THE PULP WOOD PROBLEM.

WASHINGTON, June 14th. Two hundred
and ifty-one pulp mills in the United
States used 8, 346, LOG cords of wood and
made 2,1lS,e47 tons of pulp last year.
Spruce has always been the leading pulp
wood, and it furnished sixty-four per
cent Of the total quantity used. The
rapid development of the wood-pulp in
dustry in the last ten years has rendered
the domestic supply of spruce insufficient
to meet the demands upon it, and conse-
quently importations from Canada have
been heavy. In 1908 our pulp mills con-
sumed nearly one and one-half million
cords Of domestic spruce, and over &c.
900 cords of imported spruce, making the
imports of spruce forty five per cent of
the domestic supply.
Next to spruce, the most important
pulp wood is hemlock, 500, 173 cords of it
We're converted into pulp last year. All
the hemlock used was of domestic origin,
and most of it was produced in the Lake
States and Pennsylvania. Although now
used in less quantity than spruce and
hemlock, poplar has long beer standard
pulp wood. A small quantity of poplar was
imported, but by far the larger portion
of the more than 300, 900 cords used last
year was cut from domestic timber.
Spruce, hemlock, and poplar made up
ninety per cent of the total quantity OF
pulp wood used. The remainder was sup
piled by many species, the most impor-
tant CT which We're pine cottonwood, and
balsam.
The wood used by the pulp mills last
year cost them a little more than $685.
600, 600, or'an average of 1888 per 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 average for domestic
spruce was SS.76 per cord and for poplar,
So. OF per cord. The cheapest wood which
was used in large quantity was hemlock,
the cost being S. 02 per cord. Owing to
the uncertain business conditions the
total consumption of pulp wood in 1908
was nearly Is 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 manufacture
ers be constantly on the lookout for
cheaper raw material, and one of the
most encouraging developments has been
the increased use of slab wood and other
sawmiIl waste This drift in the indust-
ry is clearly indicated by the fact that
1913, 234 cords of mill waste were reported
as consumed in pulp manufacture during
1907 while 252, 896 cords, an increase of
thlrty per cent, were used in 1908
These statements are based upon q
preliminary report of the consumption Of
pulp wood in the United States in 1908
just issued by the Bureau of the Census
and the Forest Service cooperates in the
collection of annual statistics of forest
products, and this preliminary report
will soon be followed by the bulletin,
which will give detailed information upon
the use of pulp wood last year in the vari-
Gus States, the cost per cord, the amount
reduced by the mechanical, sulphite, and
soda processes, ard other facts of inter-
est to the industry.

The Cane Crop.

From every quarter of the sugar

days and cane grinding should be
postponed to the latest practice

In The cane fields the chief and
striking damage is that done to

Need Of Economy.

Expressing the opinion that the
Government would dc better to
,courage the development of
more farms instead of more battle
ships, B. F. Yoakum, chairman OF
the Executive Committee OF the
Rock Island-Frisco railroad sys-
te N, said recently:
"The story of Government ex-
travagance is being told so broad
ly through the newspapers that
the masses are beginning to real
ize that something is wrong.
"The same disregard of value OF
money would send the strongest
private business in this country
into bankruptcy. A proper use
of the pruning knife in a down.
ward revision Of expenses will
bring surprising results.
at is not practical to ltemlze
where reductions should be made,
but they must come. The deficit
should be cared for by reducing
expenditures and not by raising
taxes to increase revenues.
"The European nations are
teaching us a lesson. The con-
troversies in England, the recent
troubles in Spain, the unrest in
Russia, the quarrelling over mill
tary taxes in Germany and the
struggle against new taxes IN
France should strengthen our faith
in the proposition that it is better
to grow more farm products anc
| make prosperous the man who
sows and harrows than to bulle
| more battleships and new guns.
eve would better spend more
of the money we burn up in pow
der in making new farms.

land will comfortably support

Great interest has been mani
tested by the farmers OF Russia
over recent experiments in their
country regarding the production
of grain. 1t has been shown that
a single seed can produce over an
acre of grain. The method is to
plant each grain in a conical pit
ii to II inches deep and AZ inches
wide. After every three weeks
the sprouting grain is covered
with II layer of earth. This pro-
cess is repeated ten times.
