for this use. The lumber and other well-established 

 wood-using industries must be supplied with raw 

 materials and are constantly converting pole and 

 pile timber into other commodities. Also the 

 rapidly developing market for pulpwood may 



further increase the competition for pole trees. 



The saw-timber, cordwood, and cubic volumes of 

 these pole and pile trees are included in tables 11 

 to 15, and do not constitute an additional volume 

 item.

1 Round and turpentined longleaf and slash pines and loblolly pine. Poles and piles of saw-timber size are included in saw-timber volume and all 

 sizes in the cordwood and cubic-foot volumes. Material recorded here does not constitute additional volume. 



2 Measurements were based on diameters outside bark at 4H feet above ground; this is roughly equivalent to inside bark measurement at stump 

 height. 



Pulpwood 



Because of the growing interest in the use of 

 southern pines and soft-textured hardwoods for 

 kraft and other papers, and the increasing demand 

 for information concerning the timber resources in 

 this area, the total volume of all species generally 

 used for pulping is shown in cords in table 17 by 

 species groups and quality classes. The sound 

 trees are divided into two size classes to indicate the 



amount in large sizes which may have more 

 value for products other than pulpwood. These 

 volume estimates, which include all trees of pulping 

 species 5 inches d. b. h. and larger, regardless of 

 suitability for higher use, also are included in the 

 previous tables and are not to be considered as ad- 

 ditional volumes. Furthermore, not all of this ma- 

 terial is available for pulping at the present time: 

 much of it is in trees that are more valuable for saw 

 timber, poles, ties, or other products than for pulp-
