THE TIMBER SUPPLY OF THE UN~ITED STATES. t ---- - t "We are now cutting timber from e the forests of the United States at L the rate of 500 feet board measure a -year for every man, woman and , child. In Europe they *use only 60 t board feet.'' Few statements could be made t which could 'better convince the aver- t age man that this country leads thet - world in the demand for timber. It e is made by Treadwell Cleveland, Jr., t in a circular which treats of the con-t servation of the forests, soil, water, I. and all the other greait natural re-( f sources, which has just been pub e lished by the United States Forest E - Service. In speaking further of the . consumption of timber in this coun -try, Mr. Cleveland says: , "At .this rate, in less than thirty 3 - years all our remaining virgin tim -jber will be cut. Meantime, the for 'ests which have been eut over are o generally in a bad way for want of . care: they will produce only infer - ior second growth. We are clearly 1 d over the verge of a timber famine. S"This is not due to necessity. for .e the forest-s are one of the renewable ;- resources. Rightly used, they go on .e roducing crop -after crop indefinite ly. The countries of Europe know r- this, and Japan knows it; and their forests are becoming with time not s less, but more, productive. We pro te bably still possess sufficient forest 1- land to grow wood enough at home e to supply our own needs. If we are e not blind, or willfully wasteful, we d may not preser;e our forest independ e ence and, with it, the fourth of our - great industries. 1. ''Present wastes in lumber produe - tion are enormous. Take the case of ['. yellow pine, which now heads the t- list in the volume of annual cut. In f 1907 it is estimated that only on 9 - half' of all the yellow pine eut during; '. the season was used, and that the other half, amounting to 8.000,000 1 e cnrds, was wasted. Such waste is< typical. Mr. R. A. Long. in his ad-i ie dress on 'Forest Conservation' at the1 : conference of governors last spring,1 in pointed out that 20 per cent of the yellow pine was simply left in the ai- woods-a waste which represents the ar timber growing on 300,000 acres. o "The rest of the waste takes place in at the mill. Of course. it would never do to speak of the material re.jected r- at the mill as waste unless tis ma 1 terial could he turned to use hy some1 better and more t horough form ot ultilization. But in many eases we know, and in many other cases we hka excellent reon to enlieve, that li'-i I<'l Lf i2elligelt illvest iation~ )!d. lloi-e than all. of Iilin- the wilT 'iBut there are other ways to con tr1e te frests be:1Side cutting in :dr thle presn t va. it If filrst pro m-ts Th f- :1-- h." !!,141 to . l tile virgil1l i oe1t1s al1d tile eut Ver lands.
