It extends its activities through all the seasons, to all land ownerships-federal, state, and private, and onto the most rugged forest terrain. It exacts painstaking effort under the most trying of conditions. It requires a close union of the scientist and land manager, and demands close cooperative working relationships. But it is a gratifying task because the resources saved and protected are indispensable to our way of life. Through experience and advanced knowledge, the complex job of forest pest con trol is made safer, more efficient, and less costly. The result accrues as an improvement to our economy, extending protection over our wealth of renewable forest resources plus the less measurable esthetic and recreational values in herent in forest lands.
