Canadian Furcslrij Journal, Januarij, J917 939 the stump to the mill doing away witli our huge wood piles, with the expense of piling and unpiling, the loss of interest, the deterioration of the wood and the danger from fire. With our timber areas concentrated the ex- pense of fire protection and adminis- tration would be much reduced and labor afforded for a large number of men. Owing to the much larger amount of wood per acre the logging costs would be much reduced and as only the best trees would be allowed to reach maturity the quality of the wood would be much improved. We would have a steady supply for all time and a uniform cost figure and by having our forests near the mill means could be devised to use up the branches and probably even the needles so that like the packing in- dustry which uses everything of the hog but the squeal, we could use all of the tree but the smell. That this is an economic possibility I am quite convinced as we can plant trees now for $ per acre, where we have to pay $ for our stock. This w^e can raise for $ per acre making a further reduction. Taking the former figure at 6 compound interest and we can raise wood for $ a cord which is cheaper than it can be bought to-day.
