Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Public and Economic Aspects of the Lumber Industry, Vol. 1: Studies of the Lumber Industry These resources have been put to use through an industry which in energy, rapid development, and mechanical efficiency has cut stripped that of any other country. The forests of other nations, like Russia, are comparable in extent, but have never attained a like economic value because no comparable industries have grown up to use them. The importance of our forests and forest industries gave general support to a national policy of conservation a few years ago when it was realized that the timber supply was being rapidly used up. Hitherto this policy has dealt directly with but a portion of the forest lands in public ownership. The much vaster areas privately owned it has reached only through educational work in forestry and the impetus given to the protection of timberlands from fire. It has touched conditions in the forest-using industries only through research in their methods and processes. There has been, however, an unquestioned response to the conservation movement by the forest industries in better protection of timberlands and closer use of their raw material. The last six or seven years have brought better knowledge of the timber resources of the United States, better information about their renewal, better insight into the strength and weakness of the forest using industries. These years have shown particularly how forest conservation is affected by economic conditions in the manufactures whose raw material is wood. Demoralized lumber markets affect the value of timber, the stability of its ownership, the degree to which it is wasted in exploitation, and the possibility of carrying out any far-sighted plan of forest renewal. The character of timber owner ship, on the other hand, reacts upon lumber production; hence upon the manufacturer, distributor, and consumer. The interests of the public, locally and nationally, are touched at many of these points. These industrial conditions, with their reaction upon the forests, have raised a question as to whether the public forest policy of the United States goes far enough. Particularly does better understand ing of the conditions in the timber-using industries and their effect upon forestry and forest use seem desirable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from People and Timber: A Review of America's Timber One of the principal reasons for the great expansion isthe sharp increase in our population. Our death rate has declined, our birth rate has zoomed. Ten years ago we had 140 million citizens; today we have over 160 million. Our population has doubled since 1900. Our Nation may have about 210 million people in 1975. And in the year 2000 - about 275 million. Our inherited abundance of timber is a major factor in the growth of our dynamic economy. Timber products account for about one - fourth of all the raw materials We use in manufacturing and building. More than 12 billion cubic feet of timber products are consumed yearly: Saw logs for lumber, pulpwood for paper, fuelwood, posts, poles, piling, and other logs and bolts from which products such as veneer and cooperage are made. The average American uses about 80 cubic feet of wood per year. Lumber is used in greater amounts than any other industrial timber product. Each one of us uses twice as much lumber as a Russian, four times as much as an Englishman, and six times as much as a Frenchman. Our use of paper, too, far exceeds that of any other country.

This book was released on 2018-01-14 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Lumber Industry of America, Vol. 2 The first volume of this work was devoted to certain general subjects and to eastern Canada; this volume takes up the history of, the lumber industry of the United States in detail. An appropriate beginning is found in connection with white pine. It is possible that the first trees cut on American soil by white men were yellow pine; and during certain periods the southern wood, perhaps, contributed more largely to the export trade of the colonies and of the United States than did white pine; but the latter was earlier the basis for an industry of magnitude, and, until the close of the Nineteenth Century, furnished more than any other one species, or more than any group of related species, to the internal commerce of the country. While the southern pines were and are famous in the export trade, they supplied at home, until within a generation, hardly more than a local requirement; whereas white pine was in demand almost everywhere throughout the continent and sold in large quantities, not only in the states in which it grew but even in states which were abundantly supplied with pines of their own growth, and, furthermore, it furnished the chief building and finishing material necessary in the development of the great prairie regions west of the Mississippi River. It was the white pine that of all the timber resources of the North American continent first attracted the attention of explorers, and it was the white pine that was first the subject of Royal or legislative enactment. This volume of the History of the Lumber Industry of America is, therefore, devoted very largely to the history of the white pine industry. This history is appropriately considered in its geographical relationships, and, for the sake of convenience, a beginning is made with the white pine State farthest east - a Commonwealth known for generations as the Pine Tree State, although for more than a half century pine has been second to spruce in volume of product. Beginning with Maine, the other New Eng land states appropriately come after and then the white pine belt rs followed across New York and Pennsylvania.

Further substitutions of metal for wooden cooperage, lath, vehicle parts, wood used in ship construction, and wooden furniture and interior house trimming bring the total annual replacement to approximately 11,074,500,000 board feet of timber. It is probable that not less than 8,092,200,000 feet of this amount is in the form of lumber, or the equivalent of 20 per cent of the lumber cut in the United States estimated for 1914. 1 Based upon official statistics of the consumption of lumber and timbers, including Imports, converted from cubic feet to board feet in the ratio of 1 to 8. Fuel and other secondary products are not included. CHANGES IN LUMBER PRODUCTION AND PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION. This figure, while conservative, can not be given too much weight because of the many uncertain factors in such an estimate. There can be no question, however, that lumber has lost heavily in the markets of the United States within the past 10 years. This is made evident further by decreases both in total lumber production and in its consumption per capita. The following table gives from 1904 to 1915, inclusive, the reported cut of lumber and the number of mills from which returns were obtained, the total estimated cut of lumber, the imports and exports of lumber, and the net estimated consumption in the country per capita: i These figures exclude staves, heading, shingles, lath, shoots other than box, logs, and hewn timbers. They include 20 per cent of the railroad ties exported, this being the proportion of sawed ties used in the United States; also the imports and exports of lumber reported by value rather than quantity. These have been converted to footage by using the average values of the imports and exports, respectively, ..

This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lumber Industry and Its Workers In Agriculture the farmer must have lumber to build his dwelling house, barn, granaries, silos, etc. To fence his fields he must have wooden posts; often the entire fence is made of wood. He picks his fruit from a wooden ladder, packs it in wooden boxes, with wood pulp paper, and hauls it to the railroad in a wooden wagon. Wood forms a part of all agricultural tools, implements and machinery. Late statistics show that the present demand for wood for farm implements exceeds feet a year, and if the wood that goes into agricultural hand tools were added the total would probably exceed feet. In the Mining Industry wood is used to timber the mines to prevent them from caving in. Wooden ties support the tracks in and around the mines. Wooden cars transport the coal or ore from the working to the shaft. Shaft houses and other build ings around the mines are built wholly or partly of lumber. In coal mining, timber forms the principal part of tipples, washers, etc. Wood forms part of some of the mining tools and machin ery. Without lumber it would be practically impossible to carry on mining. In the Construction Industry lumber is one of the principal raw materials. Even when the main part of a building is of some other material (such as brick, stone, steel or concrete) lumber is used for floors, ceilings, laths, window frames, doors, and in many other ways. On buildings lumber is used for stag ing. On concrete work to construct the forms, and for temporary supports. On railroad and general construction work timber is used for bridge building, for culverts, for piling, railroad ties, etc. Wood forms an important part of the machinery of con struction, such as derricks, steam shovels, dump cars and the like. Most of the tools used in this industry are part wood. Lumber is used to build the camps which shelter the men and animals employed. If the supply of lumber were cut off it would only be a short time before the entire building industry would be forced to shut down. The Transportation Industry is literally supported by wood. The miles of railroad track in the United States rest on wooden ties. It is estimated that the railroad and electric lines of the country use approximately one hundred and twenty mill ion ties every year. The vast network of telegraph and tele phone wires that covers the country is upheld by wooden poles. By far the greater part of the rolling stock is built of lumber.
