DRAIN UPON THE FORESTS

Statistics gathered by the bureau
Of the census and the forest service
show that the quantities of timber
used last year for lumber, shingles,
ties. pulpwood, cooperage stock,
mime timbers, lath, distillation, ve-
neer. poles, tanning and turpentine
and Fosin, expressed in board feet,
reached total OF approximately so
Billion board feet.
While these drains upon the for
est are known with reasonable GER
1Rinty, there are others of which
there is no record. These are the
demand for posts, fue' and domestic
purposes, regarding which 1t is more
dinicult to obtain information. be-
cause the products often I pass
through no market. but are consum-
ed ON thea farm where they were
produced. Caseful estimates. how
ever. place tho total of wood used
fur fuel alone at an equivalent OF
30 billion board feet year.
II VIII be seen, then. that the
present consumption of wood in all
forms lis above 100 billion board
feet annually, Estimating the for
eft area or the United States at from
500 60 700 million acres, and the
annual growth at so board feet per
acre, the yearly Increase is from 80
10 ~ bfiiibn feet. At this rate the
annnnl growth barely u equals the
amount consumed for lumber alone,
Considering all the. drains, the; an
nuaI consumption of wood is proba-
bly, thresa times the annual growth
Detailed estimates of standing tim
Der range from 400 to 1000 billion
feet Using the larger figure. and
considering the annual growth of A
billion feet, 1t appears that there Il
not more than 33 years supply O.
timber in this country at the pres
ent rate OF consumption.
AT present only about 22 per cen
nj our total forest are is in state o.
national forests, the remainder be
ing unreserved public lands or II
private hands. The forest area !
amply SUFFICIENT, If rightly managed
10 produce eventually enough timbe
to supply all our needs. Yet privat
owners, as well as the state and ma
tional governments, must use thei
forest lands in a right way IL we ar
TO maintain our timber supply.
