are in large part responsible for the
hating in the house building move
ment. Lumber prices have increased
very sharply since the war and prices
in many instances have gone up three
hundred per cent. above those of pre-
war period. When diminished forest
supply and increased cost of produc-
ton are linked together 1t IS not sur
prising that these unfortunate condi-
tions are confronting US.
The one thing which the government
may do is to adopt that policy which

timber which Is necessary to our lum-
Der needs. In our section or the coun-
try the supply Is almost entirely ex-
nausted. The diminution in the soft
wood forests of New England, and
lake states. and even the South. has
been steady and continuous. Many
watchful students of the situation
think that another decade Is going TO
put the South in q condition where 1t
can do no more than meet It's own
demands. There remains a large sup
ply on the Pacific Coast, but the prob
lem of transportation makes this sup
ply unavailable 10 the East and Mid

cost of transportation which will con-

We trace our destructive forests fires

There are 315 900 600 acres of state

BY James VI. Cox

The proclamation by President
Wilson of Fire Prevention Day. Octo-
Der 9, brings before the country, in a
striking way. the necessity Of conserv-
ing the nations resources, which is
one of the greatest internal questions
of the country. Millions OF dollars
are invested in business dependent on
forest products our forest fire bill
is $4,000. 600 annually. The mounting
cost of print paper and lumber is
enormous.
THE report OF the Forest Service IN
response to the Senate resolution call
ing for Information on forest deple-
ton, discloses facts that must bring
to every one realizing sense Of the
great Importance and necessity for
conserving our forest resources There

lection OF our forest lands. The neces-
sity OF fire protection. not alone for
the manufactured products but for the
source of the raw materials OF these
products, can hardly be overempha-
sized and should be kept always prom
| inently before the nation Action is
requisite to the solution Of conserya-
ton problems and It IS one of the
things l Will strive for early. If
elected"
In these two statements there Is a
promise Of action. Why are these two
publishers close to the subject? They
know all about the cost of print paper.
Almost every newspaper reader has
found his paper increasing in price
after every publisher Ahas fought
against a boost in price. Here IS what
is the matter: Ten years ago the
United States produced its entire sup
ply Of pulpwood but now two-thirds
Of &c is imported. This means freight
rates to be added to the purchase
price. Indications are that supplies
Of puipwood timber in New England
and New York will be exhausted in
twenty years. In New York alone sup
plies viii be gone in ten years. De-
pendence upon foreign supplies Of
/ pulpwood for news print means we

| ufacturers as to prices. only one
third Of The newspapers issued in 1919
were printed on the product Of Ameri-
can forests High cost OF pulp and
paper mills prevent the manufactur-
ing plants from following the timbsrs
as to saw mills Much pulpwood has
now TO be freighted 500 miles to the
mills We bought nearly 400 600
tons Of pulpwood from Canada in
1918 and the prices advanced from
$40 a cord to az high as s25.
No wonder the two candidates know
the need Of national forest policy
But the public is coming to know the
need because Of the housing situation.
The virgin forests Of the United
States covered s22 million acres They
are now shrunk to one-sixth Of that
area Merchantable saw timber Is
estimated roughly at 2215 billion
board feet something less than three
l fourths Of which IS virgin stumpage.
The rest is second growth Of relatively
inferior quality. About one-half Of
The timber left is in the three Pacific
Coast States and over e1 per cent Is
! West Of the Great Plains A little

country AGO billion board feet, is
hardwoods
Every year there Is now consumed
or destroyed 56 billion board feet Of
material Of saw timber size. The total
yearly consumption of all classes of
timber Is about 26 billion cubic feet.
Our depleted forests are growing less
than onefourth Of this amount The
| United States is not only cutting heavi-
ly into its remaining virgin forests
every year. but Is also using up the
smaller material upon which the fu-
ture supply Of saw timber depends
much more rapidly than 1t is being
replaced. The problem Is one of the
present as we'll as the future.
