During 1911. liojflabs or saw-mill waste were reported as being converted into wQprt-pulp in Canada, but from the reports made to the Forestry Branch by saw-mill operators it would appear that a very small quantity of mill waste is so utilized by three companies operating saw-mills and pulp-mills under the same ownership. This is an economy practised to a greater extent in other countries, and by neglecting it Canada is losing greatly. It has been conservatively estimated that if all useful logs left in the bush by lumbermen, large-sized branches, slabs and other mill waste from the lumber in- dustry in Canada, had been converted into pulpwood in 1911, the annual output of pulpwood would have been increased and not a single acre need have been cut over for logs to make wood-pulp only.
