Timber Supply Outlook 



Page 



Introduction 475 



Growth capacity much higher than current growth. 476 

 Timber growth and inventory needed to sustain 



projected demands 477 



Timber cut accounts for most of timber removal. 477 



Timber removal rises sharply 478 



Needed growth much larger than growth in 1952. 480 



Medium projections 480 



Lower projections 481 



Needed growth and timber removal unbalanced 



by species group 482 



Adjustments of inventory essential 483 



High-quality timber will still be needed 484 



Growth and inventory expected if projected de- 

 mands are met and forestry trends continue 485

 Growth and inventory expected, etc. — Continued 



Projected growth compared to 1952 growth 486 



Growth declines under medium level demands 



after 1975 486 



Lower level demand results in growth in- 

 crease 487 



Needed growth compared to projected growth 487 



Medium level projected growth far short of 



needed growth 487 



Lower level demands can be sustained for 



some time 489 



Sustained removal falls below lower level de- 

 mands 491 



Inventories remain unbalanced 491 



Expected trends in quality 494
