THREE MILLION MATCHES A MINUTE

ISL by the end of the brief minute taken
TO read these paragraphs the nations
of the civilized world will have struck
three million matches. This is the
average for every minute of the twenty
four hours OF the day. Fifteen hundred
billion is the enormous number for be

sible for the consumption of one-hslf
OF this amount. st.
The importance of the industry'
which t2rns out the little splinters Of

only recognized when the average

Small and insignificant as it is, the
4 match demands perhaps as much at
tention in the choice OF the wood 60
ing into its manufacture as any other
forest product. Only the choicest por1
tions OF the best trees are suitable.
Sapwood, knOtty or cross-grai1ed
timber will not do. Instead of being u
by-product of other articles OF manu-
facture the little match is turned out
at hundreds of mills over the country
where the byproducts are bulky OBJ
jects like doors, sash, shingles, siding,
posts, and cord wood. The pines, linden
aspen, white cedar, poplar, birch, and.
willow are the most suitable match
!mbers. s~~s.
The match makers-not the matri-
moniaI kind-are already finding that
the amount of choice timber available
is dwindling. Forest conservation, il
applied to the holdings of the match
com panies, like it is on Uncle Sans
National Forests in the west, will do
much to make the supply sufficient for
longer number OF years than would
be the case if the old-time wasteful
numbering methods of a few years ago
should continue. The rapid increase
in stumpage prices is one OF the chief
factors in encouraging the wise use of
the forests where suitable match tim.
Der is available.
