 Changes in Steel Production
 Marvellous as were the wonders worked by the introduction of the open hearth furnace into the steel industry of the United States, stfll greater results are confidently expected by expert metallurg- ists after the electric furnace, deriving its power from hydro plants, has passed the experimental stage. and the water powers of the country have been developed to a point where cheap power may be obtained. It is obvious, therefore, that the steel in- dustry of the United States is in it's in- fancy, and that the lowering of costs, and | increase in production of steel will ne- cessitate the widening of its uses and the seeking of further channels of trade, and | in most all cases at the expense of the | lumber industry.
 Future profits therefore, ip the lumber trade must come from increased utillza- | tion-from the manufacture of products which will absorb the material now vast | ed or utilized without profit-rather than | from increased prices Mere adjustment of total supply to demand will scarcely meet the situation. A method must be ! found to limit for each grade the quan- tity produced to that actually needed for consumption. With the> higher grades this will not be difficult; there exists no oversupply in these. Year by year the quantity required is about the same as | that produced. It is with the medium and low grades that the difficulty will come. | It is in their case that that oversupply prevails and competition rules ,and this oversupply may be further increased by demand for thorough grading.
 Other Avenues of Use
 To reduce the quantity of low grades il will be necessary to find other avenues of use for the material which now goes into i them. Obviously the problem calls for the most thorough study. Possible starting points, however. are not lacking. ont such point is found in the fact that tho minor wood using industries are going to the forests for their raw material when in many cases inferior materials | from the sawmills would fully meet theil needs. Approximately D per cent of thu | 40, GOO, 900 railroad ties used each year art hewed. These could as well be sawed By making the ties at the sawmill a con | siderable part of the timber now going into inferior lumber could be turned tC | that use. Moreover, such material comes from top logs and from hearts of large logs, which are often so knotty as tC i throw the lumber into the lower grades Hewed ties now come from the best mid dle sized growing trees, which in 25 year. would make excellent saw timber. Thu: a double service could be performed, thu conservation of future high grade tim Der, and the utilization of present low grade materials, and by so doing the re duction of an oversupply of low grade | lumber.
