THE DRAIN UPON THE FORESTS. - They Are Being CiitTnre Time a Fast as Thei Grow, . Since 1880 the sources of lum ber supply have undergone remark able changes. Thetat change was in the regions from which the principal kind of lumber were procured, and this was followed by the substitioli of other kinds ot wood in their placeB. Neither the centers of the lumber indus try nor dothe leading classes of woods are he same; as they were twentv-fi e years ago. In 1880 nine States Michigan, Pennsyl vania. Wisconsin New York, Texas, Arkansas, Miss Louisana and Washington pro duced 52.8 per cent, or more than half of the total .'lumber produc tion of United States. In 1906 these State produced ol.o per cent, pracically the same propor tion, but theshangoa which have taken place in the output of in dividual States areveryfetriking. Michigan, for instance, cut 23 per cent of the total in 1880 tfld but 5.6 per cent in 1906; Louisi ana cut 0.7 Der cent of the total in 1880 and 7.5 per cent in 1905;' Washington furnished but 0.9 per cent of the lumber production of 1880 and 11.5 per cent of Othat of 1906. The cuting out of the vir gin timber in th&North and East has been followed by increased drains upon the forestl'resources of the South and'W est. DesDite - these conditions the amount of timber required has in creased year by year. The in crease in consumption of timber since 1880 has been more rapid than,the increase of the popula tion, and greater tb.an.in any sim ilar period in the history . of the country. This shows in a strik- ing manner how much the nation depends upon forest products, and indicates how greatly all interests mnst Buffer as lumber becomes scarcer and dearer. Statistics gathered bv the Bu reau of the Census and the Fores Service show that the quantities of timber used last year for lum bar, shingles, ties, pulpwood cooperage stock, mine timbers lath, distillation, veneer, poles and turpentine and rosin, express e& in board feet, reach a total o annrn-jtimatelv 50 billion board rc feet. While these drains upon the forest are known with reasonable certainty, there ar9 others of which there is. no record. These are thev demand for posts, fuel, and domostic purposes, rbgarding which it is more difficult to ob tain information, because the products often pass through no market, J)ut are consumed on the farm where they were produc ed. Careful estimates, however, tiIara the total of wood used for fuel alone at an equivalent billion board feet a year. It will be, seen, then, that the present consumption of wood in all forms is above 100 billion board feet annually. Estimating the forest area of the United States at from SOO to 700 million acres, and the annual growth at 60 board feet per, the yearlyin - JOB LOT QFJDDVaND ENDS. was eaeral News, State Nws; and Comments -'. oYarfons Subjects. - lUle igh, : Jan i" 17.Statements here to-night are that .the Atlan- ic Coast .
