TIMBER RESOURCES FOR AMERICA'S FUTURE 



estimates for 2000 are 5,863 million board-feet 

 or 6,707 million — depending on level of popula- 

 tion. 



The foregoing figures, of course, contain no 

 adjustments for the expected trend in substitu- 

 tion of other timber products for lumber. With 

 allowances of 5 percent for such displacement in 

 1952, about 15 percent displacement bj^ 1975, 

 and 20 percent displacement by 2000, the esti- 



mates of lumber use in the manufacture of non- 

 furniture products (assuming no cliange in lum- 

 ber's real price) are as follows:
