Lumber demand exceeds supply in South Dakota
Pierre Oct 20 Frank D Kriebs state secretary of agriculture urged a comprehensive tree planting campaign as demand for lumber in South Dakota and the nation far exceeds supply. He cited forest devastation, noting original forests covered 22 000 000 acres two thirds, 548 000 000 acres, have been cut or destroyed by fire. About 26 000 000 000 cubic feet of timber is cut annually while replacement runs at six billion feet. He urged corn belt states especially South Mikotu to establish corn stalk paper mills turning farm waste into profits for farmers.
