Timber and forest industry survey across Australia and allied plans

Special Timber Correspondent reports on a Commonwealth survey of sawdust resources in Australia drawing responses from about 2000 sawmills under state forest authorities. The piece outlines industrial uses of sawdust and wood flour, including fibre wall beating, concrete forming, and plastics. It notes large wartime employment and model city projects, plus Allied military government efforts to exploit German forests for reparations while avoiding renewed wartime capacity. It references Tree Farm programs in the United States and private forest lands aiming for sustained timber yields across 12 million acres.
