tie I That is the publicly expressed
opinion among tlie experts in every
line of business connected with build-
ing. They say among other things:
That the demand for homes in the
United States is nation-wide.
That 800,000 homes should have
been built at the normal rate'in the
last, two _ years and that only 50,000
were actually built, leaving a short-
age that is estimated at fully 750,000 homes.
That from 500,000 to 550,000 hom$s must be now
built yearly to make up the shortage and to get
back to the normal rate.
That 50,000,000 feet of lumber, board measure,
will have to be cut yearly, instead of 40,000,000
feet, which is the normal rate.
That an increase In the lumber output of 10,-
000,000 feet a year will certainly make the lum-
berjack hustle.
The experts do not agree as to figures in all
cases. But it is evident that the shortage in
homes Is very large. At the recent real estate
convention in Atlantic City inadequate housing
facilities were reported from ail parts of the
country and the shortage In homes wds put at
1,000,000.
Again, it should be remembered that the or-
dinary demands" of manufacturers for lumber are
also to lie met.
That the demand of devastated Europe for
lumber will undoubtedly stimulate export from
this coenti-y.
While all the lumberjacks of the country will
have to hustle, it looks as If the biggest activity
will be demanded from the lumberjacks of the
Pacific coast, where most of the lumber comes
from nowadays.
The pictures show scenes In Idaho and Wash-
ington. The mountain lumber camp Is 4,000 feet
up in northern Idaho and there ?s still snow on
the ground in June. The trainload of logs Is on
a narrow-gauge road in the Idaho pine forests
near Fern wood. The three magnificent yellow
pines are in a logging, region near Spokane. Yel-
low pTnP Is rrie' Tiriorfpin source ~of lum7Ter~"Tn
eastern Washington. The normal production of
yellow pine is abont 10.000.000,000 feet (board
measure) a year. Tt is figured that this output
will have to be increased to abiSut 20>,OW,000.000
feet. Some of the-white pine trees near Spokane
are five feet in diameter and 175 feet high. The
largest white pine heft left in the United States
is In northern Idaho. . Some of the largest and

It may lenrl to action by the federal government.
The d'Tifirirnent of labor, fn announcing fn .Tan-
nary that 500.000 new dwelling houses were need-
ed, had this to say:
"Two billion dollars, available for lossns to

Securities of a vitlne approximating .$2,000,-
000,000 arw held fey the eonstitutent organizations
In the United States Leagne of Building and Loan
Associations. Labor conditions, manufacturing,
and social needs clearly indicate the desirability
of an immediate acceleration of building activi-
ties throughout the country.
"By making available capital necessary to
building, a tentative plan may materialize In a
national system of 'home loan banks.* The plan
contemplates' the creation of a bank In ear-h fed-
eral neserve district, similar to the land banks
created under the federal farm loan act, with
which a local building and loan association could
deposit collateral, receiving in exchange home
loan bonds.". ,v :
The announcement has been made in Washing-
ton by LouiS K. Sherman, president of the United
States Housing corporation, that the land In vari-
ous cities which was to have been utilized by the
government in its war emergency building pr6-
grjim Is to be sold, to home seekers for the erec-
tion Of private houses. The conditions governing
the sale of SUch property are that there is a real
demand for houses in the community and that the
construction of homes will be started immediately
following the Sale. The lots are to be sold pub-
licly. Complete sets of plans, prepared by arch- •
lteets for the housing corporation, will be fup
Dished with the various lots.

