DRIVING IS STILL A COMMON PRACTICE IN THE MOUNTAINOUS REGIONS OF GERMANY. 1 prised at the amount of lumber sea- soned wholly in the open or under sheds. Although considerable is dry kilned not as much is put through this process as one woiild naturally expect. Since Germany's forests produce only four principal species namely Scotch pine, beech, Norway spruce, and silver fir with only a little oak, ash, maple, hornbeam, etc., their problem of utiliza- tion is much simplified. Many foreign woods, as a result, are introduced to supply the demand and American tim- bers are highly prized. At several of the mills visited, many intensive lines of utilization were de- veloped. For instance, at one mill, be- sides the usual liimber and box board product, there were special machines for turning out broom handles, wooden shoes, implement stock, cooperage, furniture stock, ties and excelsior, and in addition there was a Bou- cherie timber treating plant to pro- long the life of telephone and telegraph poles. In the United States as a ivhole four-fifths of the standing timber is privately otvned, and one-fifth is owned by various States and the Federal Government. New York mvns one fifth of the forest land of the State and one fourth of the standing timber. Owing to a clause in the Constitution this timber cannot be cut even though it is dying or dead and a menace to healthy timber about it. The State should allow careful cutting of mature timber in the Adirondacks. New York manufactures more pulp"paper than any other State, consuming over 1,000,000 cords of wood per annm. Maine, its nearest competitor, is surpassed by over 100,000 cords. With over 6,000,000,000 bd. ft. of timber growing on the forest land owned by the people of the State of New York, over $20,000,000 is sent out of the Stat
