Without possessing correct scientific data on these questions, we cannot work out a proper plan for the utilisation of our forests, or the constant renewal of our forest wealth. It has been tentatively estimated that the total resources of the forests of the U.S.S.R. are equal to 18 billion tons of fuel, while the average annual increment has been estimated at 315 million tons, of which about 62 million tons of fuel were allocated to the European part of our Union.
