Lumber Requirements in 1943

M:llwork Panels \|fall Board BUILDERS SUPPLY CO. 19dr & S Sts.tTill?'

The total lumber requirements for construction and all other uses will total approximately 31,500,00O,000 (thirtyone billion five hundred million) board feet in 1943, it was announced today by the War Production Board.

The lumber consumption estimate, which includes the lumber which may be required by this country for use outside of the United States, was prepared by the War Production Board and the U. S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service. It includes lumber to be used in boxing, crating, factory, and construction, as well as for military uses.

The present forcast provides for prospective construction under severe limitations and does not provide for any unusual catastrophe or for replenishing depleted stocks. Since lumber stocks are at the lowest point in several years, it is not at all certain that production will be high enough to enable consumers of lumber for war purposes to get what they need during the year. While active steps are being taken to increase production, so that the major war consumers can be assured of their requirements, consumption of lumber must be limited to actual production.

Lumber requirements for new construction in the United States in 1943 will total approximately 11,000,000,000 (eleven billion) board feet.

AFPI lssues Forest Products Cha* and New Tree-Growing M.p

The Public Relations Department of American Forest Products Industries, Inc. has just added two new types of pictorial information to its bibliography of educational materials dealing with the forests and the forest harvest.

The first is a forest products chart, Products of American Forests, which breaks into classified form several hundred forest harvest derivatives. It will take its place in the AFPI educational kit during March. Printed in three colors and produced by the off-set frrocess, the 25x30 inches wall chart segregates forest products into four main classifications: Products derived from sawlogs, wood chemistry, veneer processes, and miscellaneous, the latter including naval stores. The second is a new 2Ex34 inch S-color tree-growing map of American forest resources, Where We Grow Our Trees.

Although primarily intended for classroom distribution, samples of both the map and the chart will be mailed to forest industry operators. Additional copies for local distribution and plant use may be obtained free of charge. These two posters are the latest additions to a growing series of visual material for use on classroom and industry bulletin boards. They have been preceded in the series by eight school-and-industry posters (in color) which were printed in _two sets of four posters each. In each set one poster was devoted to wood in war and three to good forest management as practiced by the forest industries.
