SOUTHERN TIM sER.
Great Value and variety OF tho Fore.

Great Value and Variety of tho Forests.
All the world, with the exception of
Asia, comes to the Southern states for
timber. The single port of Brunswick,
Georgia, exported lumber or timber in
some form last year to twenty-five DIFF
ferent countries. Forest products, not
including turpentne and resin, We're
shipped from the Southern ports last
year to the value of about S25,0O0,0OO.
During the same period the domestic
consumption was probably five or six
times as great, carrying the total val
uc of the Southern forests up to about
Sl50000,O00, The South. the grcnt lake
states and the Northern states now cut
equal quantities of timber--about t.
0OOOOO,OOO feet each year. Chief
among the trees of the South is the
pine, of which there are four import
ant varieties. Roughly speaking, the
pines cover half the territory between
the Potomac and the Brazos river in
Texas, or about 10000 square miles,
and will cut 250,OO0,O00,00 feet of
merchantable lumber. The annual
consumption averages about 1000, ,O00,-
600, and at this rate the South can
supply the world for thirty-live years
Another of the most valuable woods
In the South is the cypress beautiful
in color and grain, durable, easily
worked and adapted to almost every
use for which n building wood is need
ed. The annual production of cypress,
including shingles, approNimatcs 6OO,-
GOO,OOO feet, and 1t is estimated that
there are 10000, 100000 feet of cypress
on the stump. The hard woods of the
South embrace nearly all the varieties
to be found in the United States, and
cover 15,O00,OOo acres. Among the more
important commercial hardwoods are
the different kinds of oak ash. hick-
ory, poplar, cottonwood, chestnut,
gum. magnolia, cedar. bay, walnut,
buttcrnnt, pecan and sycamore, and 1t
is estimated that the South has 300,-
OOO,oO0,O0O feet of such wood standing.

The Whole Population Sometimes Runs
