n! ns stipplies dimension lumber from ROGGE LUMBER CO,,

Last year's lumber output was close to the level of postwar years, with most of it being produced in the West where the ma. jor lumber companies are located. Indus. try leaders are Weyerhaeuser and GeorgiaPacific Corp. Of the industry's 33,000 en. tities, none is dominant. Weyerhaeuser, the largest, manufactures only about 5/o of all softwood lumber.

From 1947 to 1962, the softwood plywood industry experienced the fastest rate of growth of any major U. S. industry, with production increases averaging l4/o annually. Georgia-Pacific Corp. is the largest producer, followed by U. S. Plywood Cotp.

Biggest emphasis since 1958 has been on sheathing plywood, used mainly as underlayment for floors, roofs and siding. Other important forest products in the panel group are hardwood, whose output has been rising about I0/o annually; p;rticleboard and insulation board.

The most important development in the forest industry in the postwar years, says Investornews, has been the integration bf produetlon, with the best top being used in- high-grade veneer for sanded plywood, while others go into lower grades of lum. ber or sheathing, or end up-as chips for a pulp mill or particle.board plant.

Most integrated producers in the West have been sending more of their logs into plywood and more leftovers into puli. This has shrunk the raw material uu"ilubl" fo. lumtrer and has sent plywood soaring. It also has made more important the Jperations of lumber and plywood mills.
