Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wood-Using Industries of Connecticut Connecticut is one of the most densely populated states of the Union. Its square miles are occupied by over a million inhabitants. A very large percentage of its people reside within two score manufacturing centers and depend directly upon indus trial employment for a livelihood. The various industries include nearly factories, with an invested capital of more than a third of a billion dollars, an annual output worth a like sum, and a payroll of some millions. A considerable number of these factories convert the raw material of the forest into finished products. The report of the lumber cut of the United States in 1910, prepared by the Bureau of the Census in coopera tion with the Forest Service, United States Department of Agri culture, shows that the Connecticut sawmills cut over board feet in that year. Part of the lumber made'in the State is shipped away, and of the total domestic consumption probably one-fourth IS utilized In rough lumber and In general construction. The total consumed by the Connecticut wood -using industries in 1910, including lumber purchased from other states, amounted to 110 feet. The amount of wood taken from the forests in forms other than lumber has been only roughly estimated, but the quantity of lumber annually milled in Connecticut has been determined for some years. This is the first attempt to follow the lumber from the sawmill through the factories. The information here presented shows the relations between the wood - using industries of Connecticut and her forests. It also shows to what extent the State's native resources are drawn upon to meet home requirements, and to what extent manufacturers draw from outside. This report is intended to answer the question of what becomes Of the seventy-two or seventy-three million feet of rough lum ber that are used each year in Connecticut's wood - using factories. It also discusses properties of the various woods that fit them for use in certain industries and the products made from these woods. It gives the average cost of lumber delivered at the factory, both home - grown and shipped - in material. The prices given, it must be remembered, are not market prices, but are merely an average computed from many different grades and forms of each kind of wood reported.

Download or read book The Timber Supply of the United States Classic Reprint written by R. S. Kellogg and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Timber Supply of the United States The total quantity of wood cut to obtain the products listed in the table was not less than 20 billion cubic feet. Rapidly-as the population of the United States has increased, the lumber consumption has increased still more rapidly. In round num bers, and allowing for incomplete reports, the lumber cut in 1880 was 18 billion feet; in 1890, 24 billion feet, and in 1900, 35 billion feet. The increase in population from 1880 to 1900 was 52 per cent, but in lumber cut 94 pei cent. The United States is now using annually 400 board feet of lumber per capita while the average for Europe is but 60 feet per capita. Table 2 affords a better understanding of the vast amount of lumber used. This gives the lumber cut of the principal States since 1880. The figures for 1880, 1890, 1900, and 1905 are those compiled by the census; the total cut is estimated by assuming an average out between census dates. This brings the total cut since 1880 to more than 7 00 billion feet - a truly astonishing figure when we stop to consider it. This quantity of lumber would make a floor 1 inch thick over Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Delaware, or an area of square miles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Woodcut The wood selected for the block should be of a consistent thickness. It should be soft enough to be cut with reason able ease by the gouges, yet hard enough so that it will not crumble. The wood that is most commonly used is - inch thick pine plank. This should be top grade lumber, kiln dried, and without knots. A wide range of widths is available, and lengths can be cut as desired. The scrap heap in a lumber yard is a good source of supply. Poplar, apple, bass, and cherry can be used, each of which varies in hardness and closeness of grain. Plywood, which comes in a number of different finishes, has become increasingly popular for use as wood block. It should be of -inch thickness. Different woods are used to obtain particular grain texture effects. Experimentation with a variety of woods will determine which one is best for a given project and for the individual artist.

Download or read book A Survey of Diseases and Defects in Connecticut Forests Classic Reprint written by Raymond Kienholz and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-12 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Survey of Diseases and Defects in Connecticut Forests The present condition of the forest stands of Connecticut is the result of hundreds of years of misuse. Successive clear cuttings for charcoal and fire wood have caused deterioration of both the stand and the site. Logging has been carried on with little regard for the future stand. The desirable trees have been cut taking everything if the stand was good, or, if poor, leaving the undesirable species and the deformed and rotten trees. The added disaster of chestnut blight has further depleted the growing stock. As a result the stands are understocked and contain many undesirable trees. Since most of the state owned forests have been planted with conifers wherever there were open areas, the chief silvicultural problem facing the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1933 was that of improving existing stands. These are largely composed of hardwoods or hardwoods in mixture with softwoods in the younger age classes. The task of choosing crop trees brought to light the prevalence of Nectria cankers and other diseases and defects. In the winter of 1934-35 a survey of disease conditions in Connecticut forests was started. The purpose of this survey was to determine (1) the kind, abundance and distribution of diseases and defects in the forests of the State and (2) the effect of species, composition, age and other stand and site characteristics on the prevalence of diseases and defects. The results indicate the present condition of the stands examined and should serve as a basis for determining (a) the best method for reducing damage from diseases and defects in the present stands and (b) by comparison with future studies, the degree Of effectiveness of present treatments in lessen ing damage.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tree Planting, Forestry in Europe, and Other Papers But aside from the need of fencing, and the demands for railway and telegraph companies, there are nearly seventy occupations enumerated in the last United States census which in whole or in part use wood as their raw material for manufacture, employing more than one million of artisans, such as carpenters, cabinet-makers, chair-makers, coach-makers, eoopers, boat and ship builders, wheelwrights, manufacturers of brooms, brushes, matches, furniture, agri cultural implements, machinery and the like.
