C, Thursday, April 28,1955 Number 17 No Lack Of Timber Seen In Future Washington — In the next 50 years America’s wood supply will not be abundant, but neith er will there be the famine that was feared 10 years ago. This is the cautious opinion of officials of the U .S. Forest Ser vice, which is now celebrating its golden anniversary. Back in 1905 the Forst Service was created under the Depart ment of Agriculture to conserve what was feared to be a dwind ling timber supply. Although remarkable progress has been made in maintaining forest re sources, the same knotty prob lem exists today. Forest experts are not unduly to 500 years. From now on we’ve got to grow our own tim ber just as a farmer plants crops.” Programs to protect land from erosion and to develop abundant water Resources through well planned forestation are not yet up to par. At the present Jime over-all tives will be needed in greater quantities.” Within the year the Forest Service will complete a new es timate of the amount of lumber needed to meet the demands of a growing population. A similar study in 1945 dis closed that 72 billion feet of saw timber would be needed in the year 2,000. This caused cons id requierments for wood in the U cOOCCTn since at that tune S. are being met^but much forest ^ t ^ produced only land 13 ", 0t , pr0dUCm * an / wh ^ e 35 billion feet of timber near what it is capable of yield- But ^ of a wood mg. And in the future this un- famine has ^ offset b sev _ concerns cut over five billion board feet of timber from these forests each year. Although this brought $65 million into the U. S. Treasury in 1954, it accounts for only 10 per cent of the coun-j try’s total timber cut. The other 90 per cent comes from private forest lands over which the gov ernment exercises no control. Thus the Forest Service is di recting a broad educational pro gram at more than four million private lumber operators who are responsible for the vast jority of the nation’s wood. ma_ Drunken Diving Couses License Suspension Close to two-thirds of Laurens citizens who had their driver li censes suspended in March lost ahem because of drunken driving, according to a report from the State Highway Department. Of 27 suspended 17 were for the drink ing offense, the report said. grown timber will be needed. These are some of the major i challenges that the Forest Ser vice expects to tackle in the fu ture. “Fifty years ago almost no for- eral trends.

They point out that a great amount of virgin wood has been cut and used. The relatively young stock that has taken its place does not compare in qual ity to the proud trees that were here when the Pilgrims landed.
