How Lrumber lrooks

Portland, Oregon, September 25, lg4!-The weekly aver_ age of West Coast lumber production in August (4 weeks) was 120,182,000 board feet, or 82.9 per cent of Lg4Z_45 averag'e, according to the West Coast Lumbermen's As_ sociation in its monthly survey of the industry. Orders averaged I22,646,0n b. f.; shipments 111,2g0,000. Weekly averages for July were: production 93,090,000 b. f. rc4.j per cent of the 1942-45 average); orders 9g,22g,000; ship_ ments, 95,828,000.

The industry's unfillcd order file stood at SS3,ZZS,W b f at the end of August; gross stocks at 4O3,42I,000.

West Coast Lumbermen's Association termed the greatly increased production of lumber for August, .,a major con_ tribution to the nation's lumber housing needs.,, Mills in the Douglas fir region cut an average it tZO million feet per r,r'eek during August, up 27 million over July. Although still short 11.6% of equalling 1945 production for the first 35 weeks of 1946, lumbermen saw some bright spots.

Mills of the West Coast region are converting more than 50/o of. their cut to housing lumber, one- and two_inch sizes, and production of these items so far in 1946 reorc_ sents 115/o of normal.

"Look at the record,', West Coast lumber spokesmen urged, "then you .ivill see tangible proof that any failure of the national housing program is not due to a shortage of lumber, at least as far as west coast mills are concerned. There is a widespread tendency, both rvithin and without g'overnment, to blame lumber for the failure of Wyatt,s program to produce houses. The truth is there is a shortage of nails, plumbing, wiring, soil pipe and skilled labor, everything but lumber."

Lumbermen went on to explain the shortage of items like flooring, ceiling, siCing and millwork as due to impractical government formulas and regulations and pointed to subsidy on plywood logs as an example, for it has served to divert clear-type logs, u'hich make these scarce items, an'ay from sawmills.
