TO STUDY TIMBER coNSERVA.
TON


The future development of the lum
Der industry in this country lies in
the direction Of a closer utilization Of
forest products. Both forsters and
practical lumbermen now agree on
this point
Just what can be done in this field
is well illustrated in the operations
al the mill of the Great Southern
Lumber Company, which has just re-
opened its plant at Bogalusa, Louisi-
ana, in response TO the increased de-
mand 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 ca
pable of turning out the enormous
amount of 100000 feet of sawn lum-
Der board measure, per day. A read
er can get a fair idea of this quantity
O. lumber when he is told that its out
put is enough TO build a little town
of forty houses. along with a good
sized church and a school house ev-
cry day.
This company was quick to grasp
the significance of the rapid depletion
OF timber resources. Last year it be-
gan a cooperative investigation in
wood utilization with the United
States forest service and arrange
ments have just been completed for
a renewal Of the experiments. The
work will be along practical lines
and will be aimed to secure a closer
utilization of the products of the
southern lumber mills and at the
same time produce a margin of prof
il in excess of that obtained by the
methods which are now practiced.
The field for work along this line
is broad. II is well known that the
superior grades of lumber are obtain
ed from old mature trees, provided
they are not weakened by decay or
other influences. In other words,
thousand feet. board measure, of lum-
Der. sawed from a tree two feet in
diameter costs less and is worth more
than a thousand feet sawed from a
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 de-
cay far more rapidly than if cut from
heartwOOd. II is not good business
policy, however, in a great many cas-
IS TO saw the most valuable timber
into commodities which are relative
ly low in cost, such as ties and poles.
IL Is the intention. therefore. of the
company TO find out just what size
and class OF timber can be best util-
lied for the cheaper commodities
when given a preservative treatment.
To this end careful study will be
made 10 ascertain the amount and
value OF the products sawed from
trees of different sizes and Just how
each can Dee best utilized, so as to Sc
cure greatest economy and profit.

The Journal interviewed Mr.. vii.
son upon his return from Princeton
and he gave us the following state
ment regarding the meeting there.
He was not inclined to talk much
and refused to 90 INTO details as to
the deal, but simply said that it seem

He said that the Imperial company
made no offer and the Association
merely asked NJ. Hodge to come in
to the market IN competitor with other
buyers.
Mr.. Wilson stated that he thought
the round price was improbable and
seemed to think that should they sell
at round price that it it would cause
more or less confusion. He stated
that he thought the Imperial com
pany was in good faith and that the
thought the conference would result
very satisfactory to both the buyer
