VALUE OF THE LUMBER
The Forestry society of California
has issued a bulletin giving the result
of its Investigations along this very
/ line. In part this bulletin says: The
price at which eucalyptus lumber can
! be sold 10 years hence is somewhat
problematical, owing to the rapid de-
crease of hardwood and the constantly
advancing prices. Present figures are
taken as a basis from which to figure
the present value of groves. The diff
ferent varieties of eucalyptus lumber
vary somewhat in price. The kinds
used for interior finish. furniture. cabi-
net work, etc, bring higher prices than
the kinds used in heavy construction
agricultural implements, etc. 1t is
| ascertained that the present retail price
| of finished eucalyptus lumber is $125
to S140 per thousand; eucalyptus floor
ing, 500 to S110; dimension timber
used in wagon construction, farming
implements, etc. $50 to $500. The aver
! age wholesale price, according to the
best information at hand, is about SO
per thousand except for selected lum-
Der. which will demand higher whole
sale price. If $40 is taken as the aver
/ age wholesale price of all grades of
!
| in q tree II inches by 80 feet is eX-
actly S. This price, then, is the aver
age value of the eucalyptus trees 10
years old growing throughout the
state of California today.
INCREASES RAPIDLY
after tree has attained lumber
proportions it increases very rapidly
value. The rapid growing varieties
at Is years should contain an average
of about 220 board feet, which at $40
1 per thousand, indicates a value of SIS.
The large growing varieties at 20
years of age should contain an average
/ of about SO board feet, which, figured
at the same price per thousand. would
make a value of $40 per tree.
The lumber in a tree should be clear
profit because the refuse slabs and
limbs can be sold either as irewood
or small dimension timber for the
manufacture of small wooden articles
at price which will just about cover
the cost of cutting and manufacturing
the lumber.
"All of the foregoing figures are
based upon eucalyptus trees as they
are found today and do not represent
the size or value of trees which are
planted in the best of soil and proper
| ly cared for. 1t is entirely probable
that the groves now being planted un-
der favorable conditions for timber
/
value of the groves now existing in
California"
