BIG PART OF lREE WASTED
Why TURNING the Forests Of the coun-
try Into Lumber Involves Great
Loss Of Material.

How many Of US realize the appal-
ling wastefulness which Is practiced
In our inrOads upon our timber iandsf
II Is authoritatively declared that In
turning the forest tree into lumber and
then into the finished products, the
original wood is subjected 20 greater
losses than any other important raw
material. X. G. Skerrett writes In the
Scientific American. Remember, we
cut down every year now fully 10000
900 feet of timber, and the wastage Is
such that only 800 feet OF marketable
lumber Is obtained on an average from
each 1000 feet cut IN the forest.
Take the long-leaf pine for example.
Instead Of sacrificing two-thirds Of the
tree. MS is now done that particular
branch Of the lumber industry could
be made 70 furnish us daily from the
Discarded material quite 10000 tons Of
paper. 5000 tens Of resin GDO.000 gal
