TIMBER SHOULD BE RE-
GARDED AS CROP

Whether timber is to be mined
from u forests, without thought
of replacement, like coal from our
hills, or whether it is to be consider
ed as n crop to be harvested and
grown like other farm crops is the
main theme of a bulletin just pub
lished by the Forest Service, U. S.
Department of Agriculture. entitled
Timber: Mine or Crop"
The bulletin discusses very thor
oughly the problem now confront
ing the country as a result of the
lack of a forestry policy and the re-
sulting depletion Of the nations
forests by logging operations and
fire.
Nearly half the land area of the
United States, some S22, 900, 900
acres, was originally forested,
states the bulletin but the forested
area has now been reduced to 1885,
00O 900 acres of virgin forest $780,
100000 acres of comparatively in.
ferior culled and second growth.
and $1,000, 600 acres of barren
land, a total of slightly less than
47O, 900, 900 acres.
Largely through timber mining
the bulletin states, "the originaI
stand of timber has been reduced
from more than 5000 billion board
feet of virgin timber to 1000 bill.
lion feet of virgin timber and GOO
billion feet additional in culled and
second-growth stands.
"Seventy-five per cent of the re-
naming virgin timber is west of the
Great Plains, and more than so pei
cent Of all our remaining saw tim,
Der is in the three Pacific Coast
States while nearly half of the lum.
Der cut is consumed in the regior
east of the Mississippi river anc
north of the Ohio and Potomac
rivers. Lumber producing and con
suming centers are so far apart thai
we pay $3.50, 100000 annually il
lumber freight"
In the bulletin Is traced the shift
ing of the timber industry from tn,
east to the middle west and south
and then to the west. The neces
sfty for vigorous reforestation ant
for the conservation of our remain
ing forests is emphasized since, &C
cording to the bulletin, the avail

States is being consumed abou.

Despite the rapid growth in the

CHEMICAL RESEARCH RE
VEALING NEW USES
FOR WOOD

Chemical research is revealing
new uses for wood that were not
dreamed of a few years ago, de-
clares the Forest Service, U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, in the bull
letin recently published entitled
Timber: Mine or Crop?"
"The age of wood has not been
left behind us-it may well lie
ahead of u.s. the bulletin states in
calling attention to the great pro-
gress made in recent years in the
utilization of wood waste and to the
new uses of wood which r con-
stantly being discovered.
The Forest Service in its bull
letin advances the argument that
as wood is being replaced in one
field it uses in other fields are be-
ing extended, and that, therefore,
it is all the more necessary to treat
our forests as crop lands rather
than as timber mines with no
thought Of replacement.
zone example of the extension
of wood uses" states the bulletin,
'is the expanding Isl OF pulp wood
not only for paper products Of
various kinds but also for fibre con-
tanners, wallboard, and similar
forms Of material, and recently
even for making actual artificial
boards. The chemical utilization of
wood for the production of various
~by-products is still in its infancy.
the next few years may see the use
of wood for the production of alco-
hol on a large scale to take the
place Of gasoline. Wood is already
used for the manufacture of artifi-
cial silk, rope, and carpets and
other fabrics"

And while NJ. Louis docs not say
SO, presumably it would not help
much il America started out to
remedy her dangerous condition by
cancelling the French war dept,
amounting to more than three bill
lion dollars. For America has not
got those three billions in her gold
en- veins at present. Therefore. re-
l,eving Us of something which we

is NJ. Louis's evident diagnosis that

The United States can not but

to know what ais one And it is
also fitting and proper that the
grateful France which produced La

literature should be the one to
come to u aid with a suggestion
Of a helping hand.
But what NJ. Louis does not say,
in his structures on the terrible eff

France is suffering from currency
