Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wood Use by Manufacturing Firms in Minneapolis and St. Paul Farmer Brown cannot prosper by producing brown eggs when the house wife buying his eggs wants white ones. The farmer must, therefore, either find a way to make his chickens lay white eggs or find markets for his brown ones. Forest products producers are faced With much the same problem. At present, Minnesota has large surpluses of hardwood timber. Although the total volume of timber has increased, much of the increase has been in presently low-valued species such as elm, aspen, ash, and paper birch. For example, in 1953 the Forest Survey estimated the annual allowable cut of aspen sawtimber at million board feet, while the amount cut was only 44 million board feet. Farmer Brown by knowing the facts of the egg market may be able to find purchasers who could use brown eggs as well as white ones. Perhaps he may find that his eggs must be graded or sent to market in different quantities, or that a market exists where he did not expect to find one. Forest managers, lumber operators, and firms purchasing lumber may all profit by the same type of information about lumber markets. Recently the Division of Forestry of the Minnesota Department of Conservation, and the Lake States Forest Experiment Station cooperated in a study designed, first, to find the best means of collecting lumber consumption data, and second, to determine the volume and characteristics of the lumber used by manufacturing industries in Minneapolis and St. Paul. Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture. The Station is maintained in St. Paul 1, Minn., in cooperation With the University of Minnesota. The Twin Cities manufacturing industries were chosen for the study since they are heavy, though discriminating, users of lumber in manu facture, shipping, and storage, and they provide a market for timber cut in this area. In a sense, these industries represent the last part of the market chain-yet a very important part since they decide what amounts and kinds of lumber will be purchased.
