All countries suffer in a similar manner. 



In connection with the rise of paper prices, the value of timber 

 limits in Canada has also improved 100 per cent. In Quebec due 

 to scarcity of labor the pulpwood cut is said to be reduced 50 per 

 cent. 



The Germans have learned to make a textile fabric from paper 

 with 20 per cent cotton, made into clothes. In ordinary times this 

 would be too expensive to allow competition with the real woolen 

 and cotton articles. 



It is estimated that there is enough waste from the sawmills 

 of the Southern States alone to produce 20,000 tons of paper a day. 



The Canadian Northern Railway is reported to have completed 

 a survey of the pulpwood and other resources along its line between 

 Ottawa and Port Arthur, Ontario. The survey estimates that 

 there are over 8,000,000 cords of pulpwood, and 25,000,000 ties 

 available mainly within the area from which it can select the land 

 grant given by the Province of Ontario in aid of the building of the 



line. 



What extent of area is involved in this estimate is not divulged, 

 but from private information it would appear that the total 

 acreage will not yield more than three cords on the average, and 

 five cords per acre if the Jack pine lands are excluded; but under 

 fire conditions and transportation development, as they exist 

 today, and due to inaccessibility, on account of topography, 

 two fifths of the apparent supply may remain unavailable, 

 leaving an average cut on the ptdp lands of only three cords per 

 acre. 



The Riordan Pulp and Paper Company are making plans for 

 beginning forest planting on cut-over portions of their timber 

 limits in the Province of Quebec. Arrangements have already 

 been made for planting out about 400,000 seedlings of forest species
