BALSAM FIR NOW IN
DEMAND FOR PULP.

Washington. March 29.-That balsam fir,
a tree which few years ago was con-
sidered of little value, is now in demand
for pulp wood is the statement made by
the department of agriculture in bulle-
tin lust issued on the subject. This de-
mand has been brought about, says the
department. by the enormous expansion
of the pulp industry during the past two
decades with its present consumption of
three and quarter million cords OF
coniferous wood and the consequent rise
in the price of spruce, the wood most in
demand for paper making. In addition,
the department goes on to say, balsam
las begun to take the place of spruce
for rough lumber, laths, and the like, as
| the price of the latter wood has risen.
The chief objection to the use Of large
amounts Of balsam fir in the ground
puIp process Of paper making is said to
Doe due to the so-called pitch in the
wood. which Injuries the felts and cylinder
faces upon which the pulp is rolled out.
Balsam fir does not have resinous wood,
and the material which gums up the
cylinder probably comes from grinding
balsam under conditions adapted to
spruce wood. Yet from 10 to Is per cent.
and possibly more of balsam can be
used in ground pulp without lowering the
grade of the paper produced. 1t is known
that with balsam logs left lying in wa
ter over a season this drawback practi-
cally disappears.
| In chemical pulp, produced through tho
action of acids these acids are known to
dissolve the pitch and any amount Of
/ balsam can be used. though some claim
| that too much balsam in the pulp gives
! a paper that lacks strength, snap and
| character
| At the present time, balsam Ar furnish
| IS about six or seven per cent. OF the
domestic coniferous wood used by the
| comtry's pulp industry. The tree itself
| constitutes, numerically, about 20 per
cent. of the coniferous forest in northern
| New York and Maine, and is abundant
in many parts o. New Hampshire. YER
mont, and in the swamps of northern
Michigan, northern Wisconsin. and Mimi
esota. Ii readily reforests cut-over area
and attans a size suitable for pulp wood
in short time.
Under present methods of cutting, bal
sam fir is said to be increasing in our
second-growth forests at the expense Of
red spruce, and with the gradual decline
in the supply of the latter wood the fir
will become more and more important
commercially.