house the same principles of standardization,
machine, factory and quantity production that
are employed by all other great industries.
"Most experts agree that the real crux of the
industrial housing problem lies not in land cost,
taxes or interest rates, but In the house itself—
the cost of construction. The investment in
~TniTr(inig^nT!i5'Trtrere""from™thTee""tO""ten~ttmes~-Hte-
cost of the land, and Is therefore Uie dominant
item and the most potent factor in the entire
problem. It is all very well to eliminate the
waste in the other factors—waste of time, labor
or material—but if the productivity of human
labor and capital in construction can be increased
the re>ult would be a real step toward the solu-
tion of the difficulty and the benefits of such an
• economy would accrue to all parties Involved.
"That the 'ready-made' house will come event-
ually is evident from the progress made. The
first experimental building designed to . demon-
strate the principle of standardization and fac-
tory production was successfully erected in 1909.
Since then the work of demonstration and de-
velopment has proceeded, with the general result
always pointing, In my judgment, to the sound-
ness of the principles and their ultimate success.
"The help we need ought to come from gov-
ernment research department established fO£ that
purpose. This department would have to bear
the same relation to housing, which Is commodity,
that the department of agriculture bears to wheat
or the bureau of mines to minerals. In other
words, the housing of the Industrial army is as
important In peace as that of;ithe munition work-
ers In war tih'es or the fighting units themselves.
And for these purposes the government spent
hundreds of millions of dollars—and established
a special department. It is a fair question wheth-
er the Importance of the problem today does not
justify the establishment of a permanent bureau
of housing."
—"What effeet will this Increased activity of the
lumberjack have on our lumber supply?" is an im-
portant question.
The exportation of American lumber on the
scale likely to result from the European demand
for material will, unless accompanied by provi-
sion for regrowth, seriously deplete the supplies
needed by home industries and impose hardships
-on the consuming public here, is the view of Henry
S. Graves, chief of the United States forest serv-
ice. «

using industries, the lumbermen and all interested

oFpzttgnfiPAffo
"The United Slates, standing second among the
countries of tiie world in forest area and produc-
ing more I turn half of .the sawed lumber,, should
play a more important part in the export trade
of the world than it docs now. With proper safe-
guards in the way of maintaining the raw ma-
terials, a strong export trade should be encour-
aged. But the gains which we may make In the
markets of the world can be kept only In so far
as they are based on a permanent supply of tim-
ber. ^If they are to be based merely on a cut
which, as In the case of old-growth southern pine,
will not supply even our domestic needs for more
than the next ten or fifteen years, we shall soon
be crowded out of the foreign markets by coun-
tries which ha^e their export trade on a continu-
ous self-perpetuating resource."
Europe's emergency need for lumber, above Its
cmisumpfr<Tri in normal times, ts put at abdut
7,000,000,000 feet of lumber a year for the near
future, a conservative estimate; and her own for-
ests have been depleted by the war.
Europe, however, needs cheap lumber above all,
and our product will not he attractive for the
principal needs of reconstruction, according to
Colonel Graves, Nevertheless, the world situa-
tion in lumber, he says, offers "an undoubted op-
portunity for a permanent export trade from this
country of proportions that*-vs'ould seem to be ,
limited only by our own powers to sustain tk©
production of saw material."
Senator Sherman presented to the senate the
other day a memorial from the Illinois legisla-
ture, which was-iii part as follows: ,
"Whereas the wood-using Industries not de-
pending upon uncertain local forest supplies have
become centered to a very large extent" In the
thickly populated districts east of the Mississippi
river and are drawing their supplies from the
remaining forests in the eastern states, the gulf
states and the states adjacent to the Great Lakes.
A large number of such industries are located in
the state of Illinois,, with the city of Chicago tlie
center of a Very large and Important group. Chi-
cago has for many years been the chief lumber
distribution point of the United States and the
greatest point of lumber distribution In the world.
These Important industries, including the manu-
facture of railway cars boxes, sashes and doors,
farm machinery, furniture, pianos, vehicles, and
many other articles, are now threatened,, by the
exhaustion of the forests from which their suo-
plies have been drawn. They now face the neces-
sity of bringing timber from the Pacific coast
with heavy freight charges added to the cost. To
the same Pacific coast supply the country must
look for lumber for general construction purposes.
The transportation system of the country must
add to its present burdens the transcontinental
shipment of very large quantities of lumber, a
bulky product upon which a high freight rate
greatly Increases the cost to the odlhrnmerl'
"Resolved, That the Flfty-flrgt:/fe«nnrni\pgpmhlv
of the state of Illinois urges the atten|f@iof the
president and the congress of ,the, UnlWjrStates
to the present tlmbef situation and recommends
that, without delay, there be formulated such a,
national program of forestry as Will insure the
future timber ^supplies required by the Industries
of the country. As an example of jvhat: should be
