The Drain
Upon the Forests

Since 1880 the sources OF lumber
supply have undergone remarkable
changes. The first change was
in the reg ions from which the prin-
cipal kinds of lumber were pro-
cured, and this was followed BY
the substitution of other kinds of
wood in their places. Neither the
centcrs OF the lumber industry nor
the leading classes Of woods are
the same as they were twenty Live
years ago. In 1880 nine States
Micnigan, Pennsylvania, Wiscon-
sin, New York, Texas, Arkansas,
Mississippi, Louisiana and Wash
ington--produced 52.S per cent o.
more than half of the total lumber
production of the United States.
In 1906 these States produced
SIS per cent, practically the same
proportion, but the changes which
have taken place in the output O.
individual states are very striking
Michigan, for instance, cut q
per cent of the total in 1880 ant
but Is. b per cent III iSVO, A"u'S
lana cut o. per cent of the tota
in 1880 and is per cent in 1906
Washington furnished but 0.9 pc
cent of the lumber production o
1880 and lis per cent of that o
1906. The cutting out of tie vir
gin timber in North and East ha
been followed by increasing drain
upon the forest resources OF tn
South and West.
Despite these conditions tn
amount of timber required has IN
creased year by year. The incrcas
in consumption of timber sine
1880 has been more rapid than tn
increase of the population am
greater than in any similar pcrio
in the history of the country. Ihi
shows in a striking manner hov
much the nation depends upon for
est products, and indicated no,
greatly all interests must suffe
as lumber becomes scarcer an
dcarcr.
Statisticrs gathered by the bu
rcau of thu Census and the Fores
Service show that the Quantities {
timber used last year for lumte1
shingles, ties, pulpwood, cooper
, age stock, mine timbers, iatL,, di'
till ,tion, veneer, poles and turpel
