread these woodland areas are in the United States, the total value of the produce used and sold therefrom amounting to 190 million dollars pef annum.
