I\n\nWHAT THE FORESTS DID FOR MICHIGAN  \nOne hundred years ago when the real settlement of Michigan wasjust beginning,the two beantiful peninsulas which form the statewere covered with forestsWoods held po8Bession of 35,000,000 acresof a total land area of 36,777,200 acres.  \nThe forests of Michigan were of three general types—pine or soft-wood forests,hardwood forests,and swamp forests.The type of theforest depended largely upon the character of the soil on which itgrew.  \nThe pines were the lordly White Pine,the stately Norway or RedPine,and the inferior Jack Pine.These grew upon the light,sandysoils—soils so porous they would not retain moisture for any greatlength of time.The White Pine waxed great upon the better lightsoils;the Red Pine throve upon the medium light soils;while thehardy Jack Pine spread over the poorest lands where no other treescould find sustenance.  \nThe hardwoods were principally Oak,Hickory,Beech,Maple,Ash,Elm,associated at times with Hemlock,a softwood.Where the hard-woods stood were usually found better soils—soils that eould be usedin the growing of farm crops and the developing of fruitful orchards.  \nThe swamp timber included Spruce,Cedar,Balsam,Larch,and thelike.  \nThe hardwood forests covered the lower part of the state—the presentout-standing agricultural and industrial sections—with patches of Pinescattered here and there among them.  \nThe Kingdom of the Pine was all the northern part of the lowerpeninsula from the Grand Haven-Saginaw line to the Straits of Mack-inac.It also spread acrOss the Straits and took in much of the easternhalf of the upper peninsula.  \nThere were hardwood forests,too,in this Kingdom of the Pine—broad belts of them and large blocks of them wherever there were richenough soil and suflicient moisture to sustain them.Hardwoods werealso massed in the iron and copper regions of the Upper Peninsulaand along the Lake Superior coast.  \nThe swamp forests were mixed in everywhere with the Pine and thehardwoods.They occupied particularly large areas of the Upper Pen-insula.  \nThese Michigan forests served mankind in different ways at differentperiods of history.  \nThe Indians and the French traders drew food and profit from thewild life and the furs produced by it.  \nThe early American settlers coming into Michigan after the Revolu-tionary War,looked upon the vast woods as both friend and foe一friend because the forest supplied building material,fnel,food in theform of game,nuts,and berries","cbCaivsDRe0tEtcb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivsDRe0tEtcb","pdf",569992,11,"English","# Chapter I\n## What the Forests Did for Michigan","[{\"question\":\"Who prepared “Michigan’s Own
