PuIpwood Production
Readies High Peak
PuIpwood production in Virginia for 1350 exceeded 1,000,000 cords, but increases in other south eastern states dropped Virginia to fourth place.
J. W. O'Byrne says that of the cords produced in Virginia, 775,000 were of pine; 240,573 of various hardwoods; and 19,455 of chestnut that was also worked for tannic acid.
By counties, the distribution ranged from more than 75,000 cords in Buckingham to none in Bland, Buchanan, Dickenson, and Tazewell, (where mine\ props have better sale than pulpwood) and a, few other counties where there is little timber, Twelve counties produced more than 25,000 cords.
Although pines still predominate, there is a significant increase in the amount of hardwoods being used. In Alleghany, Amherst and 'Buckingham, hardwoods exceed pine, while in several other counties they are. a considerable proportion of the cut.
OIByrne sees “ this as a healthy trend. Hardwoods are preferred for some grades of paper, and can be used more extensively for' others.
The amount of caah paid out last year for pulpwood cut In Virginia and delivered to the mill or Siding, was well over $14,000,0(H). And pulpwood makes up less than 16 percent of the total cut.
