CEDAR WOOD FOR LEAD PENCILS
Now Bought by the Pound, and Grow
ing Scarcer Each Year.

The lead pencil is one of the most com,
mon articles in everyday use, and near.
~ 32OOUO,0U0 pencils are manufactured in
this country every year. To manufacture
these millions OF pencils there are re-
qulred 10000 tons, or 100000 cubic feet
of wood, so that each day in the year 300
tons, or 10000 cubic feet, of wood are used
for pencils. Since practically all of the
wood is red cedar, and since the pencil
industry is steadily growing, the supply
of red cedar is greatly depeted yet no
substitute has been found for it. Leav-
ing out of consideration the imported
pencils, the average educated American
over 10 years Of age uses six pencils of
home manufacture each year. Ten years
ago he used less than five.
Red cedar has soft, straight grain,
and when grown under best conditions is
very, free from defects. Because of its
peculiar qualities no equally good substi-
tute for it has ever been found, and it
is doubtful if any other wood-using in
dustry is so dependent upon single
upon red cedar. In fact, red cedar suit
able for pencil manufacture is the only
wood the price of which is always quot
ed by the pound.
Strange as 1t may seem, no steps have
heretofore been taken to provide for a
future supply of red cedar. This has been
largely due to lack of information on
the rate of growth and the habits of the
tree, and to the widespread belief that
second-growth red cedar never reaches
size.
In accordance with its policy toward
the conservation and economic use of
woods, the forest service has
made a careful study of red cedar and
has come to the conclusion that it can
be grown in regions of its de-
velopment. Several changes are recon-
mended in present forest management in
order to secure the desired growth. In
the southern forests the cedar will have
to be given a better chance instead of
being considered, as now, a negligible
quantity. IN its younger stages, and many
cut for fence posts can profitably be left |
TO attain their full development and thus
become available for pencil wood.
