Washington timber reserves and aviation lumber values
The state holds about 365 billion feet of standing timber with Douglas fir dominating. Annual cut is 3.5 billion feet, enough to last 100 years at current rates. Washington hosts the continent’s largest spruce growth alongside Oregon. Aeroplane lumber yields high prices, but only a sixth of a log is usable for aircraft manufacture. Food shortages loom. Federal Food Administrator Hebberd urges wheatless Wednesdays and increased beef, pork, and wheat conservation.
