ThA Timber Supply Mensoed.

Lumber is certain to lose its pres
ent importance in North Carolina and
become one Of the minor industries II
measures for conserving present TIM
Der supplies are not taken speedily
declared Assistant Forester E. h. Car
ter, of the United States forest serv-
ice, in an address before the North
Carolina Forestry Association at Ashe-
vile, N. c., recently. Mr., Carter dis
cussed the results Of an investigation
of lumber conditions throughout the
United States which the forest serv-
ice made in response to a resolution
presented to the UnUed states Senate
by Senator Capper. This resolution
called for report on the timber sup
ply OF the country, the effects OF pres
ent depletion on the high cost OF ma
terials, and the effects Of lumber ex-
ports on domestic industries.
Mr.. Carriers address showed that
unless the young forests in North Car
DINA and adjacent States are pro-
tected from fire and wisely managed,
these regions which are now shipping
lumber to other parts OF the country
soon would be forced TO import sup
plies for their own use.
Although North Carolina still has a
onsiderable amount of timber, cut
ting is progressing at rapid rate and
the remaining old-growth forests are
bound to disappear unless a definite
conservation program is adopted by
the State.
