AMERICAN FORESTRY 



At the annual meeting of the Canadian 

 Forestry Association and at a subsequent 

 meeting of the Directors a report for the 

 year showed the Association in good finan- 

 cial condition with a large increase in mem- 

 bership. Mr. C. E. E. Ussher, of the 

 Canadian Pacific Railway was elected 

 President and Mr. Dan McLachlin, of Arn- 

 prior, Ontario, Vice-President. The num- 

 ber of Directors was increased by ten. Mr. 

 Arthur Meighen, Minister of the Interior, 

 was chosen as one of the new ones. A 

 resolution was passed as follows : 



"Resolved, That the Canadian Forestry 

 Association desires to place itself on rec- 

 ords as heartily approving of the expressed 

 intention of the Government of Ontario to 

 bring its Department of Lands and For- 

 ests up to the highest possible state of 

 efficiency." 



A very interesting conference on the Fur 

 Industry of Canada, under the auspices 

 of the Commission of Conservation, was 

 held in the Windsor Hotel, Montreal, on 

 February 19 and 20. 



Forestry has lost a good friend in the 

 death of Dr. C. Gordon Hewitt, head of 

 the Department of Entomology in the Do- 

 minion Government. Dr. Hewitt was much 

 interested in the protection of wild life 

 and was one of Canada's representatives in 

 framing the migratory birds treaty. His 

 support of investigation work in forest 

 entomology has been of great value to the 

 whole subject of forest protection. 



AMERICAN LUMBER ASSOCIATION 



"FORMATION of the American Lumber 

 Association by leading wholesale lum- 

 ber dealers of the United States, and de- 

 clared to be the greatest lumber organiza- 

 tion in the world in scope, capital and busi- 

 ness represented, was effected in New Or- 

 leans early in March. The new association 

 began operations the latter part of the 

 month, with headquarters in Chicago. Its 

 membership comprises wholesale lumber 

 dealers in all important American cities, 

 with selling connections in all parts of the 

 world. L. Germain, Jr., head of a large 

 concern that bears his name in Pittsburgh, 

 Pennsylvania, has been selected as president 

 of the American Lumber Association, and 

 L. R. Putnam, of New Orleans, who resigns 

 as director of advertising and trade exten- 

 sion for the Southern Pine Association, has 

 been appointed manager. Mr. Germain also 

 is president of the National Bureau of 

 Wholesale Lumber Distributors, which 

 was formed to serve the lumber needs of 

 the United States Government during the 

 war. According to Mr. Putnam, who made 

 the announcement of the formation of the 

 wholesalers' association, the same style of 

 organization that handled the lumber sit- 

 uation for Uncle Sam during the war in 

 the new association is enlarged in scope to 

 meet the demands of world trade and to 

 give the lumber consumer the same benefits 

 that were enjoyed by the Govrnment in 

 war times. 



NEWSPRINT PAPER AND PULP 

 WOOD 



r THE Department of Agriculture prepared 

 information on newsprint paper and 

 pulp wood for the Senate Committee on 

 Agriculture and Forestry, and from it the 

 following statements have been culled : 



The use of pulp wood in the manufacture 

 of newsprint paper has been developed only 

 in the last 50 years. 



Of all the paper used in the United States 

 22 per cent is used by the newspapers. 



Before the war newsprint paper sold for 

 about 2 cents a pound ; now it sells in large 

 quantities for 5 cents a pound and in small 

 quantities up to 10 cents a pound. 



In the last 20 years the use of newsprint 

 has increased more than 200 per cent, while 

 in the same period the population has in- 

 creased 70 per cent. 



Demand for newsprint will increase, in- 

 stead of decreasing, in the future. 



Dependence upon foreign supplies of 

 pulp wood for newsprint means we will be 

 at the mercy of foreign manufacturers as 

 to prices. All exports of pulp wood from 

 Newfoundland have been prohibited. 



AH exports from Crown lands in Canada 

 have been prohibited. 



Ten years ago the United States pro- 

 duced its entire newsprint supply ; now we 

 import two-thirds of it. Only one-third of 

 the newspapers issued in 1919 were printed 

 on the product of American forests. 



Only one newsprint plant has been con- 

 structed in the United States since 1909. 



Most of the pulp wood for newsprint is 

 secured from New England and the Lake 

 States. Spruce is used for more than half 

 of it. 



High cost of pulp and paper mills pre- 

 vent manufacturing plants from following 

 the timber as do saw mills. 



Much pulp wood has now to be freighted 

 500 miles to the mills. 



We bought nearly 1,400,000 tons of pulp 

 wood from Canada in 1918, and prices ad- 

 vanced from $10 a cord to as high as $2"> 



Canada has increased her pulp mills 57 

 per cent in the last 10 years. 



Indications are that supplies of pulp 

 wood timber in New England and New 

 York will be exhausted in 20 years. In New 

 York alone supplies will be gone in 10 years. 



In these sections the annual cut is about 

 three times the annual growth. 



There has been practically no develop- 

 ment of the paper-making industry in 

 Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, where 

 our remaining timber supplies suitable for 

 pulp wood are located. 



At the present rate of cutting in Canada 

 the supply in her Eastern provinces will 

 be exhausted in 25 years. 



Relief may be had by: 



Developing the industry in the North- 

 west and in Alaska. 



By perpetuating forests in the East and 

 reproducing pulp wood timber in them. 



Possibly by the collection and repulping 

 of newspaper and its re-use by mixing with 

 it new pulp.
