Excerpt from Woody-Plant Seed Manual: Miscellaneous Publication No. 654, Issued June 1948 Rom 1929 to 1939 revegetation of cut-over and burned lands and eroded soils for timber production, watershed protection, wildlife food and cover, and shelterbelt planting was undertaken on a scale never before approached in the United States. In 1929, for example, about acres were reforested. In 1939 about acres were planted, and the total acreage planted at the close of that year was about acres. Planting at the 1939 rate requires annually about 145 tons of forest seed, valued at about With more than acres in need of planting, assuming that the job can be done in the course of 25 years, this would call for the annual planting of some acres and require the use of about 600 tons of seed per year. Whereas reforestation was drastically curtailed during World War II, forest planting of large areas doubtless will figure prominently as a postwar measure.
