of 1880 and lis per cent of that in
1906. The cutting out Of the virgin
timber in the North and East has
been followed by increased drains up
on the forest resources of the South
and West.
Despite these conditions the
amount Of timber required has in
creased year by year. The increase
in consumption Of timber since 1880
has been more rapid than the in
crease Of the population, and greater
than in any similar period in the
history of the country. This shows
In a striking manner how much the
nation depends upon the forest pro-
ducts, and indicates how greatly all
interests must suffer as lumber be-
comes scarcer and dearer.
Statistics gathered By the Bureau
of the Census and the Forest Ser
vice show that the quantities of tim
Der used last year for lumber,
shingles, ties, pulpwood, eooperage
stock, mine timbers, lath, distilla-
ton, veneer, poles, tanning, and tur-
pentine and rosin, expressed in board
feet, reach a total approximately so
billion board feet
While these drains upon the forest
are known with reasonable certainty,
there are others of which there is
no record. These are the demands
for posts, fuel and domestic purposes,
regarding which it is more difficult
to obtain information, because the
products often pass through no mar
ket, but are consumed on the farm
where they were produced. Careful
estimates, however, place the total
of wood used for fuel alone at an
equivalent of so billion board feet
year.
1t will be seen, then, that the
present consumption of wood in all
forms is over 100 billion board feet
annually. Estimating the forest
area of the United States at from
500 to 700 million acres, and the
annual growth at 60 board feet per
acre, the yearly increase is from 80
to AZ billion feet. At this rate. the
annual growth barely equals the
amount consumed for lumber alone.
Considering all the drains, the ann
ual consumption of wood is probably
three times the annual growth. De-
tailed estimates of standing timber
range from 400 to 1000 billion feet.
Using the larger figure, and consid-
ering the annual growth of 40 billion
feet, it appears that there is not more
than a thirty-three years supply of
timber in this country at the present
rate of consumption.
At present only about % per cent
of our total area is in State or
National Forests, and the remainder
is unreserved public land or in pri-
wade hands. The forest area is amply
sufficient, if rightly managed, to pro-
duce eventually enough timber to
supply all our needs. Yet private
owners, as we'll as the State and
National Governments, must use their
forest lands in a right way If we are
to maintain our timber supply.
Circular 1873, just issued by the
Forest Service, contains a discussion
of the drains upon the forests and
the sources and the duration of the
timber supply. This publication will
be sent free upon application to the

culture, Washington, d. C.

ADMIRAL EVANS
FLEET SAILS
Leaves Rio Amid Roar of Cannons
and Shouts of POpulace

RIO JANIERO, Brazil, Jan. "a
to the booming of guns and the
cheers of thousands on the accom-
panying pleasure craft, the American
warships sailed from Rio Janiero
yesterday afternoon, bound for Pun
ia Arenas in Magellan straits. Ten
days will bring the fleet almost mid
way on its 14,000-mile cruise to San
Francisco and the ships and the men
carried with them the godspeed and
good wishes of the whole Brazilian
nation.
The president of the republic, DR..
Penna, came to Rio Janiero from Pc
tropolis about IL o'clock and pro-
ceeded on the yacht Silvia down to
where the warships were lying. He
went aboard the cruiser Benjamin
Constant, which was in readiness to
accompany the American fleet, and
made a tour of all the American
ships. Accompanied by Admiral
Alencar, minister of marine, and
other high officials, he visited the
divisional flagship Minnesota, staying
about an hour. Admiral Thomas,
commander of the flagship, Captain
Hubbard and the American ambassa-
dor, Irving B. Dudley, received him
with all honors and the band played
the Brazilian national anthem. In
the saloon of the Minnesota there
was mutual exchange of greetings.
Admiral Thomas made little
speech, in which he expressed his
best wishes for the prosperity of Bra
I'll and her president, concluding
with Brazil, God bless you forever
more"
The president responded with a
thousand wishes for a happy voyage
for the splendid feet, prosperity for
the United States and the health of
President Roosevelt.
While the president was aboard
the Minnesota and during his trip
among the vessels salutes were ex-
changed and on his departure from
the flagship 81 guns were fired.
About 3 o'clock the American
feet began to move, passing out in
single column, and in inverse order,
according to divisions, the Alabama
leading. The three divisions of the
Brazilian navy followed, composed
of three battleships, seven cruisers
and six destroyers. In the vicinity
of Fort Villegaignon steamers circled
about, having on board thousands of
spectators from shore.
The great warships moved slowly
at first, but as they disappeared
from view they were steaming at ten
knots. One by one, as they passed
the presidents yacht, they saluted
with 81 guns and the forts respond
ed in kind There was much waving
of small flags and handkerchiefs, aud
the cheering seemed incessant.
Captain R. r. Ingersoll, chief of
staff to Rear Admiral Evans, on be-
ing interviewed before the depart
ure said that he had no special plans
for the passage of the ships through
Magellan strait. They will go
through, however, he said, as a solid
feet.
