4 ' The present' building program requiring a great: volume
of lumber calls attention to the rapidly diniinishing reserves
of timberJ -
- LessHthan one-third of the original wood and timber
supply of! the United States remains. Originally half of "the
land areaj was forested. : The timber stand was estimated
conservatively at 5200 billion board feet. Now there remains
Jess than! 1600 billion feet and this supply is being consumed
at the raU of about 25 billion feet annually while the present
annual growth of timber'is only.6-. billion feet.v . ,s
1 , ; In early days when wood was so abundant as to be in the
"way of pt)gress, trees which would now be very valuable for
lumber y ere burned in order to expedite the clearing of land.
This was especially true of the hardwoods including the oak
- and maple of the northern Mississippi valley states. But that
condition passed and for several years the same woods used
-in furniture and for flooring has sold "for almost fabulous
prices. ; However, for many years following pioneer days in
. : t he various "sections of the country the source of wood supply
remained close to the market. 'Z ; u Ac
N ' During recent years one of the most difficult problems
Connected with the uses of lumber and wood has been the
great distances between the sources of supply and the chief
s retail sale points. -And as a consequence of these distances
transporjtatiolf costs have increased until the prices of lumber
- have become a real burden. , ),
r ! For several years during the war and since the consump
' tion of timber products has been reduced. And now cement,
and other composite materials are being increasingly employ
ed in building construction. ' . .(. , ... V. .
The increase of over 200 per cent during the seven years
' preceding 1 1920 played an important part in reducing the
amount of lumber used during those years.And since 1921,
there has been slight increase in consumption of this building
commodity although last year the price was 84 per cent above
the pre-war level. ; X At -Wf'VVi f "X-v Sp''4ii r
Although the future consumption of lumber may con
tinue to be curtailed on account of the high price and the use
of substitutes the rate of consumption will no doubt continue,
3 at rrcrcnt, much higher than the growth of a new supply.
