tries. Austria-Hungary furnishes 10
according to estimates for the whole
world compiled by DR.. Ernest Fried
rich of the German commercial high
school at Leipzig.
Notwithstanding the fact that it
finds its own supply dwindling the
United States furnishes 20 per cent
of the lumber imported by other coun-
tries. Austria-Hungary furnishes 10
per cent, Russia 16 per cent, Canada
Is, Sweden 10, Finland 10 and Nor
way and Roumania a small quantity
The countries importing wood are
those on the highest economical
plane, which were themselves in
earlier times densely wooded, but
whose forests have been denuded to
a greater or less extent to make room
for agriculture and other industries
says Vice-Consul James L. A. Bur-
rel of Madgeburg, in a report to
this government. Only per cent of
the territory of Great Britain is COW
cred with forests, and during the year
1906 that country imported lumber
to the value of $135,561,7 Germany
has still 26 per cent of it's territory
covered by forests, but imported in
1906 lumber valued at $61, 1885, 900.
Belgium and the Netherlands, that
have but per cent forest lands, Den
mark, that has per cent, France and
Switzerland, with small percentage,
are all compelled to import lumber.
Besides these countries. those lands
lying on the dry western side of the
silb-tropical zone lacking forests are
forced to import wood. Egypt imports
wood and coal to the value of $16,660,-
600 annually, Algeria, Tunis, Spain,
Portugal, with only per cent for
est land), Italy, Greece with 9 per
cent forest land), the eastern part of
Asia, British South Africa, the west
ern part of Chile and Peru, the Ar
gentine republic and Australia, all
poor in wood, are dependent upon
other nations.
