27,000,000 cubic feet; fencing, 30,000,000 cubic 

 feet; other items, 1,000,000,000 cubic feet. 

 The amount of cubic feet of standing timber 

 necessary to produce these quantities of usable 

 material is immensely greater, probably almost 

 double. The value of the annual products of 

 our forests was estimated by the census of 1890, 

 at $1,038,616,947. At the present rate of cutting, 



the forest land of the United States cannot long 

 meet the enormous demand made upon it. By 

 far the greater part of the white pine has been 

 cut, and vast inroads have been made into the 

 supply of other valuable timbers. In many 

 sections of the country more timber falls by 

 fire than by the axe. The average annual loss 

 from fire is not less than $20,000,000.
