PULPWOOD STATES SHOW IN- 

 CREASED PRODUCTION 

 T> ULPWOOD consumption by mills in 

 New York, New England, and the 

 Lake States was 17.7 per cent greater in 

 1920 thaii in 1918, according to incomplete 

 returns received by the Forest Service, 

 United States Department of Agriculture. 

 The estimate is based upon a comparison 

 of the output of 118 identical mills, rep- 

 resenting about 41 per cent of the total 

 consumption in these States. Should this 

 percentage of increase hold true for the re- 

 maining mills, the total consumption for the 

 past year would equal 6,180,000 cords, and 

 exceed the previous maximum of 1917 by 

 700.000 cords, or nearly 13 per cent. 



The production of 1.553,978 tons of wood 

 pulp reported by the 118 mills exceeded the 

 1918 production by 17.5 per cent, and in- 

 dicates a 1920 output of approximately 

 3.894,000 tons, which would exceed the 

 1917 record production by 384,000 tons or 

 10.9 per cent. 



This is the first preliminary statement by 

 the Forest Service in connection with the 

 study of pulpwood consumption now be- 

 ing carried on in co-operation with the 

 American Paper and Pulp Association and 

 the Census Bureau. 



CONFERENCE OF WOOD-USERS 



TJEPRESEXTATIVES of the leading 

 wood-using industries in Pennsylvania 

 will be invited by Governor Sproul to at- 

 tend a conference in Harrisburg on April 

 13 and 14. They will be called together to 

 discuss the present timber supply and to 

 consider probable sources of future sup- 

 plies. It will be the first meeting ever held 

 by Pennsylvania business men who must 

 depend largely upon forest products for 

 the continuation of their industries. 



Gifford Pinchot, the State's Chief For- 

 ester, is working with Governor Sproul in 

 preparing the preliminary plans for the 

 meeting. It is expected that between 250 

 and 300 industries that use wood will be 

 represented. During the two-day sessions 

 it is planned to bring out reliable figures 

 on the outlook for timber and its allied 

 products in Pennsylvania. It is believed 

 by Forester Pinchot that facts will be pre-
