FORESTS GONE
IN 81 YEARS
AT Present Rate Of Deple-
ton in New
England
SAYS YALE TEACHER
OF NUMBERING
--------
Loss Of Wood Industries Is
Likely Without Re-
forestation

"A Boston, Dec, 27.-Based upon pres
ent stands and rate Of growth and
present rate of depletion, the forests
Of New England will be cut in period
Of 80 years, r. c. Bryant, professor Of
numbering at Yale school Of forestry,
said in an address to-day before the
New England Forestry Congress here.
Reforestation or loss Of her wood in
dustries were the alternatives facing
New England, he said.
"Can New England afford to freeze
out of its midst industries, the value
Of whose manufactured products an
nually aggregate nearly one billion
dollars, whose capital investment is
$300,000O00 or more and which give
employment to nearly 100000 people r.
he asked.
"We have in New England per
capita forest area of 81 acres, which
Is greater than that of any of the Eu-
ropean countries except Finland, Rus
STA, Norway and Sweden. On this
land we are producing per acre less
than 40 board feet Of saw timber,
while to make our forests meet our
needs for saw timber it will be neces-
sary to produce about 100 board feet
per acre annually.
1This will require heavy invest
ment, but we are already making a
greater one in transportation for to-
day we import nearly one billion board
feet from the south and far west. New
England is to-day annually investing
in transportation to bring in her de-
felt of lumber at least S7 900. 900, a
sum which would reforest the five and
none half million acres of denuded land
in her borders within period 0f 10
years"
Speaking on New England forests
in retrospect" Austin F. Halves, state |
forester of Connecticut, saids
"In the course of the three centur-
les that have passed (since l620l the
virgin forest has been reduced from 95 |
per cent to five per cent of the total
area of New England. Most Of the
area has been either severely culled,
or has been cut and is now covered
with immature second growth. Never
in the history of New England has
there been as much waste land as at
present and never has there been so
great need for the systematic rails
ing Of timber
