1933 Lumber Production
Washingtori, June l.-Although identical mill reports of the United States Census Bureau show an increase of 31.3 per cent in lumber production in 1933 over 1932, it is probable that last year's total is somewhat greater than this comparison would indicate due to the starting up of new mills after the Lumber and Timber Prodticts Code went into effect in August. Production in 1932 was reported as 1Q151,232,000 feet. The Census Bureau's estimate would place lumber production in 1933 as 13,328,000,000 feet. This is based upon the reports received from 539 identical mills, each unit having cut at least 2,000,000 feet board measure in either 1932 or 1933. The reporting mills acounted for 59.8 per cent of the total production during the year 1932. The figure does not include the cut of mills which operated in 1932 but were out of businessnot merely idle-in 1933, nor for those which operated in 1933 but were not in existence in 1932.
The estimated increase in 1933 output as compared with 1932 is very close to that indicated by the reports of identical mills to the National Lumber Trade Barometer of 29 per cent, and upon which the National Lumber Manufacturers Association made estimate in January of a 1933 cut of 13,200,000,000 feet. ' This estimate was latef increased to 13,400,000,0@ feet.
In reporting production by regions, an increase is shown by the Bureau for every section of the country except the Northeastern States where production declined 10.1 per cent. The greatest increase was in the Southern Rocky Mountain States where production for the year jumped 49.5 per cent. The Central States show,ed an increase of 42.8 per cent, the Northern Pacific States 37.2 per cent, and the Southern States, 33 per cent. The Lake States followed with an incr,ease of. 16.2 per cent, the Northern Rocky Mountain Stat€s with 14.5 per cent, the North Carolina Pine States 12.8 per cent, and the Southern Pacific States 12.4 per cent.

Radio Frcquencies Assigned To Foregt Scrvice
The Interdepartmental Radio Advisory Committee at Washington, D. C., has just assigned the use of five Forest Service frequencies for forest protection purposes with permission to tie into temporary camps, emergency points or toiprovide s'ervice, where it would not be economical to build telephone lines, according to S. B. Show, U. S. Regional Forester. The use of radio for administrative business is forbidden except in cases of unusual emergency conditions.
The'frequencies assigned to the Forest Service for Cali' fornia are the same as those assigned to the national forests of southern Oregon, parts o1 Montana, Oregon and Washington. With 300 radio sets in operation in the national forests of California this form of communication will play an increasingly important part in fighting forest fircs, according tor forest officers.
