THE FUTURE OF LAKE
STATES WHITE PINE

Of the $50 billion boarI feet
estimated to have comprised the or
iginal stand of white pine in the
Lake States, 800 billion have been
cut, more than 40 odd billion have
been destroyed by fire, and possibly
five billion board feet, mainly in
Minnesota, remain to be cut, ac-
cording to the Forest Service,
United States Department of Agri-
culture.
What can be expected in the fut-
ure for this economically important
tree is at present a subject of study
by the Lake States Forest Expert
ment Station. twenty-five years
ago Prof. Hilbert Roth, until recent
ly Dean of Forestry, University of
Michigan, estimated that there were
then zoe, 200 acres of second-growth
white pine in Wisconsin. Since
then fires on cut-over land have con-
siderably retarded additions to this
area and have to some extent re
duced the original tracts.
Michigan and Minnesota probably
have each as much as Wisconsin, OF
more. While this second growth is
very open, the fact that the old
Forests yielding 5000 to 10000
I'D. #. an acre ranged only from IL
TO 100 trees to the acre indicates
that good yields may be expected
from the second growth stands, and
at considerably earlier ages than
those of old-growth areas.
Second-gr white pine in the
Northeast is now bringing an aver.

stump, and there is every evidence
that stumpage prices in the Great
