in value than the exports every year
except 1901. the excess averaging
about Is per cent.
1t is not, however, to be supposed
that the articles included among
the imports are directly competitive
in any large degree with our native
forest products. The bulk of the
imports consist of india rubber and
other tropical gums, dyewoods, and
cabinet woods. Only from % to 80
per cent of the total is made up of
timber, and wood pulp from species
native to this country. This class
of products is derived chiefly from
Canada.
Timber an dlumber have during
the entire period made up the bulk
of our exports. constituting ON an
average not far from three-fourths
of the total value.
Naval stores tchiefly spirits of tur-
pentine and rosin), so important a
branch of exports during colonial
times, still swell the. volume of our
orally appreciated. Representing
something over third of the total
in 1851-1856, they fall to less than
one-tenth during the civil war, but
since that time have averaged just
about one-fourth of the exports of
forest products. The expansion in
the exports of naval stores from for
ests of the southern states has been
in point of value, just about equal
to the increase of exports by logging
camps throughout the whole country
Except for the war prices of the
early sixties, both rosin and spirits
of turpentine attained their highest
export price in 1907, while the low
est level was reached late in the
nineties. The export price of rosin
rose from $2.41 barrel In 1855 to
SAT- in 1864, then fell as low as
$1.46 in 1899, to rise again to SAP
in 1907. Similarly, spirits of turpen-
tine brought 40 cents gallon in 1851
over 81 gallon in 1854. less than
rs cents in 1897. and SIS cents in
1907.
1t Is interesting to note the rapid
increase that marks the imports of
wood pulp. This product had vol
ume of only $4,000 in 1880, the first
year for which it is separately re-
corded. BY 1890 it had increased to

NUMBERING
BIG INDUSTRY
Forests Contribute $9O,OOO,.
600 to Exports of Nation
Important Statistics.

Our forests contributed 80 million
dollars to the exports of the United
States during the fiscal year 19O8-a
twenty fold Increase since 1851. The
imports of forests products-chiefly
india rubber and other gums from
the tropics and lumber from Canada
have grown to even larger proper
tons. From a little over a million
dollars in 1851 they rose to over
122 millions in 1907, falling slightly
below 100 millions In 1908. These
are some of the striking facts set
forth in a comprehensive bulletin on
our foreign trade in forest products,
just published by the department of
Agriculture This bulletin covers a
period of nearly sixty years.
A better idea of the rapid growth
OF this trade can be obtained by
comparing it with the population.
During the past five years of the
period 1851-1855) "a cents per cap
tia represents the average annual
exports and less than cents the
imports of forest products. Since
then both imports and exports have
Increased much faster than popula-
ton. During the five years 1901
1905 the average exports per capita
reached "a cents and the imports 80
cents. In 1908 the exports were ST.
.O4 and the imports SLIP per cap
tia.
During the first five years of this
period 1S51-1855) the exports of for
est products were three times the
imports. During the next five years
the exports were 60 per cent great
er in value than the balance of trade
IN forest products shifted from one
side to the other. Since 1879 the
imports have been decidedly higher

in 1908 to over s7,OOO,O0 In guam
tity the average IMPORTS between
1880 and 1890 were much below one
pound per capita. In 1908 more than
six pounds per capita was imported.
In 1898 the import price of wood
pulp was $40 per long ton; in 1908
1t was $3l, an increase of more than
80 per cent in ten years. The ex-
ports of wood pulp are comparative
