Description: A USDA film. In this color film an old lumberjack carries you back to the "hell roaring nineties," and takes you through the cutting of the virgin forests in New England, the Lake States, the South, and finally winds up in the Pacific Northwest. The results of the clear-cutting practices on labor, the need for a nation-wide forest program to stop destruction of the resource, and the introduction of new industries to furnish more permanent jobs, better and more permanent communities are shown.
