In 1441 printing was discovered. At that time the past was a vast cemetery with hardly an epitaph. The ideas that human brains had generated had mostly perished in the minds that produced them.

It made it possible for the first time for man to bequeath to the future the riches of his brain and the wealth of his soul. When people began to read, they began to reason. And when they began to reason, they began to make n"o*r""".

Why this one living thing possesses so strong a claim on continuous life is something that will always be debated, but probably never explained. Some say it is because of the tremendous amount of water it contains. The sap of the Redwood contains water weighing more than two hundred per cent of the dry weight of the wood, and an average tree holds about seventeen tons of water.

I remember twenty years ago or more, asking the late Henry Hardtner, of Urania, La., "Father of Southern Forestry," if commercial growing of Southern Yellow Pine timber could be done economically, and he said that such tree growing WAS economically sound for the mill man, utterly destroyed.
