FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
OF THE LUMBER INDUSTRY.

New Orleans, La, November 9.-The
Washington correspondent of the New
Orleans Picayune writes as follows:
The future development of the lum-
Der industry in this country lies in
the direction Of closer utilization
of forest products. Both foresters
land practical lumbermen now agree on
this point.
Just what can be done in this field
is we'll illustrated in the operations at
the mill of the Great Southern Lum-
Der Company, which has just reopened
its plant at Bogalusa, La, in response
to the increased demand for lumber
after the recent slump in business.
This is perhaps the largest saw mill
in the United States, If not in the
world, and is capable of turning out
the enormous amount of 100000 feet
of sawn lumber, board measure, per
day. A reader can get fair idea Of
tllio 4udhllly VI WDCu lie IS
told that its output is enough to build
little town Of forty houses, along
with good-sized church and school
house every day.
This company was quick to grasp
the significance of the rapid depletion
of timber resources. Last year 1t be-
gun a cooperative investigation in
wood utilization with the United
States forest service. and arrange
renewal of the experiments. The
work will be along practical lines, and
will be aimed to secure closer uttli-
cation of the products of the Southern
lumber mills and at the same time
produce margin of profit in excess
of that obtained by the methods which
are now practiced
The field for work along this line
is broad. 1t is well known that the
superior grades of lumber are OBJ
tanned from old mature tree
vided they are not weakened by de-
cay or other influences. In other
words, thousand feet board meas
ure of lumber, sawed from tree two
feet in diameter costs less, and is
worth more than a thousand feet
sawed from tree only eight inches
in diameter. Moreover, timber cut
from young trees usually contains a
large amount of sapwood. If ties,
poles, etc, are cut from such material
they will decay far more rapidly than
If cut from hardwood. 1t is not good
business policy, however, in a great
many cases to saw the most valuable
timber into commodities which are
relatively low in cost, such as ties
and poles. 1t is the intention, there
fore; Of the company to find out Just
what size and classes OF. timber can
be best utilized for the cheaper COM
modities when given preservative
treatment.
To this end a careful study will be
made to ascertain the amount and
value of the products sawed from trees
Of different sizes and just how each
can be best utilized so as to secure
greatest economy and profit. For ex.
ample, can tree eight inches in diam
eter be best utilized for ties or for
flooring, and how will the profits COM
pare If treated With those sold I'M
treated? 1t seems reasonable to sup
pose that the profits derived from the
sale Of treated timber will exceed
those from untreated timber.
Moreover, the greater use of chem
ically preserved wood win unsoubted-

Hearst is to start a newspaper in
Atlanta, Ca, with John Temple Graves
as editor. AS the candidate of the In
dependence party for vice president,
Mr.. Graves received 65 votes in Geo.
gia which has caused some of the par
agraphers to poke fun at the proposed
venture. 1t should be remembered
however, that Mr.. Graves was the
candidate of party which had no
prospect of success, and that most
Georgians are Democrats. Had he
been the nominee of the Democratic
party, it is safe to assert that he
would have polled the full strength
of the ticket.
