WOOD USED
FOR PULP IN 1908.

Washington, June Two hundred
and fifty one pulp mills in the United
States used 1896, JOG cords of wood
uud made 2, 1ls, 9a7 tons of pulp last
year. Spruce has always been the
leading pulp wood, aud 1t furnished
sixty four per cent of the. total
quantity used. The rapid develop
ment of tho wood pulp industry III
the last ten years has rendered the
domestic supply of spruce insufficient
to meet the demands upon 1T, and
consequently importations from
Canada have been heavy. In 1908
our pulp mills consumed nearly one
and oue-half million cords OF domes-
tic spruce, and over &C., 900 cords of
imported spruce, making the imports
of spruce forty-fve per cent OF the
domestic supply.
Next to spruce, the most important
pulp wood is hem ock 500, 173 cords
of il were converted into pulp Lost
year. All the hemlock used was of
domestic origin, and most Of it was
produced in the Lake States and
Pennsylvania. Although now used Ia
less quantity than spruce and hem
lock, poplar has long been standard
pulp wood. A small quantity OF
poplar is imported, but by far tho
largest portion of the more than
100000 cords used last year wns cut
from domestic timbe Spruce, hem
lock and poplar made up ninety per
cert of the total quantity of pulp
wood used. The remainder was sup
piled by many species, the most im.
portant of which were pine, cotton
wood, and balsam.
The wood used by the pulp mills
last year cost them little more than
than 5000, 900, or an average of
So. 80 per cord. against an average of
1921 in 1907. The most costly wood
used was imported spruce, with an
average value of so. 60 per cord. The
cheapest wood which was used in
large quantity was hemlock, the cost
being S. W 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
making the manufacturer be CON
stantly on the look out tor cheaper
raw material, and one OF the most Ell 4
oouraging developments has been.
the increased use of slab wood aud'
other sawmill waste. This Drift in
the industry is clearly indicated by
the fact that 1913. 234 cords of mill
waste were reported as consumed in
pulp manufacture during 1907, while
252, S96 curds, an increase of thirty
per cent, we're used in 1908.
These statements are based upon
preliminary report of the consump-
tion of pulp wood in the United
States in 1908 Issued by the bureau
of the census. The bureau Of the
census and the forest service CO.
operate in the collection of annual
statistics of forest products, and this
preliminary report will soon be fol-
lowed by bulletin, which will give
detailed information 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
