Various kinds of wood are made into as many 

 different kinds of paper. Printing and packing 

 papers and pasteboard are made from pine; pop- 

 lar is made into fine white papers for books and 



magazines; hemlock, spruce, and balsam supply 

 most of the coarse paper on which the newspapers 

 are printed. All the spruce trees that grow on 

 five acres of forest land are required to make the 

 paper for printing one day's issue of a large 

 city newspaper.
