POLES AND PILINGS 



The manufacture of poles and piling is more dependent on 

 a well integrated forest industry than is the production of 

 the other major uses of our forests resources. Telephone 

 poles can be obtained only from straight trees meeting the 

 certain standards as to top and bottom diameters. A manu- 

 facturer cf lumber or plywood can use pole type trees. A 

 pulp and paper manufacturer can also produce a lower valued 

 product from these high valued trees. For this reason there 

 should be a good interchange of logs that will direct the 

 higher valued trees into pole products and at the same time 

 provide an outlet and proper utilization of the lower valued 

 materials.
