Excerpt from How the United States Can Meet Its Present and Future Pulpwood Requirements For a number of reasons the problem of timber supply for pulp and paper manufacture has become more serious than it is for most wood-using industries. Relatively large plant investments make it much more difficult for paper mills to follow the retreating timber stands than is the case with lumber manufacture. Comparatively few woods have been used in paper making. These factors and the requirement, in one of the most important pulp processes, of abundant and cheap power have so far confined the production of paper to but few timber regions. Pulp manufacture in these regions has in general followed lumbering, and starting with diminished supplies of timber has reduced them still further. A stage has now been reached where many pulp and paper mills have either no timber of their own or only very limited amounts, and few have permanent supplies. Concern for future pulp-wood supplies and their relationship to the entire national forest problem led the American Paper and Pulp Association to form a special Committee on the perpetuation of the pulp and paper industry in the United States. The committee requested the Forest Service to make an investigation, the results of which are incorporated in this report.
