Book Description

Excerpt from Regional Development of Pulpwood Resources of the Tongass National Forest Alaska Within the last 10 years, he points out, the Forest Service has brought about the sale of feet of saw timber in the National Forests of Alaska.' The Department of Agriculture believes that the development of the forest and water-power resources of Alaska is a practicable means of increasing the supplies of newsprint available for the United States, and therefore of eventually lessening the paper shortage now so acute. The National Forests of Alaska probably contain cords of timber suitable for the manufacture of newsprint and other grades of paper. Under careful management these Forests can produce cords of pulpwood annually for all time, or enough to manufacture one-third of the pulp products now consumed in the United States.
