$316,7321545 Forest Products Snles by Weyerhoeuser in 1955

Tacoma-The United States Forest Service's survey of the nation's forests, the Timber Resource Review, recently released, clearly shou's that American forestry has made tremendous strides in the last 20 years, and is meeting the challenge of expanding markets, stated J. P. Weyerhaeuser, Jr., president of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company. He said that 1955 had been the company's most successful year and predicted a good demand for forest products during 1956, based on forecdsts of recor<i activity in the construction industry and a high level of general prosperity.
Sales of forest products were $316,732,545 in 1955, compared with $262,496,948 in 1954. Net income was $49,241,030. Taxes in 1955 amounted to $41,885,875.
The company had 14,427 employes at the end of 1955an increase of 930 during the year. Employee earnings in 1955 lvere $72,078,93A. The average annual earning of hourly employes reached a new high of $+,752.
Forest products sales for the year consisted of lumber, $180,492,296; pulp and paperboard, $96,891,725; plywood, $18,322,894; other, $21,025,630. The sales volume of each of the three major classifications in 1955 represented nerv highs.
The company's lumber production was tyt 23o/o over 1954. Plywood production increased 25/o in the same period and pulp and paperboard volume was up l5'/o.
Weyerhaeuser Timber Company n611' produces four tons of pulp for each ton it produced ten years ago, and that this increase has been accomplished u'ithout significant drain on timber resources. The u'ood supply for pulp has been obtained principally from greater utilization of sau'mil1 and logging leftovers, forest thinnings and previously unused species oI timber.
Expenditures in 1955 for additions to plants, equipment and roads totaled $26,277,796. The most significant developments took place in the Grays Harbor-Willapa Harbor area of Washington, where work rvas begun on a 40o-ton per day sulphite pulp mill at Cosmopolis, and on a new modern sa'ir,mill at Raymond to replace the present old facilities. In addition a new green cargo lumber mill at Aberdeen rvas acquired in connection with an exchange of timberland in this area. When the pulp mill is completed in 7957.1og production rn'ill be increased to a point approximating tl-re allorvable annual cut on company lands in the region.
The report also emphasized Weyerhaeuser Timber Company's forestry, research and development programs directed toward obtaining the maximum yield from forest lands and the manufacture of more diversified products to more completely utilize the company's forest resources.
