What reading level is The Influence of Our Northern Forests On the Mississippi River book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Doubtless tillage tends to counteract the bad effects of cutting forests. The plow, the cultivator, and the shade serve to keep the soil mellow, and the rains would sink deep into the earth. In the com- parison of crops with woods, evaporation would be greater, and transpiration less; for even the most luxuriant maize would not break the force of hot winds as effectively as trees would, while the extent of the cereal leafage would k be far less than that of the sylvan foliage. If it is true tha...t, since the co- lonial times, there has been no material decrease in the rainfall of New England, the fact is unquestion- ably attributable to a cultivation which is nearly coextensive with the cleared lands. But this condi- tion of general tillage does not prevail in the remote northwest. In that almost uninhabited region, there is scarcely one cultivated acre to the square mile. Consequently the plowed clearings are too limited perceptibly to counteract the injurious ef- fects of felling the forests.
