B 315 — Kegarding Standing Merchantable 

 Hardwood Timber 



Knoxville, Tenn., Sept. 2G. — Editor Hardwood 

 Record : A lumberman of this city gave me 

 your name as one who could tell me authorita- 

 tively the per cent of merchantable hardwood 

 timber contained in the Appalachian section in 

 this territor.v, in comparison to all hardwood 

 timber now standing. 



If you have any information along this line 

 in the way of statistics, I would appreciate a 

 prompt answer, as I am to read a paper in New 

 York next month speaking of the resources of our 

 mountain territory and this is an important fact 

 for me to obtain. . 



The above correspondent has been advised 

 the query presented regarding the percentage 

 of merchantable hardwood timber contained 

 in the Appalachian region as compared with 

 the total hardwoods now standing in the 

 United States is absolutely an unknown quan- 

 tity, and there is no way of arriving at tho 

 facts from information available. 



However, as a guess, should estimate that 

 the lower Allegheny, Blue Ridge and Southern 

 Appalachian hardwood timber area constitutes 

 approximately twenty-five per cent of the total 

 stand of the United States. This may vary 

 five or even ten per cent one way or the other, 

 but would warrant it as good a guess as any- 

 thing we have in the way of statistics. — ■
