CEMENT AS A suBsrI-
TUTE FOR WOOD
Probable Effect on Lumber Prices IL
the United States.


The relation between the Increasing
use OF cement and the diminishing
timber supply in the United States
has been tne subject OF some interest.
Ing correspondence between the Geo
logical Survey and the Forest Service
at Washington. In letter TO the For
ester, the Director Of the Survey tool;
occasion to quote from a statement Of
a large Philadelphia firm to the effect
that It would be difficult to estimate
what the additional drain on the lum.
Der supply would have heen during
the last few years had not cement
come into sncn general use. The For.
ester replied In part as follows:
"The Forest Service is watching
with a great deal cf interest the in.
creasng use of cement and other sub.
stttutes for wood. They are undoubt.
eddy having some influence on thu
price OF lumber. though do not think
that up to the present time they have
greatly retarded the advance in lum.
Der prices. The fact is tnat our In.
dHstrlai progress has been so great
that our requirements for every kind
Of structural material have increased
tremendously. We are using at the
present time more lumber per capita
The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1908-11-16

than ever before and probably twice
rs much per capita as we did fifty
years ago. The conclusion can not b,
escaped therefore, that in the future
we must dePsnd more taan in the past
on other materials than wood for ce:-
tain purposes at least. AS to the in,
crease that will take place in the
production Of cement, my impression
Is that this will be very great"
II tho increase in the use of cement
in the United States in past years is
to be regarded as any index to it,
future use. the conclusions of the
Forester are well founded. The stat
istics OF the production of minerals
show that our output of cement has
more than doubled in the last fl%a
years, and 1t is well known that its
use is being very widely extended
This is due to two conlitions In the
first place, excellent cement materials
are common in almost all sections of
the country; in the second place, re-
inforced concrete for heavy building
material is receiving increased favor
among engineers, while in the country
regions large amaunts of cement are
beln gused for building blocks for
smaller structures. Reports received
by the Survey during the six years
from 1902 to 1907. show that the pro.
duction OF cement in the United States
hes increased from 25,o00,000 barrels.
valued at approximately $25OOQOO0
to 100000 barrels. valued at $780,
100000, the annual statistics showing
a steady increase in production vita
some slight fluctuations In price.
