Lumber Production in 1946 Totaled 32 Billion Board Feet

Washington, D. C.-A rapid up-swing of production in 1946 broke the back oi'the lumber shortage, the National Lumber Manufacturers said recently.

Lumber output in 1946 totaled 32 billion board feet, the Asso,ciation said in releasing national production figures. This represents an increase of 4.5 billion feet over 1945 and reversed the lumber production trend in effect since the peak war output of. 1942.

The 32-billion-feet production has started the lumber industry back toward peak production. It completely reversed the outlook in the first part of last year .ivhen labor troubles, shipping difficulties and other factors held back production. The Association expects this high rate of production to continue.

"In general, the lumber shortage is norv ended," the Association said. "Construction lumber is in ample supply.

"Certain special lumber products, such as hardwood flooring are still scarce in some areas. Production of flooring, nearly rviped out under OPA price ceilings, has not yet caught up with accumulated demand, but .lvill do so soon.

"The only real problem about lumber not worked out completely is distribution. This is rapidly adjusting itself."

The 32 billion feet production was four times the amount needed for the veterans' housing program. To meet home construction needs in 1946, some 8.1 billion feet of lumber was required, according to National Housing Agency estimates as compared to the 32 billion output.

The Association also reported the supply of standing timber in good condition rvith ample stands available for cutting. It pointed out that recent figures shorv annual drain on the forests is norv approximately equalled by new growth.

The lriglrest rvar year production of lumber was in 1942, when output hit 36.3 billion. In 1943 it rvas 34.2; in 1944 it hit 32.9 and in 1915 it declined to 27.5 billion. Thus the 1946 output reversed a trend in efiect for four year.s.

Prospects for continued high output this year ard excellent the Association said, rvith every likelihood that the nation's lumber r.reeds t'ill be met.
