Abstract
The purpose of this analysis is to review past experience and to evaluate current trends in the consumption of wood and other important forest products in the United States, in order to throw as much light as possible on what the Nation's normal needs for such products, translated into terms of timber, may be in the future. The study therefore has to do only with effective demand for forest products as commodities of consumption, leaving to other discussions the needs of the Nation for forests for such purposes as regulation of stream flow, control of erosion, recreation, and fostering of wild life.
