A Good Chance for Timber Dealers.
All of the chestnut trees on the
State forests were thrown on the mar-
ket on Wednesday by Gifford Pinchot,
the chief forester of Pennsylvania.
He declared he was convinced they
could not survive the blight which has
caused widespread destruction among
the trees of that species during the
last ten years. Forester Pinchot said
he was ready to receive offers for the
removal of chestnut timber from any
of the State forests. Explaining that
the chestnut trees are rapidly dying
from the effect of the blight, Forester
Pinchot said he desired to clean up the
diseased timber so that the forests
will be better able to grow healthy
and desirable trees of other species.
Furthermore, it was pointed out, the
removal of the trees that will eventu-
ally die and fall will also eliminate a
vast fire trap, which is of paramount
importance in the State forests.
L. E. Staley, chief of the Depart-
ment’s bureau of operation, who will
handle the timber sales, said there
are excellent opportunities now to cut
and market the chestnut timber. The
telephone pole market is active; the
extract companies are buying large
quantities of chestnut timber, chest-
nut shingles are in demand because of
the high prices of other roofing ma-
terials, and there is a brisk market
in barrel and keg staves made of
chestnut. Mine and railroad cross
ties are selling well, and there is an
unprecedented demand for building
materials manufactured from chest-
nut. .
Mr. Staley said the proposed sale
was not an attempt to stem the prog-
ress of the blight—that hope has
passed. It is merely a movement to-
ward better forestry in Pennsylvania.
