Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Timber Industries of West Virginia Hansen and Warder (1967) observed that a pattern toward greater stability had developed within the industry. This was exemplified by a steady decline in small-scale operations, an ih crease in average size, a leveling-off in total out put, and an increasing number of mills that operated all year. The study also found that the percentage of sawmills near improved roads had grown from 68 percent in 1958 to 81 percent in 1967, and that maximum distances for hauling sawlogs (from the woods to the mill) had in creased from a range of 10 to 36 miles to a range of 18 to 110 miles. In the eastern United States, improved transportation routes tend to increase the size of raw-material procurement areas, in crease product marketing capabilities, and en courage the development of high-capacity production facilities. While sawlog production from West Virginia timberlands decreased by 5 percent - 464 million board feet - from 1965 to 1974, log receipts at sawmills decreased by 8 percent (table Only the Northwestern Region reflected increases in both sawlog production and receipts, up 26 percent and 17 percent, respectively, during the past 10 years. The Southern Region experienced the greatest losses in both production and receipts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Timber Products Production in West Virginia, 1965 Since the period of heavy cutting in the late 1800's and early l9oo's, West Virginia's forest resource has made an impressive comeback. Today wood in West Virginia is growing about twice as fast as it is being cut. According to the 1961 forest survey of West Virginia,1 the annual growth of growing stock2 in the State totaled 370 million cubic feet while timber cut totaled 119 million cubic feet. More than 1 billion board feet of sawtimber is being added to the resource each year while less than billion is being removed. This lower level of cutting, a rapid rate of farm abandonment with a consequent increase in forest acreage, and the widening application of forest-management practices have rejuvenated the State's forest resource. Thus today the average timber stand in West Virginia is young and vigorous. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from West Virginia Geological Survey, Vol. 5: Forestry and Wood Industries In calling attention to the condition of West Virginia forests and to the necessity for a more economical use of them, we bring before the farmers, the manufacturers, the lumbermen, before business men, professional men, capitalists, laborers, and men of every trade and calling, a question in which they are all alike interested. In no state are the forests greater timber producers, and in no state do they occupy a more important position than in West Virginia. The non-agricultural lands lie on our mountains at the heads of the streams. The removal of forests from these lands would affect not only the citizens of this state but all who are influenced in any way by the flow of the Ohio river. The approximate figures given below will serve to show the situation briefly. There once existed within the present limits of West Vir ginia an almost unbroken forest covering more than 15% million acres and containing 150 billion feet of timber. During the time which has elapsed, from the clearing of the first acre by civilized men to the present, the virgin forest area-has been reduced to one-tenth its original size or to 1% million acres. In addition to this area there are extensive cut-over forests aggregating about 3 million acres; and 5 million acres of far mers' woodlots. The present forests, then, cover 60 per cent of the state and contain not less than 25 billion feet of standing timber. There are 83 mammoth band saw mills and about 900 portable saw mills operating within the state. These have a combined annual capacity of approximately 1% billion feet. Should all of them continue to operate as at present they would cut the timber of the state in a little over 16 years.

This was equivalent to tons green weight, or tons dry weight, per hour. Based on these outputs, the cost of producing chips was per 100 cubic feet, $1.a5 per green ton, and per air - dry ton.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seasoning of Wood: A Treatise on the Natural and Artificial Processes Employed in the Preparation of Lumber for Manufacture, With Detailed Explanations of Its Uses, Characteristics and Properties The seasoning and kiln-drying of wood is such an important process in the manufacture of woods that a need for fuller information regarding it, based upon scientific study of the behavior of various species at different mechanical temperatures, and under different drying processes, is keenly felt. Everyone connected with the woodworking industry, or its use in manufactured products, is well aware of the difficulties encountered in properly seasoning or removing the moisture content without injury to the timber, and of its susceptibility to atmospheric, conditions after it has been thoroughly seasoned. There is perhaps no material or substance that, gives up its moisture with more resistance than wood does. It vigorously defies the efforts of human ingenuity to take away from it, without injury or destruction, that with which nature has so generously supplied it. In the past but little has been known of this matter further than the fact that wood contained moisture which had to be removed before the wood could be made use of for commercial purposes. Within recent years, however, considerable interest has been awakened among wood-users in the operation of kiln-drying. The losses occasioned in air-drying and improper kiln-drying, and the necessity for getting the material dry as quickly as possible after it has come from the saw, in order to prepare it for manufacturing purposes, arc bringing about a realization of the importance of a technical knowledge of the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Yield of Virginia Pine Virginia pine (pinus virginiana Mill.) is the dominant species on many forest lands in Maryland, Virginia, and the Carolinas. Not many years ago Virginia pine was classed as a forest weed and commonly called scrub pine' In recent years, the good pulping qualities of its wood, its heavy yields pzr acre, and its acceptance as sawtimber have led to increasing interest in the productive capacity of Virginia pine by landowners. This paper reports cubic yield estimates of Virginia pine stands of various densities, growing on different sites, and with varying proportions of the forest stand in Virginia pine.

Download or read book The Art of the Reprint written by Rosalind Parry and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-03-31 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Art of the Reprint is a vivid and engaging history of the nineteenth-century novel as it was re-imagined for everyday readers by four extraordinary twentieth-century illustrators. It focuses especially on four reprints: a 1929 edition of Thomas Hardy's The Return of the Native (1878) with engravings by Clare Leighton, a 1930 edition of Herman Melville's Moby Dick (1851) with images by Rockwell Kent, a 1943 edition of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre (1847) with woodblocks by Fritz Eichenberg, and a complete set of Jane Austen's novels (1786-1817) illustrated from 1957 to 1974 by Joan Hassall. Taken together, these reprints are indicative of a legacy crafted from historical distance, through personal, political, and artistic circumstance, and for a new century. With biographical, archival, and art- and literary-historical sources as well as close readings of images and texts, this is a richly illustrated account of how artists reinvent canons for the general reader.
