In one year, what must be the destruc
tion of tree on paper account In all
KurnpeT In Bweden. Austria nd Ger
many, th region of greatest supply ot
wood pulp. It ts a question s to how to
continue annual cuttings without ex
hausting th timber. In thl country a
Ilk process Is going nn. There teems to

a few year will becom aa Important
a that for lumber, particularly tn lo
calities where there i a large growth
ot spruce, aspen leaf poplar, or any other
wood adapted to pulp making. 8u.-h
