Excerpt from Agricultural Bulletin, Straits and Federated Malay States, 1902, Vol. 1When one looks over any large tract of country in the Malay Peninsula, especially from a height, and sees an apparently endless vista of forest, it is natural to suppose that the supply of wood suitable for all purposes is quite inexhaustible, but a more careful investigation into the contents Of the forests themselves and an inspection of the timber in the yards of the sawmills. Shows very clearly that the supply of first class timber for house and boat building, bridges and such purposes is not only not inexhaustible but is rapidly diminishing.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
