AMERICAN FORESTRY 



477 



lands is estimated at approximately 6 bil- 

 lion feet, and on National Forest land at 

 750 million feet. District Forester 

 George H. Cecil, of Portland, Oregon, 

 who was an interested spectator from the 

 "hurricane deck" of one of the planes, re- 

 ports that the wind-thrown areas are very 

 spotty in some places practically all the 

 trees being down, while in others but little 

 damage resulted from the wind. Only a 

 small amount of the down timber, it is 

 said, can be salvaged, because of the lack 

 of transportation facilities. 



Should fire gain headway in this de- 

 vastated region, forestry experts say that 

 the most stupendous conflagration ever 

 known in America would result. Special 

 appropriations have been passed by the 

 Federal and State Government? to meet 

 this emergency, and strict measures will 

 be taken to prevent fires starting from hu- 

 man agencies.

NEW YORK LUMBER CUT 

 DOUBLED IN VALUE. 



New York cut 411,000,000 feet of lumber 

 in 1920, valued at $20,000,000, or nearly 

 double the value of the 1918 cut. This re- 

 markable increase was due primarily to 

 the great post-war increase in lumber 

 prices, which reached its peak in March, 

 1920, together with the fact that the quanti- 

 ty of lumber sawed increased 25 per cent 

 in two years. The number of mills cut- 

 ting 50,000 feet or more increased from 

 1,023 to 1,206 in the same period. The 

 average valuation f. o. b. mill of the lum- 

 ber cut was $48 per M feet the highest 

 point on record. 



These figures are based upon a prelimi- 

 nary statement of the Forest Service 

 United States Department of Agriculture, 

 cooperating with the Bureau of the Censu;, 

 United States Department of Commerce, 

 and with the State of New York, in the 

 census of lumber production in 1920.
