Atlanta, Feb. 6. — The Office of Price administration issued an appeal today for high grade yellow poplar timber, asserting that the v top price has been increased by five times to , encourage its cutting, Some time ago, the price range on poplar was $90 to $100 per 1,000 feet. Today the price is $90 to $467.50 per thousand feet. Yellow poplar grows throughout the Atlantic coastal and gulf regions of the southeast, the OPA said, and is critically needed in war produc tion.
