f TIMBER EXHAUSTION I
4 1 ; ; .
(By' Calvin Coolldgo, President
the United States) -
' We do not know the forest situ
ation down to the last aero and
board toot, but we know It woll
enough to make us think and act.
Of the old forest the first explor
ers met we have In area only one-
sixth left nod In bulk ot timber less
Man one-third. From overcuttlng
and tire we have left on our hands
something like 80 million arras
o denuded torest land, most ot It
unfit lor farming. Then we have
about 250 million acres of second
growth forest, much of It poor In
quality and amount. Three fourths
of ourcut Is still from virgin for
ests, difficult and distant ot access,
so that their products must ply tor
long frel&Jf haul'i to reach the
chief markers.
Expressed roughly, we havo loft
745 billion cubic feet ot timber.
From this the annual drain is 25
bililen cubic feet. This total drain
is most significant when we reflect
that, toward offsetting It, we have
an annual timber growth of nly 6
Billion cubic feetritnd oven in our
young forests,, where this growth Is
taking pia.'o, cutting, has already
outstripped growth."' We must face
the situation that at this rate we
are not far from timber exhaustion.
FROZEN LOGS TEND
TO SLOW UP WORK
Pelican Bay .Lumber company's
sawmill lost one day shift and two
night shifts early ' last' woek,; chief
ly due to the logs' which began

saws in better condition to attack
