Wood Using Industries Of Connecticut Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Wood-Using Industries of Connecticut Connecticut is one of the most densely populated states of the Union. Its square miles are occupied by over a million inhabitants. A very large percentage of its people reside within two score manufacturing centers and depend directly upon indus trial employment for a livelihood. The various industries include nearly factories, with an invested capital of more than a third of a billion dollars, an annual output worth a like sum, and a payroll of some millions. A considerable number of these factories convert the raw material of the forest into finished products. The report of the lumber cut of the United States in 1910, prepared by the Bureau of the Census in coopera tion with the Forest Service, United States Department of Agri culture, shows that the Connecticut sawmills cut over board feet in that year. Part of the lumber made'in the State is shipped away, and of the total domestic consumption probably one-fourth IS utilized In rough lumber and In general construction. The total consumed by the Connecticut wood -using industries in 1910, including lumber purchased from other states, amounted to 110 feet. The amount of wood taken from the forests in forms other than lumber has been only roughly estimated, but the quantity of lumber annually milled in Connecticut has been determined for some years. This is the first attempt to follow the lumber from the sawmill through the factories. The information here presented shows the relations between the wood - using industries of Connecticut and her forests. It also shows to what extent the State's native resources are drawn upon to meet home requirements, and to what extent manufacturers draw from outside. This report is intended to answer the question of what becomes Of the seventy-two or seventy-three million feet of rough lum ber that are used each year in Connecticut's wood - using factories. It also discusses properties of the various woods that fit them for use in certain industries and the products made from these woods. It gives the average cost of lumber delivered at the factory, both home - grown and shipped - in material. The prices given, it must be remembered, are not market prices, but are merely an average computed from many different grades and forms of each kind of wood reported.

Excerpt from Wood-Using Industries: Of New York New York is especially favored among the States climatically' and otherwise for the production of forests. Favorable condition's of rain fall and. Soil for splendid forest development exist throughout the State. It is now known that every acre in the forest areas, where there is any soil whatever, will ultimately produce good forests. There is no reason why the Adirondacks should not eventually be covered with as fine a forest as can now be found anywhere in the Black, Forest or other forest regions in Europe. Again, market conditions are unexcelled. The forest sections of the State are well equipped with streams and are easily accessible by rail.

Excerpt from Primary Wood-Product Industries of Southern New England, 1971 Forest industries used 21 million cubic feet of roundwood from southern New England timberlands during 1971. Hardwoods, mainly oaks, made up slightly more than 50 percent of the total. Sawlogs were the leading forest product, and pulpwood ranked second in volume of wood processed. Other products that made up a minor portion of the harvest were posts and pilings; holtwood for shingles, handles, and dimension products; veneer and cooperage logs; and charcoal wood.

Excerpt from The Timber Supply of the United States The total quantity of wood cut to obtain the products listed in the table was not less than 20 billion cubic feet. Rapidly-as the population of the United States has increased, the lumber consumption has increased still more rapidly. In round num bers, and allowing for incomplete reports, the lumber cut in 1880 was 18 billion feet; in 1890, 24 billion feet, and in 1900, 35 billion feet. The increase in population from 1880 to 1900 was 52 per cent, but in lumber cut 94 pei cent. The United States is now using annually 400 board feet of lumber per capita while the average for Europe is but 60 feet per capita. Table 2 affords a better understanding of the vast amount of lumber used. This gives the lumber cut of the principal States since 1880. The figures for 1880, 1890, 1900, and 1905 are those compiled by the census; the total cut is estimated by assuming an average out between census dates. This brings the total cut since 1880 to more than 7 00 billion feet - a truly astonishing figure when we stop to consider it. This quantity of lumber would make a floor 1 inch thick over Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Delaware, or an area of square miles.

Excerpt from 1875-1925 Semi-Centennial of the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station The station established an experimental forest for the study of forest problems, aided in the planting of private and corp-oration forests, besides giving advice by addresses and field demonstra tions in the management of the farmer's wood lot. These illustrations, by no means a summary, give some idea of the range of the station's work and Show how it has gradually become a public service agency. While designed solely for the benefit of agriculture and while its main effort is directed to that end, circumstances have drawn it, in several directions into the service of the whole community.
