INDIA'S GREAT FORESTS 



The hill forests of the United Provinces and the Punjab in India hold very extensive 

 stores of spruce with which is associated the well-known silver fir. Both these species yield 

 timber somewhat similar to the European deal, which is used for planking, tea boxes, 

 packing cases, and shingles. If creosoted the timber should be suitable for railway sleepers. 

 It would yield enormous quantities of cheap planking, and there is little doubt that the 

 wood botli of the Himalayan spruce and silver fir would be excellent for the manufacture of 

 matches and for paper pulp. The trees grow to a very large size, with a girth of 20 feet, 

 and a height of 200 feet is by no means uncommon. 



AUSTRALIA'S IMPORTATIONS 



During 1911 Australia imported from the United States timber valued at $13,850,000, 

 compared with $10,470,000 during 1910. During the earlier year that country exported tim- 

 ber valued at $4,840,000, compared with $5,105,000 during 1911. Of the forest products im- 

 ported during 1911 wood and manufacturers of wood imported from the United States 

 amounted to '$9,658,282, compared with $8,786,580 in 1910.
