A Key Forecast and Its
Implications for Georgia
Facts, figures and forecasts
from the new Chief of the U.
S. Forest Service have gamed
wide attention in Georgia be
cause of their potential signi
ficance to She state's economy.
On January 21, Foresit Ser
vice Chief Edward P. Cliff,
Washington, D. C. issued this
statement to the Southern Pine
Association:
“The South, in my opinion,
is destined to see its forestry
and timber activities continue
to expand in the future, with
increasing benefits to the re
gion's total economy and all of
its citizens. Great strides have
been made in recent years in
many directions; it has con
sistently led the Nation in tree
planting, and Southern Pine
sawtimber now exceeds the
growth of any other species in
the country.
“And its full potential—as a
forestry and timber producing
region—still lies ahead. I be
lieve the South will eventually
at least double its present out
put of forest products while
continuing to increase its tim
ber reserves. No other region
in the country is better suited
to fulfill this potential.”
The significance of this
statement, from a local stand
point, is obvious. Georgia is
one of the nation’s leading pro
ducers of lumber, paper and
other forest products, it is also
one of the nation’s leading
“tree farming’’ states. More
than a hundred thousand Geor
gians are directly or indirect
ly dependent on timber for a
livelihood.
Georgia’s ability to advance
its forest economy to the levels
envisioned by Mr. Cliff, de
pends on a number of different
factors.
To realize its opportunities,
Georgia must expand the pres
ent markets for its lumber and
find new ones. Future trends
in construction and in the use
of building materials will have
a strong bearing on develop
ments in this area.
In this connection, Mr. Cliff
is inclined to an optimistic
viewpoint. “The time will
come,” he says, “When the Na
tion will need far more lum
ber and wood products than it
now produces. As our popu
lation grows, the needs will in
crease, and among these needs
is wood—one of the basic and
most universal raw materials."
How Good Were
The Old Days?
Five pounds of sugar for 27
cents! Butter 39 cents, 10 cents
a quart for milk, pork chops at 23
cents a pound and a peck of po
tatoes for 33 cents! Remember
these prices?
Housewives in Atlanta were pay
ing those prices in most markets
in the spring of 1913. That’s the
year the Department of Labor was
established and the Department,
then as now, priced these f<x>ds
and other items bought by work
ers’ families every month.
Today, as the Department cele
brates its 50th Anniversary, pri
ces are much higher, of course.
Just last Qill the average national t
price for pork chops was 84 cents
a pound, 80 cents for butter, 28
cents a quart for milk, 61 cents for
10 pounds of potatoes fabout 5
pounds less than a peck) and 57
cents for 5 pounds of sugar.
Before nostalgia overtakes you, I
however, look at wages then and
now, based on figures also avail- 1
able from the Department’s Bur
eau of Labor Statistics. In May, 1
1913, the union wage scale for
bricklayers was 45 cents an hour
in Atlanta. Union rate for hod car-1
rlers was 28 cents and union car-1
penters were getting 40 cents.
The last BLS survey of these
wage scales in January, 1963.
showed these rates: Bricklayers
*4.30 an hour, building laborers
*2.20, and carpenters $3.65.
These figures come from two
of the many statistical programs
which the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics conducts. One major pur
pose of all these programs is to
help the Department see how well
it is carrying out the directive
from the Congress that established
the Department of Labor 50 years |
ago on March 4, 1913: “To foster, !
promote and develop the welfare
of the wage earners of the United
States, to improve their working
conditions and to advance their
opportunities for profitable em
ployment.”
(Largest Coverage Any Weekly IS The State)
Such words are encouraging.
But Georgia lumbermen are
not counting on population
growth alone to provide the
necessary expansion of mar
kets. Their main reliance is on
high standards of manufacture,
product inipiovemient, and on
the reduction of construction
costs through the efficiency of
quality materials.
Georgia’s chief tree species
—Southern Pine — is the
strongest of structural woods.
Many things are being done at
the mills to utilize this advan
tage in adapting the product
to now and improved systems
of building. For example,
“seasoning"—a process of dry
ing and pre-shrinking which
assures stability and greatly
increases the natural wood
strength.
Since proper seasoning has
been standardized in the manu
facture of Southern Pine, the
product is well geared to mod
ern methods of building which
require materials of exception
al strength and precision. Com
ponents construction is a prune
example. This involves the use
of pre - assembled, precision
parts to make home building
a more efficient, more econo
mical operation.
Several Georgia firms are
already specializing in the pro
duction of components with
Southern Pine. At least one
company in the state has com
menced the manufacture of
beams and arches of glued lam
inated lumber.
Georgia’s lumber industry is
matching research activity with
promotional investment. An in
tensive effort is underway to
inform the building trade at
home and elsewhere of the
adaptability of the state’s lum
ber products to modern forms
of construction.
Strong “plus” factors are the

Atlanta (Special) — Latest
developments in cotton mark
eting and textile processing
will be discussed at the 1963
Cotton Marketing Conference-
Research Clinic here April 9-
11.
Sponsored by the National
Cotton Council, the meeting at
the Dinkier Plaza will feature
19 speakers. It is expected to
attract 300-400 cotton merch
ants, textile mill executives,
ginners, farmers and research
workers from the Belt and
other sections of the nation.
Program topics will include
developments i n measuring
cotton quality, advances in
spinning techniques, moisture
control in ginning, seed cotton
storage as an aid to orderly
ginning, and better methods of
testing spinning performance.
The two meetings are held
jointly in alternate years be
cause of the close kinship bet

keting and those in textile

extensiveness and quality of
Georgia’s timber resources.
Despite a large output of
lumber, paper and other forest
products, good forest manage
ment is so well entrenched to
day that the sawtlmber volume
is showing a constant, healthy
increase. As of January 1,
Georgia had 6,451,098 acres of
well - managed “tree farms” —
more than any other state in
the union. The steady improve
ment in forest supply is due,
in no small measure, to the
foresight of the forest products
industries in sharing tiheir
knowledge with farmers and
other small owners of forest
land. In the aggregate, these
small holdings represisnl the
majority share of the total
commercial forest area. Getting
them into full tree production
is the real key to realization of
the ultimate growth potential.
Mr. Cliff observes that the
“modern crop of Southern
Pine, produced under good
forestry practices, has quality
as well as quantity. This qual
ity is unproving—so much so,
in fact, that it will lead to
many new and improved uses
of wood as a building material.
“One indication of the trend
toward higher quality timber
is the interest, now developed,
in the establishment of a
Southern Pine plywood indus
try. This may mean a major
new use of Southern Pine. Sev
eral companies are now mak
ing plans for the construction
of plants and commercial
standaids are being develop
ed. Technical infwmation has
been developed at the Forest
Service's Forest Products La
boratory. In addition, large
scale commercial tests have
been made by some companies.
“Forest surveys in several
states of the deep South Show
that Southern Pine in the 12
to 20 inch diameter class are
increasing, deepHe continuing
quantity harvest of sawlogs
and pulpwood. So, the grow
ing scarcity elsewhere of large
logs for veneer, the technologi
cal and scientific advances and
the rapid production of second
growth Southern Pine—all of
these have combined to bring
about this major new industrial
potential for the South.”
