3,000 LUMBER MILLS MEET CUT-OUT FORESTS 



Col. Henry) S. Craves, Chief Forester of the United States. 



Many people are deluding themselves with 

 the idea that we do not need to concern our- 

 selves with regard to forests because of large 

 virgin supplies which still exist in the Pacific 

 Northwest, the Inland Empire, and California. 

 I have even heard it suggested that if we should 

 use up or destroy all of the forests in the 

 United States, there are very considerable quan- 

 tities of wood supplies in the great river valleys 

 of Brazil and other South American countries. 



Leaders of the southern pine manufacturers 

 state that the bulk of the original supplies of 

 yellow pine in the South will be exhausted in 

 ten years and that within the next five to seven 



m'-r? than 3,000 manufacturing plants will so 

 out of existence. This is an exceedin<fly sig- 

 nificant statement, because it means that the 

 centre of the lumber production of the United 

 States will within no long time move to the 

 Pacific Coast. While it does not mean that 

 there will be an actual exhaustion of all the 

 timber in the South, it does mean that the com- 

 petitive influence of southern pine in many 

 markets will be withdrawn and that there will 

 be the increase of prices that inevitably must 

 follow such an important economic occurrence 

 as the shift of the centre of supply of a raw 

 material one to three thousand miles.

 Forestry Journal. Each member designated "Contributing", subscribes five dollars to help 

 spread the forest conservation propaganda. We hope to publish another substantial list 

 in the May number:
