NATION FACES
 TIMBER CRISIS

Washington, Sept. 24.-"The ramifi- cations of lumber shortages and high prices are limitless and have affected seriously practically our entire popu- lation," says Secretary of Agriculture E. T. Meredith.
 Originally there were in the for ests of the United States oo,ooo' 0OO,0OO board feet of lumber, ana only 2,215. 1000, 100000 board feet re, main The virgin forests covered s22, 100000 acres and have shrank to one-sixth of that area. At present S1,O00,000 acres of cut over land that ought to be growing more timber is an utterly unproduc- tive waste. This area is equivalent to the combined forests of Germany, Denmark, Holland. Belgium, France, switzerlanfd Spain rha1 and | PoE.ugai' GraWs Only half of the original virgin for est land is growing any trees at al' and upon much of this timber is so small in amount or of such 1nIer1or character that it's economic value is
 Three-fifths of the original timber | is gone, and the nation is uslns growing it., At the present rates of Consumption and production there will be no timber left in twenty-five years.
 A condition already exists in which
 the consumers of lumber in the East will have to pay $500, 100000 a year i in freight rates to obtain their sup ply from distant points. All this , could have been averted by proper
 reforestation.
 Supply Going Fast. | In ten years from now the SoutH. 1 from whence the nation is getting its l supply will be producing less than , the South can consume, and then the
 balance oY the nation will be shipping
 it from the coast.
 | New York, once the leading state in lumber production, now manufac- lures only 30 board feet per capita, when her requirements for her own population are close to 300 board feet per capita. The present cut in Penn sy1vania is now less than is used in the Pittsburg district alone, and that
 state once boasted of great forests. II Pine forests in the lake states, es-
 timated at 350,00O,0 100000 feet, are now reduced to less than 5000, OOO,-
 900 feet, and their yearly cut of
 timber is less than one-eishth of what it used to be.
 Need Reforestation. Pine forests of thea South Atlantic and Gulf states have been reduced from about 650.00o, 900 board feet to about 139, ,000, 100000 feet During the last fifteen years the South has been furnishing the build !, ing lumber and structural timbers : for the eastern and central states, ant
 within ten years these two region: will have to start shipping from tht
 coast. And then soon the forests O. 5 the West will likewise become depict ed, unless a forestry policy tha means something is inaugurated.
