LUMBER IN PACKING BOXES
Present WASTE and Realize
on II.

In considering the various drafts made
upon Our forests for lumber, few people
think of the vast amount consumed in the
manufacture OF packing boxes. Yet 1t is
probable that this nearly or quite equals,
if 1t does not exceed, the amount used in
the erection of buildings. In New England
alone the lumber so used in 1906, accord
ing to bulletin just issued by the forest
service, amounted TO 60O. $4,000 board feet;
enough to make a board walk foot wide
four and a half times around the globe
Add to this the consumption of the rest
of the union for packing boxes, and the
immensely of the drain on our forest re-
sources may be imagined. And the pre-
dicament in which manufacturers and pro-
ducers 10 whom boxes are a necessity are
likely to find themselves as the lumber
supply grows shorter and shorter is a seri-
Gus one not only to them, but to the coun-
try at large.
In view of this growing scarcity one
would imagine that the business sense and
inventive genius OF our people would more
concern themselves in prolonging the life
OF the packing box and In utilizing the
valuable material therein for some other
purpose than hndling wood. The stove or
furnace is still the destination of the ma
jority of packing boxes. Yet little plan
ming and cooperation might keep large
proportion OF them, or Of the material in
them, in use for many years.
folding packing box presumably similar
to the boxes used for delivering groceries
has been invented. which can be reduced
to a trifiing bulk and returned to the ship
pers for repeated use-provided enough OF
them could be got together for economical
transportation-but 1t seems to have found
but little acceptance. But with the price
OF lumber at present figures, the saving
which could be effected by a systematic
gathering up, asserting. knocking down"
and reco astruction of boxes would APP
parently be very large The value OF the
lumber used I'm box making In New Eng
land alone IN 1875 was $7,7Si, 500 II some
body would organize a BOX trust II
would seem as though 80 per cent OF that
lumber might by systematic methods be
used a dozen times over.-St. Paul Pioneer
