PLANS APPROVED
PROGRAM BEING coNslpEREn
FOR CLOSER COORDINATION
AMONG LUMBER PRoDuc.
ING TERRITORIES.

New Orleans, La. = Program for a
closer industrial coordination among
the various lumber producing terri
tories of the United States. to facili-
tate readjustment to postwar trade
conditions, was evolved last week ar
a conference of representative lum-
bermen from all parts of the country
held IN Atlantic City in connection
with the general convention of bust
ness interests called together there
by the National Chamber of Com
MERGE
Information regarding the steps
taken by the lumbermen at Atlantic
City, which will be suggested as a
basis for action by Congress, was
brought to New Orleans today by ].
q. Rhodes, secretary-manage of the
Southern Pine Association.
Continuation OF governmental price
regulation such as has been in effect
during the war period, was opposed.
Other resolutions adopted were:
That conservation measures which
have proved beneficial during war be
preserved during peace; that all gov
eminent duties be reciprocal with all
foreign countries as a protection to
domestic trade; that an International
Reserve aBnk for foreign business BE-
established by the United States
with branches in all countries
included in the League of Nations;
that all restrictions on import trade
should be removed that the eoloni-
cation of eut-over and arid lands as
farms for returned soldiers be en-
eouraged; that patent laws should be
amended SO that foreigners could not
hold United States patent unless
manufacture of article was actually
begun within two years; that the
Capital Issues Committee be con-
tinued during the period of recon-
struction; that the government
should extend and adequately main
tain the work of the Forest Products
Laboratories; and that uniform cost
accounting should be adopted by in
dustries.

FENCE AROUND
WORLD SIX Times
TWO AND A HALF BILLION FEET
OF LUMBER FOR THE GOVERN
MENT IN LESS THAN
YEAR.

New Orleans, La. Reporting to
Congress on its dealing with the lum-
Der industry, the Council of National
Defense makes the following refer
ence to deliveries of Southern pine.
THE shipments on account of gov
eminent lumber reuirements for the
period July /, 1917, to May 28, 1918,
will be found to approximate $780,
100000 feet. This total does not in
clude various small local purchases.
nor does it take account of indirect
government contracts, such as NUM-
ton boxes and other similar con-
tracts requiring lumber
AT the inception of this work in
July, 1917 the first consideration
was given in the necessity for
promptly and efficiently supplying the
government with the amount of lum-
Der which was anticipated at that
time, serious consideration also being
given the necessity of co-ordinating
the producing saw mills of this coun-
try and at the same time maintain
ing reasonable prices for all.
The public will get fair idea of
what an enormous amount of lumber
2,600,000,000 feet is when it is stated
that to transport this lumber to mar
ket would require a solid train of
cars extending from the Gulf of Mex
leo to the Canadian border. 1t would
make a board walk three feet wide
extending six times around the world,
or would build a board fence fifty
feet high that would circle the geo
graphical borders of the United
States.
And yet even this enormous guam
tity of lumber is not half the normal
annual production of the 22O mills
which comprise the Southern Pine
Association.

SUGAR BOWL is
BACK ON THE JOB

Owing to the increase in the sup
ply of Louisiana cane sugar and
western beet sugar, and to the fact
that the new Cuban crop is expect
ed shortly, the U. S. Food Admins
tration has rescinded rules No. and
No. from the general orders for
public eating places.
These rules forbade the use of the
sugar bowl on the table, and limited
the service of sugar to two teaspoon
fuls per person per meal, and to four
pounds for every ninety meals serv-
ed, including all uses.
Sugar restrictions have at the
same time been removed from the
home, and consumers are no longer
required to observe the ration of four
pounds of sugar per person per
month.
