Supply of Lumber in the United States Is Dwindling

crease of 900 to $50 0OO 900 feet in production
compared with 1922 the cut of subscriber mills exceeding
any year except 1916.
There are also notable increases in production i'll other
regions the California White Sugar Pine Manufacturers
Association of San Francisco estimating its production
about billion and half feet increase of Is per cent
over 1922 the Northern Pine Manufacturers Association
stating its production probably IA per cent more than
1922 the Western Pine Manufacturers Association as
20 per cent higher giving record years cut of 17OO
900 900 feet and the Northern Hemlock Hardwood
manufacturers Association estimating its production as
we'll over the tenyear average and about 81 per cent
than in 1922.
In his review of economic and industrial conditions in
1928 Secretary of Commerce Hoover refers the increase
III production in number of important industries and est
mates the increase in lumber production 10 per cent
over 1922 On this basis the lumber cut for 1928 would
equal about IS, 500 900 board feet.
Reports Are Incomplete.
The increase in shipments reported by the assoca-
ons are on par nearly every with those of pro-
Guction Orders show increase of somewhat over s
per cent as compared with 1922 is probable however,
that the increase is actually greater but the less complete
and accurate reports in this item account for the smaller
percentage.
At the December meeting of the directors Of the Ma
tona Lumber Manufacturers Association suggestion was
that be taken to possible greater
and accuracy in reporting association statistics
of production shipments and orders to the association 1t
pointed out that although production figures are fairly
complete recounting shipments account is kept OF
lumber used in the plant in remanufacture, in flooring
or lumber destroyed used the grounds frequently

pete as is disclosed by the fact of reduced stocks IN the
mill yards in nearly all regions.

The National Lumber Manufacturers Association, in
bulletin January estimates that the lumber production
of the United States in 1928 reached total of 100000
900 feet Special attention called to the fact that the
figures do make clear that stocks in mill yards are as
low as they are be. The estimate and accom-
panyng remarks follow: Based actual reports for
fftyone weeks and estimates for the last week of the
year. the lumber production of the mills reporting weekly
to the National Lumber Manufacturers Association shows
q Is per cent increase the reports for 1922.
The estimate of So OOO 900 feet the total um-
Der production of the country in 1922 made early last
by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association
on the basis of the 1922 association reports has been con-
firmed by the United States Forest Service figures
which were 81 426,922 900 feet the production OF
3163 mills representing probably about 80 per cent Of
the total cut of the country In 1922 the mills reporting
10 the National Lumber Manufacturers Association cut
nearly 900 feet about onethird OF the es
mated total cut of the United States.
Great Increase Shown
The lumber production of the country in 1928 is es
mated as 900 board feet The production
of the nine associations reporting production and ship
ments for 1923 OOO 900 feet shipments and other
oisposals approximately 4,4OO 900 feet. 1911
The greatest increase in production and in shipments
is in the Pacific Northwest billion feet about 20 per
cent increase production 1922 being reported by
the mills the West Coast Lumberman Association and
nearly 900 feet increase in shipments The West
Coast Lumbermens Association estimates total production
of the Douglas fir region to have been nine and onehird
billion feet in 1928 the association mills reporting nearly
60 per cent of this total.
Total production of southern pine believed by the
Southern Pine Association to have been 600
