Excerpt from Wood as a Crop in Illinois In Illinois all users of wood pr\oducts are faced with rapidly rising prices, because the most important sources of supply are becoming more and more distant as the nearer sources are exhausted, and because the United States as a whole is using up annually four times as much wood as is being grown in the forests of the country. We are, in short, in the early stages of a timber famine that is certain to become more serious except as intelligent remedies are adopted, both nationally and locally. At the same time that we advocate a conservation program for the whole country, we must look to the Woodlands of our own state for all possible relief.
