LUMBER ACTIVITY
66 PCT. Of 1929
1884 Report Shows Fewer
Hours per Man at Bet
ter Wages.

In 1884 the lumber and timber
products industry. including sawmills,
logging camps, veneer mills and plan
ing mills and box plants operated in
connection with SaWmillS, employed 66
per cent as many Wage-earners as in
1929. Each one worked 40 per cent
fewer hours in 1884 than in 1929 but
received a S to 10 per cent higher
hourly wage; the total of wages paid
? amounted to ass per cent of that paid
In 1929
These comparisons are made by the
statistical department of the National
Lumber Manufacturers Association
from 1884 monthly employment re-
ports received under the lumber code
and those for 1929 of the United States
Census Bureau.
In the saWmills comparison may be
made in hours and hourly wages be-
tween 1884 and 1923 when the Bureau
of Labor Statistics made one of its
special bi-yearly surveys. Average
hours worked monthly by wage earners
in 1884 were 1855; in 1928, weekly
hours were 531. Converting the latter
to a monthly basis, the 1884 hours
were GOT per cent of those recorded
for 1928, but hourly wages in 1884
were nearly 10 per cent of these paid
in 1928
Planning Mills Less Busy.
In the independent planning mills
number of employees was about "A per
cent that in 1929 compared with sc
per cent in sawmills. Average hourly
wages were 43.87 cents in planning mills
in 1884 As compared with 1852 cents
in sawmills, 3425 cents in box plants
ard 4O.l8 cents in the combined
groups.
The number of employees in box
plants in 1884 was 80 per cent of
what it was in 1929 Output did not
fall off so much from 1929 in box fac
tories as in lumber mills and the
hours worked per week were as much,
If not more reduced.
Average hours per month in lumber
divisions ranged from III and 100
in Northern mills, due largely to Win
ter logging totals, to 1l6 in Southern
hardwood mills and 1l2 in North Gen.
trail hardwood. Average hourly wages
ranged from 6032 cents in the West
Coast logging camps and 54.92 and
5378 cents in West Coast and Western
pine mills, to 1855 cents in Southern
Cypress and 1885 in Southern pine
establishments.
Total Output Estimated.
Estimated total production of lum-
ber in 1884 was 1928. 100000 feet or
Ala per cent of what it was in 1929,
shipments we're 421 per cent of the
estimated 1929 total and stocks on
hand at the close of 1884 we're 1922
100000 feet or 60.6 per cent of the
amount at the mills at the close of
1929. A considerable portion of the
1894 inventories were made up of
items. slow-moving because of con-
tinued low building demand
The average value of lumber at the
mills during 1884 was approximately
s2217 per thousand feet. This was
1878 per cent of S26.94. the average
value per thousand feet; but the small
production resulted in total value of
only s338, ,381 900 in 1884; or "a per
cert of that of 1929, which was $685.
100000. Exports in 1884 of 1886, ,000,-
200 feet of lumber and sawed timber
were 432 per cent of the volume ex-
/ ported in 1929. but lumber imports
exclusive of cabinet wood totaled
only 265 100000 feet in 1884, or 17.6

Gardeners and home owners who
have experienced disffculty in Sc
curing a stand of grass in certain
sections of their lawns under certain
kavy shade trees. such as the silver
maple, are advised to use red fesque
grass, as it has been found to do espe-
cially well under such adverse con-
ditions, according to Walter r. Bal
lard. horticulturist for the University
of Maryland extension service.
He says that while commercial
stocks of red fesque sometimes vary
in purity of strain, giving variation
in foliage color and habit of growth,
investigation has shown that it is pos
sible to select types especially well
adapted to lawn use. This particular
strain of grass has the virtue of being

HOUSING SITUATION HELD
ACUTE IN BIRMINGHAM
Doubling-Up Process Is Feared
Likely to Repeat if New Homes
Are Not Built.

Reports from Birmingham, Ala,
state that the housing shortage in
the city is becoming so acute that
unless housing program is started
shortly the present list of dwellings fit
for occupancy will be exhausted and
the doubling-up process. which was
so marked during the height of the
depression, will be repeated.
Rental agents say they are unI BILE
to supply the demand for houses. In
several instances occupants of dwell
ings sold to other persons have Of

if allowed to remain after weeks of

essential to best results from the
grass, according to Mr.. Ballard. Hence,
it may be necessary, especially if the

better to grow stand of the grass
in the garden or in a nearby field and
later transfer well-developed sod to
the exposed areas.

seeding in the Fall of the year. so that
the young grass will not be subjected
to the withering effect of long, hot
and dry Summer. says Mr.. Ballard.
