SECRETARY WALLACE's
TALK ON FORESTRY

Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace, when he appeared before the
senate committee on problems re-
lating to reforestation, which be
gan hearings recently, outlined
the general forest situation of the
country and advocated a broad
program of public action to meet
the national timber requirements
through the growing of new sup
plies.
An additional 5000 billion feet
of timber" said Secretary Wal
lace, "has been reduced to 1,600
billion feet of virgin and 5000 bill
lion feet of culled and second
growth stumpage. The forest
area has shrunk from 500 million
acres to nearly 469 million, of
which only 1873 million acres are
virgin forest, chiefly in the far
West. The yearly drain on the
forest is twenty-five million cubic
feet, the yearly growth about six
billion feet. For sawtimber and
other high grade products the
drain is six times the replacement.
Forty-tive per cent of our
lumber cut is consumed east of the
Mississippi and north of the Ohio
and Potomac, but 60 per cent of
the timber is west OF the great
plains. Depletion of the southern
pine forests is rapidly increasing
the proportion of far wetsern
lumber coming into the eastern
markets.
Between 1914 and 1920 the
average rail haul on lumber has
increased 81 per cent The aver
age freight charge in 1920 per
thousand feet of lumber consum-
ed was about $3.50. Rising trans
portation costs are the fundament-
al causes of high lumber prices.
In 1921 it took 500 to buy as
much lumber, and poorer lumber
i'm quality, in the average market
las 800 bought in 1910. Twenty
eight states consumed more lumb-
Ter than they cut. The annual
