Book excerpt: Excerpt from Second Annual Report of the New Hampshire Forestry Commission, 1894, Vol. 1: Part II A comparison of the pulp industry with the lumber busi ness must be invidious to those controlling the former. N 0 student of forestry can avoid the knowledge that with scarcely an exception the owners Of pulp mills conduct their business with utter recklessness so far as the future of the forest is concerned. Competition in the lumber business has made it desirable and profitable for the mill-owner to manu facture only from large sized logs, while competition in the pulp business has led to a diametrically Opposite result, and calls for trees of the most diminutive size while it rejects as waste products of the forest which might be easily and profitably utilized. Speaking broadly, it may be safely asserted with reference to the economic management of our forested areas that it is not what is used but what is wasted that causes the greater loss. It is this fact that emphasizes the difference between German forestry and American lum bering. The German forester rarely markets less than eighty per cent. Of his tree product. The American lum berman rarely markets more than twenty per cent. Of his tree product. To be sure, the social conditions in Germany and America are utterly unlike, and the scarcity of fuel which in Germany tends to make ready market for every limb, twig, and even root of the spruce tree, has never ex isted here. American conditions have thus far prompted the Operator to seize only that kind of timber which was most advantageous and profitable for him to work, and have led him to treat as worthless that which might have swelled his profits to a considerable degree.
