North Carolina Pagre SeTen Mr. Hoover Concerned About The Depletiun of United States Forests Fears Increasing Use of Timber in All Industries Likely to Create liUmber Famine CARTHAGE The thought of the entire country turned toward the tropics when Her bert Hoover begran his tour of South America. The American people dis covered Panama hats are not made in Panama, but that Equador is the source of the supply. They have read much about rubber. They have dis- lovered anew that Chile, with a coast line of almost 3,000 miles, av-| (•rages only 100 miles in width. Theyj have been reading much about j <trang:e peoples, the cocao crop, ni-j trates and fertilizer, mountain alti- Ti’des, the civilization of the Incas, rare fruits and flowers and a hun dred other topics. A country that has developed as rppldly as the United States must look sharply to forest resources, says the New York Herald Tribune. What about the forests of the tropics? Since we are using- or destroying by fire our own forests about four and one-half times faster than we are renewing them, foresters have long been con cerned as to where the supplies of the future are to be obtained. Since our population is increasing at the rate of about 1,000,000 a year American business must begin plant ing trees against the future prosper ity of th« eoulitry, accoTding' to Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the American Tree Association. Mr. Pack points out that Mr. Hoover is forestry-minded. The President-elect * has said; “The welfare of the nation] is to a large extent dependent on the perpetuation of our forests.” Concerned About Future Economists are concerned about the future timber supply. Ancient civ ilizations passed with the passing of iheir forests, and this concern may be justified when we stop to think there is no article of commerce in this amazing civilization of ours into which the cost of wood is not figured some where. From baby carriages to coffins there is the constant call for wood. The radio, th'e automobile and the aeroplane have increased the demand for lumber. The basis of nearly every industry is wood.

It reads: North Carolina is becoming fa mous for something else besides be ing one of the four southern states that delivered their elec toral votes to Herbert Hoover. It has replaced Pennsylvania in be ing the state paying the second largest amount of taxes to the federal government. New York 'holds first place. North Carolina’s progress in the last 10 years is nothing short of miraculous. It has outstripped every other southern state and is now challenging the manufactur ing prestige of northern states. The “Old North State” appar ently awakened all at once. For almost 50 years after the Civil war, the state was almost at a standstill. Then it suddenly blos somed forth with cotton mills, fur niture manufacturing plants, mod ern agriculture, up-to-date methods of education, and everything that makes a wide-awake state. The position their state has at tained must be very gratifying to “Tar Heels,” as natives of North Carolina are called. For many years Virginians made sport of any one from the state to the south of them. The fact that North Carolina has forced Virgin ia to “take its dust” alone must furnish sufficient incentive to North Carolinians to strive for more laurels. up and disposed of. The meeting wasjceived from the Bethlehem School, Smator and Mrs. W. S. Wood, of |itor to the city recently. one of interest and enthusiasm. The hostess served fruit cake, wafers and hot chocolate.

About 5,000,000 Trees are cut annually for telegraph! and telephone wires; we use 500,000,-i t‘<'0 fence posts every year. Forest fires in the United Statse cost nearly >UI0.000 a day. | There are 81,000,000 acres of idle j land in this country, all of which j 'hould be put to work growing trees, i experts say. Millions of feet of pulp- wood are used every year by the newspaper industry. About two- H rh.rds of the population uses wood for fuel. A greater amount goes to ^ this account than for any other pur-1 pose. Hoover for Reforestation Added to this tremendous drain on the forest resources is waste. Real izing we are using only about one- third of the wood in every tree cut, Mr. Hoover has pointed out that to docrease this drain on the timber re sources would be a strong impetus toward commercial reforestation for *hf* reason that timber crops would then increase in value. Ic’entified with his work for better ing conditions in the lumber indus try and reducing wages in the for- epts was the creation of the national ommittee on wood utilization, estab- if^hed in 1925. The aim of this com mittee has been to bring about a v.iser and more efficient use of wood and other forest products as a means f advancing commercial reforesta tion. Secretary Hoover was chairman if this committee. To get an idea as to the possibili- ’^ies of tropical forests in some of the <^^ountries Mr. Hoover has just visited, Charles Lathrop Pack Forestry Trust i'? investigating the forests in some 'f these countries. The second trip of tropical forest investigation has just begun, and by another year it is expected the Pack nvestigation will have important in formation as to the forest resources our neighbors in the South.
