consumption of lumbar.
It is true that the war-demand for
quality lumber is greatly in excess
of normal. But this is off-set to a
considerable extent by advances in
wood-using technology so that the net
forest drain remains about the same.
However, (it must be admitted that the

for building purposes out of waste
lumber.
As the statistics show that heaviest
inroads upon American forests have
occurred when farm and home build

industry can confidently look forward
to a very strong post-war demand
when the pent-up domestic building
program is allowed to assert itself.
