PAPER FAMINE IS IMMINENT
IF WOODLANDS ARE WASTED
-1
In less than 20 years 95 per cent
of thfe pulp and paper mills of the
country, mainly those in the East,
will have practically exhausted their
supplies of spruce, hemlock, and fir?
the principal woods from which the
paper on which newspapers are printer!
is made.
The annual cutting of these woods
in the New England States and New
York is approximately 3,262,000
cords, and at this rate the supply will
last approximately 17 years. The estimated
annual cutting in the Lake
States is 3,030,000 boras, and if continued
will exhaust the supply in that
region within 18 yaars. Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Virginia, and North
Carolina, with their smaller forest resources,
are even worse off, che annual
cutting being calculated at 1,470,>
000 cords, at which rate the spruce,
hemlock, and fir will last but 10
years. Only in Alaska, Washington,
Oregon, and California are the reserves
in no immediate danger of
exKaustion, if the cutting continues
at the present rate of 2,213,000
cords a year.
1 These figures, of special interest
because of the present paper shortage,
are included in estimates com/
< piled by the Forest Service of the
United States Department of Agriculture.
The data accumulated give additional
emphasis to the demand for
, -a nation-wide policy that will put
privately owned forests on a permanently
productive basis and will also
. result in utilizing mill waste for paper
making.
_ Mill's Location a Factor.
Even if the country's hemlock,
spruce, and fir resources, including
the vast forests of far-off Aaska, are,
lumped together, the'shpply of these
woods will be sufficient to meet the
lumber and paper demands for less
';j than three-fourths of a century, assuming
that the present rate of cut
ting continues. At first glance it
might seem that a national supply for,
three-fourths of a century makes it
* I
unnecessary to worry over the lum-.
ber question for some time.- But, as;
already stated, 95 per cent of the!
pulp and paper mills are located in!
the east; these are very expensive es-j
tablishments, often c ting millions j
of dollars, and can not be moved conveniently
to new locations, nor can
wnnH hp shitmed to them econom:-j
cally from great distances. Cons'2-j
quently talk of easily utilizing tliej
. far-off reserves is impracticable unless
the present mills are to be scrapped
and new ones built nearer the
source of supply.
NORTHERN KOREA IS
EVACUATED BY JAPS,
SAYS WIRELESS REPORT
' v /
?????
London, Feb. 10.?Northern Korea
has been evacuated by the Japanese,
it is claimed in a wireless dispatch
from Moscow today quoting a!.
Omsk message. The population rose[
,tc aid Korean forces from Chinese j
territory, it is declared.
The. Omsk message, as given in^
the bolshevik wireless, says that oni
FoVi-rnnrv fi. hands of Koreans raised!I
in Chinese territory, crossed the i
frontier and attack^ ^the Japanese. |
Masses of the population are joining,
the insurgents, it is added, the Jap-,
an^se retreating and evacuating
northern Korea.
300 Japanese Killed by Force of i
Koreans.
Washington, Feb. 9.?Official dispatches
received here foday said aj
force of 2,000^Koreans, armed principally
with equipment furnished by j
the Bolsheviki, crossed into northern1
Korea from Kirinl Manchuria, and attacked
a Japanese post of 700 men at
.light, killed 800 of them and routed'
the remainder.
According to these dispatches, the
attack was the initiation of an active
rebellion in Korea. It was de jribed
as "the beginning of a tremendous
affair."
NO INTERVENTION
FROM WILSON IN
MEXICO LIKELY
i *
Washington, Feb. 6.?The familiar
old "Mexican crisis" is a thing
of the past, as far as this administration
is concerned.
Kidnapping of Joseph Askew by
Mexican bandits will not .be permitted
to'develop into anything approaching
a "crisis", it was learned j
authoritatively today. Carranza has
been asked to rescue Askew and
there may be an exchange of notes,
, I
but the spector of trouble will be I
kept in the background."
The administration evidently hasj ,
! *
determined to hand the Mexican
i ILUI
problem over to the next president jy
and its policy is to refuse to jret !th<
cited over Carranza's antics, unless'an
there is some really serious break !g0
comparable, for example, to Villa's !gaj
raid in 19 J. 6. !:n
v.
Meanwhile, however, the govern- na
merit is watching events in Mexico of
with the greatest interest. The Me::;- eir
can presidential elections in July, it th<
is believed here, may result in vic jgri
tory for a candidate who will bc!tu;
friendly to the United States, in-lpri
stead of covertly hostile like Carran-;
za. In that event the Mexican prob-!co;
lem probably will cease to exist be-! mj
fore President Wilson leaves the'ip^
White House. 'thi
Revolutionary developments below' th<
the border are also being watched
with keen attention. It would not;ve
surprise some officials! here if Car-I0^
ranza were overthrown before elec-|
tion day by General Alvaro Obre-'na
gon. Carranza is anxious to post- cri
none indefinitely the election on the j
ground that "uncertain state" ex-jge
ists in the country. Should he do so, be

"Better Sires- Better Stock." j I
Clemsoa College, Feb. 5.?The
jnty boll weevil conferences, held ne<
ring^an. in every county which ne<
; weevil has reached, have given
added impetus to livestock in 31
uth Carolina, since in seeking a ^
:e farming program to recommend ^
each county the conferences ^
turally recommended the growing
more and better livestock. Special ?
iphasis was placed upon hogs an:l
2 family dairy cow, and upon the
owing of sufficient feeds and pas- j
re crops to make livestock really,
ofitable.
In practically every county the.
nferences recommended the eli- j
nation of scrub sires in livestock.
