Hardwood Yard Sizes 



The size of a hardwood lumber yard or rather the quantity of tlie 

 lumber carried thereon is often determined more by the circumstance 

 of market conditions than by logical reasoning on what constitutes 

 the ideal in the way of size and assortment of lumber yard stock. 

 For about a year now the problem has been one largely of striving 

 to reduce stocks because of a lessened demand that put the consump- 

 tion below the producing supply. 



By and by perhaps about the time stock in the liardwood yards 

 throughout the country is reduced to a comparatively low mark there 

 may come an end to the war and a general revival of business that 

 will cause some of the hardwood people to wish they had kept their 

 yards more liberally stocked instead of striving to clean off and 

 realize on stuff carried. 



The lumber stock carried in hardwood yards represents a pretty 

 hea\-y burden of capital, overshadowing the capital investment of 

 the milling equipment, and the question often arises: how much cap- 

 ital ought to be kept tied up or invested in yard stock? This ques- 

 tion was put to an extensive hardwood operator who, after thinking 

 over the matter, ventured the opinion that 2,000,000 feet constituted 

 a fair stock for an active hardwood business of considerable magni- 

 tude. At that time, however, he admitted that he was carrying some- 

 thing like 4,000,000 feet but was striving to sell out and reduce to 

 about 2,000,000. 



Occasionally one finds a hardwood mill, cutting largely timbers 

 and special dimension stock, that carries a very small supply of 

 manufactured material on the yard, though there may be a liberal 

 supply of logs. The big stocks seem to be carried by those hard- 

 wood mills making largely boards and planks, lumber that goes into 

 manufacturing, into furniture factories and planing mills and to other 

 consumers who further manufacture the hardwood. Enough stock 



to have an assortment and be able to fill orders promptly is essential 

 and in general practice stock must be much larger because it must 

 stand on the yard and dry for a considerable period before market- 

 ing. This raises another question, that of how much hardwood yard 

 sizes could be reduced and the burden of capital tied up in the lum- 

 ber stock lessened by a more common use of dry kilns on the part 

 of hardwood millinen. 



Among the yellow pine mills where dry kilns are prevalent one 

 still finds immense stocks of lumber on the yards. Comparing the 

 quantity manufactured and marketed, the yellow pine mills as a rule 

 do not carry so much stock as the hardwood mills. The large factors 

 among the yellow pine mills produce enormous quantities and in this 

 great production there is little more than framing and low grade 

 going into piles on the yard. The high-grade stock goes right into 

 the kiln and is worked out for shipment in a very short time after 

 being cut. If the hardwood millmen kiln-dried promptly as great a 

 percentage of their lumber as the yellow pine mills the amount of 

 lumber necessary to properly stock a hardwood yard would be re- 

 duced more than half and it would certainly lighten the burden of 

 capital invested in the industry, besides increasing the service factor, 

 which is of growing importance in its influence on sales. ' 



A good assortment of dry stock is an excellent thing for a hard- 

 wood man to have on hand in his yard and there probably is com- 

 ing a time when those who have held large stocks rather than 

 sacrifice the price and clean out their yards will be glad of it and 

 reap a benefit. This, however, does not entirely answer the ques- 

 tion of what constitutes the ideal in the way of size and assortment 

 in the hardwood yard, neither does it alter the fact that hardwood 

 yard sizes might be materially reduced by a more extensive use of 

 drv kilns.
