CUTTING VERY HEAVY
BY j. s. lLLICK.
In American Forestry Magazine.


The South is the home of the yell
low pines. They produce enormous
quantities of the most useful WOOD
that grows in America. More than
oIe-third OF ali the lumber cut an
nually in the United States is pro-
duced by the yellow or hard pines of
tie South. Southern yellow pine IS
often called the wood of a. thousand
uses. 1t may not have exactly a thou
sand uses. but is so intimately asso-
ciated with our daily life that it
would be difficult for us to get along
without it. We use not only the
lumber of the Southern pines. but
also large quantities of other products
derived from them. such as tar, resi,..
turpentine and oil. The Southern
pines comprise seven different kinds
of trees. Some of them are we'll
known. occur over wide range. and
produce large quantities Of valuable
lumber, while others are little known,
occur over only restricted territory
and produce only small quantities of
very ordinary to inferior wood. Tho
woods OF the seven Southern pines
grade into one another so freely that
only three commercial kinds of South
ern yellow pint lumber are generally
recogized. viz: /. Longleaf Pine: .,
Shortleaf Pine; 5. Loblolly Pine.
These three kinds of Southern yellow
pine are the standard kinds now rec
ognized in the general lumber trade.
Other Trade Names.
They are, however, not the only
names used, for such other names rs
Georgia Pine are also common in the
lumber trade. The characteristics ty
which the three standard kinds Of
Southern yellow pine wood may he
recognized are not difficult to apply.
Thcp are given in the following out
line: Longleaf Pine. Growth
rings mostly narrow; uniform IN
width and outline: from to IL or
more rings per inch. 9. Wood ex.
tremely heavy. hard and very resinon..
uniform reddish yellow to reddish

Beauty of line and careful attention
to detail have made this bungalow one
one of the most attractive of its type.
The broad French windows, opening
on the inviting terrace, give the front
of this home an appearance of which
the owner is bound to be proud.
Careful architectural thought has
been devoted to the designing of the
porch columns. the window frames
and other details of the outside trim.
The generous number of rorches
and the prominence of the fireplace
in the living room suggest that this
is the house referred to by those vino

SLOWER
IN BUILDING
NEEDED HOMES
New Construction Far
Greater Than Here But
Shortage Also Larger.
SMALL PLACES SHORT
Excellent Material Market
in All Towns Under
$4,000 Population.

While San Antonio and Texas in
general is making rapid strid's in re-
lieving the housing shortage. the east
ern states particularly those with large
centers of population and large indus
trial areas, are making no appreciate
gains on their problem. True. they
are building FAR more dwellings than
any other part OF the country but their
needs are greater so that this building
must continue strenuously for some
time 10 come.
An important tip TO builders may be
found in data tending to show that the
smaller towns of the country rank
next to the eastern states in housing
shortage. In fact fact nearly every
town Of $4,000 or under. population is
a prospective field for the sale of
building materials and for construction
contracts.
Late in 1923. 1t was estimated that
63 per cent of the housing shortage
was in the East while 40 per cent of
al building in 1923 was done in the
East and the indications point TO 20
per cent of all building in 1924 being
in the same general area. In fact for
the next ten years, that ratio may be
expected to be maintained judging
from the apparent needs. In a recent
survey, Building Age discussed the sit.
uation in the following language:
of equal Importance to the man
who is looking for markets is this
that the needs of the smaller cities
and towns are greater in total than
the reeds Of the larger cities. Over Ga
per cent by value and over 20 per cent
by number of the building needs are in
places of under $4,000 population.
Similar TO 1924.
Especial emphasis is given to these
two groups, the Eastern States and
the smaller places. because of the sue
cess which attended a similar sugges-
ton which we made for 1922 when
firm after firm altered their sales
plans TO cover the East and smaller
places more intensively and achieved
marked increases in their business:
and also for the reason that there are
many concerns making building ma
terials and machinery. tools and sup
plies. who give no sign of realizing
the true value Of these groups as mar
ke:s. Such concerns are deliberately
weakening the scope OF their market
and the upward trend of their 1924
profits.
practically all the building con-
struction in cities and towns of $4,000
population and under is controlled by
the contractor-builder and architect
builder. who both design and build
these structures. They are responsible
for the selection and purchase of the
materials and equipment for all of this
construction.
