Millions In National Timber.

The merchantable timber acquired BY
the federal government in the purchase
Of land for National Forests In the White
Mountains of New Hamphire and the
southern Appalachians amounts to more
than billion board feet, worth upward
of IS, 0OO, 900 on the stump, according to
an appraisement by the Forest Service.
In addition, there is an enormous quan.
tity of inaccessible and widely scattered
timber which cannot be considered
marketable until regional developments
and improvements place 1t within reach.
Plans for cutting some of this timber
/ in accordance with scientific forestry
methods already have been prepared and
in few localities operations have been
started. In some places 1t has been
found necessary to remove mature trees
in order to give the young growth q
chance. This work Is being done large
" BY local residents, who have bought
the stumpage and are converting 1t in
to lumber. The construction OF roads
and trails is making more and more tim
Der accessible to lumber operators, but
the principal use Of these improvements
at present 10 for local communication,
fire protection, and to open up the wild
land for recreation use. A secondary In.
fluence OF the Improvements Is to In.
crease the value OF the land and to make
the timber on 1t more accessible and val
liable to operators.
A great deal of the forest land within
the pu, chase areas was cut over or Gull
ed before the government acquired It,.
Nearly all OF this class OF land, however,
Is covered now with young growth and
even the abandoned farm acreage, which
forms about two percent Of the whole, is
slowly reverting to forest.
OF mature timber which could be
placed on the market at once, the east
ern national forests contain q total OF
about !, loo, 900, 900 board feet, which In
cludes all the common eastern hard
woods, together with much spruce, q
good deal of hemlock, and some pine.
The land, including the timber, has been
bought at an average price Of little
more than IS an acre. More than 1000.
600 acres of this land will eventually be
acquired for national forests in the east {,
IL the recommendation made by the Ma
tional Forest Reservation Commission in
its last annual report 10 carried out.
