WHAT WILL
NORTH
CAROLINA
DO
ABOUT THIS PULPWOOD SHORTAGE?
Latest reports show North Carolina has fallen behind in its response to the government's appeal for more pulpwood.
The situation is so acute that some North Carolina pulp mills might shut down. There are implications in this that should give serious concern to every North Carolina farmer and business man. Is North Carolina going to lose its standing in this important industry?
Manpower is a problem. The only problem is to get men to cut it. But this problem has been solved in other sections by getting farmers to cut pulpwood in slack seasons and by recruiting men released by other war industries. It can be solved here. A large area of North Carolina is in forest - much of it suitable for pulpwood.
An Industry with a Future
Pulpwood is playing a vital part in the war. But many of the new war-time developments in pulpwood products have equally brilliant peace-time potentialities. There is every indication that expanding civilian demands will absorb every available cord as fast as military requirements release it.
The 6th Largest Industry
Here is an industry that can mean a great source of revenue for North Carolina farmers; new factories for the towns; thousands of jobs for returning service men; increased prosperity for all.
Here is an industry that is already Sixth largest in the country and on the verge of great expansion. Does North Carolina intend to hold its place in this great industry?
Will North Carolina do its share now to meet this war emergency?
