Pulpwood production and use in southern forest survey territory, 1946

Abstract

The great expansion of the wood pulp and paper industry in the South is one of the major developments in the United States forest scene in recent years. Since 1936, when the current expansion started, wood-pulping capacity in the 12 southern States from Virginia to Texas has nearly quadrupled--the result of new mill construction and expansion of existing mills. About half of United States wood-pulping capacity is no in the South. The annual value of the finished products of the industry in the South is three-quarters of a billion dollars.
