STATE HAS 100000
ACRES OF TIMBER
Value of Forest Products from Farms
Greater Than Dairy Products
Could Increase Value.

MONTPELIER, Dec. I9-The area of
merchantable timber on Vermont farms
III 1920 reported from 1927 farms, was
473,7l7 acres, according TO a United
States department of agriculture report
received by w. @. Hastings, state for
ester. As this is about half of the
farms in the state, the correct area
MIR. Hastings calculates.
The value of forest products used on
the farm, including cordwood, fence
posts, and lumber from logs produced
on the farm is reported for 1919 at 81,
sos, 45l on a basis of reports from 69.3
per cent of the farms in the state. The
value of lumber and pulp wood produced
here and actually sold during 1919 was
So, 93t ,030, according to figures prepared
by the state forester.
If the value of the forest products
used on all the farms IN the state for
1919 is estimated at $500, 900, the total
for lumber and pulp wood sold and used
on the farm is over $36,000,000.
According to the state forester's fig
Ures, the value of all the dairy products
produced in the state during that wear
was S27 207,Sl3. ON this basis, the lum-
Der industry exceeds the sale of dairy
products in Importance, and lumber be-
comes a more important item than dairy
products. potatoes and orchard fruits
put together.
The value of Vermont 5 lumber could
be increased manv. times over in n de
cade or two if the lumber were com
pletely finished before shipping, instead
of being shipped raw, in Mr.. Hastings :
opinion. This increase could be secured
in the time given by the expenditure of
the sum of $4,000 on a forest depart
ment, Mr.. Hastings stated.
