California Sugar Pine.

Few users Of wood know that on the
Pacific coast there is vast quantity of
lumber comparable I'm all essential quail
ties with the best grades OF white pine
ever produced in the East. This is fur
nished by the sugar pine, a tree COM
monty found along the western slopes OF
the Sierra Nevada mountains in Califor-
MIA. Even when compared with the giant
big trees with which II often is found.
the sugar pine is not a puny tree, but
frequently reaches n diameter Of 10 feet
and a height of $50 feet. A single tree
has been known to yield 81. 900 board feet
of lumber, and trees smaller than IS
inches are seldom cut at present. These
facts make 1t evident that sugar pine
lumber. in respect to the sizes furnished
Is far beyond the eastern white pine
even the pumpkin pine OF early days.
The wood is scarcely distinguishable
from white pine. 1t Is practically of the
same weight and the same color. 1t is
somewhat more resnous, however, and
perhaps a little brasher 1t is soft,
STRAIGHTFORWARD. and easily worked. 1t
Is used for everything for which white
pine is available. and is especially valu-
able for pattern work. The wood Is al
ready finding its way into the Eastern
markets. and, while it is not at all likely
that anything but the best grades can be
shipped long distances, there is no doubt
that sugar pine lumber will more and
more replace its Eastern relative. There
is no difficulty whatever i'm furnishing
plank up to four feet in width and abso-
lutely free from any defect at a price that
is low for material of that quality
The cut OF sugar pine lumber in Cali
fornia has increased from So. 600, 900 board
feet in 1900 to 100, 900, 900 feet in 1904, and
1t is estimated that there are q, 900 600, 900
feet OF it still standing.
Sugar pine does not form extensive
forests by itself, as the white pine of the
East once did, but grows with western
yellow pine, white fir incense cedar, and
the big trees" In northern California
It is found at attitudes between 1000 and
5000 feet above the sea, and in southern
California at attitudes between 5000 and
10000 feet.
The tree produces a large quantity OF
seeds, in cones that often are 20 inches
long. The seeds are large and edible
and consequently are sought by squirrels
and other animals. The Indians also
gather them to eat. On this account and
because the seedlings are easily killed
during the first five years by lack of
moisture or proper shade, the sugar pine
does not reproduce itself readily; but the
lumber is so valuable that there is every
reason why an effort should be made to
replace the trees that are cut down by
others OF the same kind.
