UNITED STATES CONSUMES
l85 BOARD FEET PER CAPITA

The L. S. consumption of lumber
amounts to about 1S5 board feet per
capita. The region east of the Miss
issippi and north of the Ohio con-
sumes one-third of the entire lum-
Der production. Three-fourths of
this regions requirements come
from the South and the Pacific
Northwest.
Nine hundred and forty-six acres
escaped injury for every one
damaged By fire in 1888 within the
los National Forests of the S. This
damage is one-third less than the
average for the last five-year period.
Better organization, improvement in
fire fighting equipment. and the
presence of the CCC forces is given
credit by the Forest Service for the
smaller losses of recent years.

that bear has taken up its abode

say they saw the last named bear
few days ago, standing upon it's
hind legs and looking at them
while it ficked flies from its ears.
Bears evidently find this section to
