North Carolina Industhries Are De prudent on the Forests of the Slatc -( h^stnut Blight .Serious Tl r 'ild saying used to run, ‘‘You can't eat vour cake and have it, too,” l,nt tl at apparently does not apply to Nun!) Carolina’s forests, judging iron! recent statements of Director E.1 II lYuthi.n.'hani of the Appalachian | u|i ; Experiment Station. The chief endeavor-of this outdoor laboratory , f the Forest Service, United States Department of Agriculture, is to per-! fn t way- and means of both using ami keeping the forests of North Car-1 uljiia ami neighboring States. •\V< have passed out of the epoch of the destruction of the forest as an exhaustible, resource,” says Mr. Froth-, inghatn. Emphasis must now be j,lai i d upon the value of forest land as I a producer of successive crops of; timber. If private ventures will not; plan ahead the supply they need, the public must take steps to control the1 use - f our timber resources so that the ; industry will be established on some commercial basis.” Haiboadfj in North Carolina are using omewhere between a million and a half and two million crossties every year. These, Mr. Frothingham ppinjj out. must come from trees at lea if, nine inches in diameter and preferably larger and must be of a dense, hard wood. In broad feet meas ure. this means sixty or seventy mil lion feet annually. North Carolina is one of the lead ing furniture-manufacturing States in the Union, depending, of course, upon the forests for its very livelihood in thi indu-try. The manufacture pf furniture in the State quadrupled in .value in the decade 1909-1919, but th very .timber resources that once at - traded the industry to North Caro lina are now insufficient to suppl; its demand.-. In 1909 only 5 per cen of the timber used came from outsid the State, while by 1919 31 per cen of the amount consumed came fron oUts.de. ( nest nut Blight Serious •"TV tanning extract industry of the State is confronted with the loss (f i! main domestic source of supply tl.-inufrh the impending death of the < Ik itnijt from the chestnut blight. With the disappearance of chestnut, the telegraph and telephone industries ah" will lie robbed of their chief source of poles, and the railroads of: mi important tie-producing species. There i little prospect that the dis ease can he checked. “( best nut is probably thp most I abundant of th^ hardwood "species of our mountains and its loss will in volve a profound change in the com position of the forests. What this will he on the various soils favored by the thestnut and how the, replacement by oth< r species can he turned to the h< ' advantage of the industries is ai task before research. A study of the nature of this replacement has oc- ’ copied much of our time during the past summer. 1 lie paper and pulp industry is one j m-which extensions in the South may he exported. This industry consumes j many kinds of wood in relatively ' .oil sizes. Though clear material is desii-cd, high quality is not a requisite, j ihe small size of the material con- • sumed makes it possible to raise the i v*ixluct in much shorter time than is ! the case with more exacting indus-! tries. I orest Management Required Hew to manage forests so as to 'imply both pulpwood on short ro J 'h'ms and saw or veneer logs on rotatlnn, is a matter requiring a ingh degree of skill based upon a 1 lough knowledge of the behavior 1 ’he different species in competition with one another.” ",lth rcf°restation of North Caro-1 !'";iis denuded timberlands, Mr. Froth. ’ ingham believes it not impossible that: 'v“ -“>av see a rebirth of the Tarheel ”'n,ient«K> industry.
