Has Rendered Supply
of Spruce insufficient

cord against an average of 1921 in
1907. The most costly wood used was
imported spruce, with an average
value of $1,000 per cord. The aver
age for domestic spruce was $S.76 per
cord and for poplar, $8.04 per cord.
The cheapest wood which was used
in large quantity was hemlock, the
cost being $500 per cord. Owing to
the uncertain business conditions the
total consumption of pulp wood in
1908 was nearly 16 per cent less than
in 1907, but this did not prevent a
considerable increase in the price Of
wood. The high price of wood is maxi
ing the manufacturers be constantly
on the lookout for cheaper raw ma
terial, and one of the most encourage
ing developments has been the in
creased use of slab wood and other
sawmill waste This drift in the in
dustry is clearly indicated by the fact
that 1924 cords of mill waste We're
reported as consumed in pulp manu
facture during 1907, while 252,S96
cords, an increase of thirty per cent
were used in 1908.
These statements are based upon
preliminary report of the consump-
ton of pulp wood in the United States
in 1908 just issued by the bureau of
the census. The bureau of the census
and the forest service cooperate in
the collection of annual statistics of
forest products, and this preliminary
report will soon be followed by a
bulletin, which will give detailed in
formation upon the use of pulp wood
last year in the various states, the
cost per cord, the amount reduced by
the mechanical, sulphite, and soda
processes, and other facts of interest
to the industry.

WILSON TALKS OF FARMS
Scarcity of Labor a Handicapped
Many Have Gone from Farms to

Work Comparatively Easy.

Washington, Sept 17-"The average
laborer is today living better than
Queen Elizabeth did in her time" said
Secretary Wilson today upon his re-
turn from a months vacation on his
farm in Iowa. He was discussing the
prosperous condition of the farmers of
the west and the high wages of the
working man in the east.
"The farmer is still handicapped by
lack of labor. Too many have gone
from the farm to the sidewalk. l hope
that education along agricultural lines
will remedy this, but the tide has not
yet turned backward. One thing, how
ever, the farmer today, by means of
improved machinery, can do many
times as much as the farmer accom-
pEshed ten years ago. He does it with
ease, too, for the farmer sits at nearly
all his work nowadays"
