Figure 6.—Location of primary wood-using plants in Florida, excluding sawmills, 1948. 
To a large extent, the pulp mills compete directly 
with the sawmills for the available supply of timber. 
All but a fifth of the pulpwood cut in 1948 was from 
trees of saw-timber size, i.e., pine trees 9.0 inches and 
larger, and half of it was from trees 11.0 inches and 
larger—the size of timber from which 90 percent of 
the sawlog volume is cut. 
An increasing number of tops formerly left in the 
woods following logging operations are being used 
for pulpwood; in 1948 tops accounted for 15 percent 
The Timber Supply Situation in Florida 
of the total pulpwood production. In Florida, virtual- 
ly all of the pulpwood is cut from pine. 
Timber Used for Other Wood Products 
Such products as fuel wood, fence posts, and farm 
timbers, which, for the most part, are cut on the 
farm for use by the farmer, constitute a very small 
drain on the forest. Although fuel wood accounted 
for 10 percent of the total volume cut for primary 
forest products in 1948, it accounted for less than
