LARGE QUANTITYIS NOW ON HAND

Numerous Pine Mills ClosingDown for Want of

Demand

New Orleans, La., Nov. 20-In his

statement to the senate committee on

reconstruqtion at its hearing here to-

day, J. E. Rhodes, secretary managerof the Southern Pine association of the

that the average production of the

mills which are members of the asso-

ciation is now about 380,000 feet per

week, as emopared with 520,000 feet

at this time a year ago. In. additionto this curtailment, a large number of

small local mills have discontinuedoperations. In spite of the redsazed

output, production is still in excess

of orders and shipments. There hasnever been a time since the associationwas organized that demand for lum-

ber has been as light. Since lastMarch, prices have declined from 30to 50 per cent, depending upon thegrade, and are now generally below

the average cost of production.

'The producing capacity of the'Southern Pine mills is enormous, morethan sufficient to takd care of any de-mand which is likely to develop," said'Mr. Rhodes.

Mr. Rhodes' statement in full fol-lows:

"The subject assigned to me is "thesupply of lumber, from which I as-sume that it is desired by those whoprepared the program of topics for

your 'consideration at this hearing thatI should give you some information_concerning the quantity of lumbernow available for building purposes.

All Lumber Necessary"It is hardly necessary to take more

of your time than to say that manu-facturers of yellow pine in the south-ern states can furnish all the lum-ber necessary to meet any demandthat is likely to develop for the con-struction of homes and industrialbuildings in this country. The produc-ing capacity of the southern pine mills

At 2:00 a. m.. on the morning ofNovember 25th the fires were lightedin over 300 galleys in the U. S.

is enormous and has never been utiliz-

ed to the utmost, even to supply thedemand of the government for lumber

for war needs. We have a record of

more thaii 5,300 saw mills, located in

the southern pine prolucing territory,from Virginia to Texas, extendingacross the gulf states. The great ma-

j:ity of these are, of course, smallmills, only four hundred mills rep-resenting about 60 per cent of the

product. The production of southernpine lumber in 1918 was 10.845,000,000feet, according to the figures 'of the

forest service. Last year it was about

the same.Enormous Stock on Hand

"In Novemhber, 1916, 180 mills whichare subscribers to the Southern Pineassociation, reported a total stock onhand of 1,449,729.822 feet, the larg-est which had been reported In sev-eral years. In April, 1917, the UnitedStates entered the war, and from thatdate until November, 1918, when thearmistice was signed, the various de-partments of the government took ap-proximately three and one-quarter bil-lion feet for the building of cahton-ments ,army camps, etc.

"The total amount of lumber re-ported held by 196 mills November 1.1919, was 933,246.614 feet. The small-est stocks of lumber reported by thesemills was in September, 1919 whenthey had on hand a total of 818,219,-596, or a little more than one-half asmuch as they had in November of1916.

Amount on Hand Increases"There has been a gradual increase

in the amount of lumber on hand sincelast fall, so that the total stock of themills reporting to the association nowamounts to 1,355,236,351 feet. Therehas been an increae in the total stockreported by the association of 421,-989,737 feet, or 45.22 per cent over theamount reported held by the samemills November 1, 1919. Comparedwith stocks of previous years, this isa slight increase over normal.

The cooks always-outdo them-selves on a National holiday, but anyday in the week or year you -find thegalley working to turn out thosewholesome strength giving meals forwhich the navy is noted.

In the upper picture you see the

"Less southern pine lumber is now

being manufactured than at any timefor many years, due to the marked de-

cline in demand since last M:tarh.

Nearly if noL all of the smal Ilocal

mills have closed down. and many of

the largerones and many of the lat-

ter are also running on reduced time.

Because sales hat e declined to less

than half normal demand stocks are

accumulating,' and those mills . still

opjracing are confronted with the

problem of discontinuing operations

altogether and allowing their crews

to become scattered and disorganized,

or piling up lumber at a cost which

they believe is greater than they will

be likely to sell the stock for in the

immediate future. Lumber is now be-

ing sold for something less than aver-

age cost of production.

"If conditions are propitious for the

resumption of building activities next

spring, the mills will be very prompt

to start their saws, and, as stated at

the outset, can supply the demand

that is likely to be made upon them.

Plenty for All Needs

"Therefore so far as the supply of

southern pine is concerned, the very

greatly delayed, building program of

the country need not be postponed or

restricted because of the shortage of

lumber necessary for all constructionpurposes.

"As the statistical and economic.

status of the southern pine industry

was very fully ,presented to you by Mr.

Chase S. Keith at your hearing at Kan-

sas City, Wednesday, I will not con-

sume the time of the committee furth-

er unless there may be additional in-

formation you desire."
