Our Timber Outlook Within Thirty Years
Treadwell Cleveland Jr argues forest conservation to keep timber supply. He warns that current US cutting at 500 feet board measure per year per person could exhaust virgin forests in under thirty years, while Europe and Japan show productive forests with proper care and utilization. He cites waste in yellow pine production and urges intelligent use, better mill utilization, and faster forest regrowth to preserve forest independence and a key national industry.
