There is concern in the United States forestry bu-
reau over the outlook for a future timber supply for
the country, says the Chicago Evening Post. An
investigation conducted by the bureau has disclosed
the fact that the United States must depend upon its
II
own resources for soft woods because the struggle
of the nations for this class of timber means that
each one must look to its own supply and cannot de-
pend much longer upon supplies from beyond its
borders.
li
So far as the hardwoods are concerned, there seems
to be no reason for immediate anxiety. It is true that
prices will be high, but the reports show there are
virtually inexhaustible supplies of hardwoods in the
tropics. Hardwood, however, never can take the
place of soft wood, because the former has only lim-
ited use, while for the latter there is an insistent de-
mand because it is the only kind of timber which
could be used for a thousand and one purposes.
it
In speaking of this matter,, the Richmond Times-
Dispatch says: "We wasted our soft wood timber
resources with criminal prodigality. The supply has
II
steadily diminished until extraordinarily long hauls
must be made to supply the demand, thereby greatly
increasing the cost of building construction. There is
nothing to it but that more attention must be given
to timber culture."
For many years there has come the annual warning
against the folly of neglecting to grow timber as we
grow other crops. Is the warning never to be
heeded?
