FOREST, FISH AND GAME COMMISSION. 



lOI 



the entire forest would satisfy the market demand for Christmas trees. But under 

 the present methods entire areas are completely stripped of the young spruces and 

 balsams, thereby changing the future composition of the forest and converting it 

 into a hardwood stand of less valuable timber. 



I submit here in the following pages the tabulations in which may be found the 

 name and location of each mill that is stocked from the Adirondack and Catskill 

 forests, together Avith the output of each sawmill, and amount of timber consumed 

 by each pulpmill. I am aware that the figures may be dull and uninteresting to 

 many; at the same time they furnish in detail the more important facts relating to 

 an industry which is second to none in maintaining the industrial and commercial 

 supremacy of our State.
