GIFFORD PINCHOT, FORESTER.
The Waning Hardwood Supply and the Appalachian Forests BY WILLIAM L. HALL, Assistant Forester.
HAKDWOOD CUT,D1!]CL1N1NG.
The hardwood lumber cut in 1899, according to the census,* was 8,634,021 thousand feet; in 1906 it had fallen to 7,315,491 thou- sand feet, a decrease of 15.3 per cent.
This decrease took place during a period when American indus- tries sprang fo
...rward at a pace unparalleled; when there was the strongest demand ever known for every class of structural material ; when the output of pig iron increased 15 per cent., that of cement 132.17 per cent., and even that of softwood timber 15.6 per cent.
That the decrease is due to diminished supply rather than to lessened demand seems to be proved beyond question. During the same period the wholesale price of various classes of hardwood lum- ber advanced from 25 to 65 per cent. ; every kind of hardwood found in quantity sufficient to make it useful has been put on the market, and hardwood timber is now being cut in every State and every locality where it exists in quantity large enough to be cut with profit.
