FOREST DEPLETION
GIVEN AS CAUSE OF
PAPER SHORTAGE
Serious Depletion of American Forests
Is Cause Of Print Paper Shortage
Expert Says.

Washington, d. c., July II. - The
fundamental cause for the present
shortage of newsprint paper is the
serious depletion of the forests of the
Northeastern and Lake states where
there is an overdevelopment of the
pulp and paper industries, according
to a report o the Senate by the Forest
Service, United States Department OF
Agriculture, in response to a request
for information on timber depletion,
prices, exports, and ownership. The
report, which has recently been made
public, is one of the most comprehen-
sive ever prepared dealing with the
lumber resources of the Nation
Since the requirements of paper
making restrict the kinds of wood that
can be advantageously used in max
ing newsprint, four species - spice,
hemlock, balsam, and poplar - sup

report. The occurrence of these spe-
cies chiefly in the Late States and New
England has led to the over-central-
ization of the paper-making industry
there, it is stated
Paying Penalty for Depletion.
Until recently, when abnormal de-
mands, short supplies and resulting
high prices led to increased newsprint
production through the utilization OF
plants designed for and formerly used
in making other kinds of paper, there
has been no expansion in the news
print industry in the United States
since 1909, and we have had to import
large quantities of pulpwood and pa
per, the report points out. The demand
however, has greatly increased, and
because of excessive depletion of our
own resources this country now is de-
pendent upon foreign sources for two

cannot afford to eliminate the use OF
phosphate even at the present high
prices. In the bluegrass region in
many cases nitrate of soda or sulphate
of amonia used as top dressing on the
wheat in the spring gives profitable
increase, whereas, In the Central Blue
grass region very little increase may
be expected from the use of phos-
pilates.

more than in 1915. "Prior to the war,
says the report, 1.-The larger newspa-
pers secured all or practically all of
their supplies under contract, and a
relatively small percentage of the total
newsprint consumption was mandled
on a spot market basis. During the
las tyear the larger papers have found
1t increasingly difficult to secure all OF
their supplies under contract and have
been forced to secure the remainder in
the open market. 1t is in the open
market that the full effect of competi-
ton for inadequate supplies is shown
and this is reflected in the much high
err prices.
Small Papers Suffer Most.
Unfortunately it is upon the spot
market that the smaller newspapers,
least able IN increase returns by in
creasing adveristig and raising their
rates, must depend" The result has
been that many Of these small papers
have been forced to curtail their issues
and have had the greatest difficulty in
securing enough newsprint to continue
publication.

industry to move to more remote TIM
