General use of short-length lumber nine feet or less could save enough forest material to build 900,000 eight-room dwellings annually. Arthur T. Upson of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association says the plan supports Hoover’s industrial waste crusade. Data from the association and laboratories inform a push to stimulate demand for short lengths, seen as cheaper and often higher quality than long lumber.
