PULPWOOD PRODUCTION AND USE
IN SOUTHERN FOREST SURVEY TERRITORY, 1946

By William S. Stover
Southern Forest Experiment Station

The great expansion of the wood pulp and paper industry in the
South is one of the major developments in the United States forest
scene in recent years. Since 1936, when the current expansion started,
wood-pulping capacity in the 12 southern States from Virginia to Texas
has nearly quadrupled--the result of new mill construction and expan-
sion of existing mills. About half of United States wood-pulping ca~
pacity is now in the South, The annual value of the finished products
of the industry in the South is three-quarters of a billion dollars.

In Southern Forest Survey territory--the States of Alabama,
Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas——
pulping capacity has almost tripled since 1936. The expansion still
continues, with an active search for new mill locations.

Pulp Mills and’Their Capacity

In 1946, 24 wood-pulp mill units in Southern Forest Survey ter-
ritory and & outside units were drawing wood from the territory. Ad-
ditional units are under construction at Childersburg, Alabama, at
Natchez, Mississippi, in the territory; and at Pensacola, Florida, just
outside (figure a (A unit consists of all mills operated by one com
pany at one location.)

Pulping capacity of the 26 mill units operating or under con-
struction in the territory will total 8,396 tons daily, of which 68
percent will be sulfate capacity, 26 percent ground wood or other me-
chanical, 4 percent semichemical, and 2 percent soda (table 1, p. 6).
In the entire South, capacity of the 50 operating mills and the 6 under
construction will total more than 19,000 tons daily. Of this, 79 per-
cent will be sulfate capacity, 13 percent ground wood or other mechani-
cal, and 8 percent semichemical, soda, and sulfite.

county data are only approximate, but totals for groups of counties
should have little error.

Pulpwood data for earlier years are from estimates by the Divi-
sion of State and Private Forestry, Southern Region, U. S, Forest Serv~
ice, and by the Southern Forest Experiment Station.

Data on pulp mill capacity are for the most part from Lockwood's
Directory of the Paper and Allied Trades. ‘

Pulpwood Production

Pulpwood production in 1946 in Southern Forest Survey territory
totaled 4,123,549 standard cords (including bark), of which 88 percent
was pine and.12 percent hardwood, Production in 1936 was 1,566,000
cords, and since has risen rather steadil: (figure 3). The largest
increase occurred in Mississippi (table 3). Pine and hardwood pulp-
wood production by county in 1946 is shown in tables 4 through 10.

The heaviest concentration of pulpwood output in the territory
in 1946 was in southwestern Alabama. Other areas of concentration were
central and southern Mississippi and northwest Louisiana (figure 4).
In relation to the quantity of standing pine timber, the heaviest pro-
duction of pine pulpwood was in central and southern Mississippi and
northwest Louisiana. Here more than 20 cords were produced per 1,000
cords of standing timber: roughly four-tenths of the annual net growth
was taken for pulpwood alone (figure 5).

In broad figures, the pulpwood produced in Southern Forest Sur-
vey territory in 1946 had a value of about $54,000,000, delivered at
the mill. Roughly, $8,000,000 of this went to timberland owners for
their stumpage, $10,000,000 went to meet transportation costs, and
$36,000,000 was for direct production costs, including labor.

Sulfate pulp, unbleached, is used largely for manufacture of
bags, wrapping paper, and container board, and also for cartons and
specialties. Bleached sulfate pulp goes to these uses and also into
coated papers and cleansing tissues. Ground-wood and other mechani-
cal pulps are used largely in insulating boards and building papers;
but: ground-wood pulp made at Lufkin, Texas, is manufactured’ into
newsprint, and the mill under construction at Childersburg will also
make newsprint. Semichemical pulp is used largely for corrugating .
paper, Soda. pulp is used principally for book, tablet, and coated
papers, but goes also into container board and specialties.

Figure 2,--Pulp-mill capacity in the South, 1892-1948.

In the entire South, 82 percent of the expansion since 1936.
has been in sulfate capacity, 15 percent in ground wood and other me-
chanical, and 3 percent in semichemical, soda; and sulfite (figure 2).
In Southern Forest Survey territory, the proportions are 65, 32, and
3 percent, respectively. (See table 2 for the basic mill-capacity
data.

Most of the expansion in the South has pointed toward the use
of pine pulpwood. Much of the current interest in further expansion
also appears to involve principally the use of pine. | There exists,
however, a considerable interest in the pulping of hardwoods, which
make up approximately half of the region's total standing-timber
volume. But, as yet, use of hardwood is not on a scale commensurate
with its potentiality.

Individual mill-drawing territories varied considerably, accord-
ing to the timber supply and ownership, competition with other users
for raw material, transportation facilities, and wood-procurement poli-
cies. The bulk of the wood moved by common-carrier railroad and truck;
but there was some barge movement along the Gulf Coast and on the Mis-
sissippi, Tombigbee, and Warrior Rivers.

Source of Data

Data on 1946 pulpwood production in this release are based on
reports from 30 of the 32 units drawing wood from Southern Forest Sur-
vey territory, on estimates for two units, and on State severance-tax
data from Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi. County data are based

Pulpwood Movement,

Slightly more pulpwood was produced in Southern Forest Survey
territory in 1946 than was used by mills in the territory, there being
a net balance of pulpwood shipments out of the territory (table 11).
The greater part of the wood was produced within an airline radius of
150 miles of the mills to which it was delivered. Analysis of pulp-
wood movement to the 10 mill units for which data are available shows
the following:

Distance from mill Cumulative percent of wood obtained

(miles) Average + Range
50 Ay 1l6é~- 71
100 73 33 - 97
150 92 85 - 100
200 99 96 - 100
500 100 100
