On The Pipe Industry A report received from the National Forest Supervisor con tains some interesting data on the pipe industry, an extensive survey having been made of both woods and mill operations. There are now seven factories, the two larg est being those run by the Farmers Federation in Hendersonville and Burnsville. These two handle 100 tons or 200,000 pounds of burl wood per week. The next in capacity is the Kaywoodie factory with an average of 40 tons per week. The output of the seven plants is 176,400 pipe blocks a week, which is not half the de mand! Has all the country taken to pipes —to help “save the laurel?” The next interesting item is the estimated cost of this production. The price paid bv the pipe com panies is from $1 tc $2.50 per ton. This does not include the cost of getting the burls to the mills, which increases the cost consider ably, but most of the factories do their own trucking and dig ging. The wages paid to workers in the woods and mills run from $2 to $2.50 —not as much as a carpenter makes. So the cost of producing the blocks cannot be very much over one cent each. The report estimates that a ten of wood yields 900 pipes. Here are some interesting figures to speculate with. We do not know anything about the cost of finish ing the pipes, but the most of it, if net all, is done by machinery. In order to complete the picture Cont'nved on Back Page
