Tlmber-LumberWood Products

Ever since Colonial days, our forests and our lumber and wood products industries have been a major s€gment of our industrial economy. fn some states these resources^ are the principal sources of wealth. In the Continental United States and coastal Alaska there are about 489 million acres of commercial forests, about t/a of our total land area. Over 1 million acres are under government ownership ; Ll million acres are in farm woodlots; over I mlllion acres are owned by industry and about 131 million acres by other private interests.

Two new bulletins of interest to every owner of timber land, to sawmill operators or lumber dealers, to all lumber brokers or wholesalers and to every lumbcr distribution yard or lumbcr re manufacturing facility were announced recently by the U.S. Depattment of Commerce.

A general summary and brief history of our timber, lumber and wood products industry is siven in Business Service Bulle[in No. 171. Thii 8-pi- e leaflet is a thumbnail sketch of our timber resources, their characteristics and their utilization. Information on both hard and soft woods are covered with basic data on lumber production and products including plywood and veneers, ties, poles, piles and mine timbErs, shakce and shingles; in fact, all products including use of wastes from processing. Even Christmas tree produc- tion is covered. Channels of distribution in the tradc. including foreign trade, are included.

A companion publication of 20 pages, BSB 170, provides hundreds of references to authoritative publications and data on all phases of the lumber and wood products industry. The easy-to-use finding guide and index ranges from Barking to Veneers and from Bibliographies to Woodwork shop projects.

Copies of these informative bulletins, at 10c each, can be had from the San Francisco Field Office. U.S. Department of Commerce, 419 Custom House, 555 Battery St., San Francisco 11, Calif.
