AMERICAN PULPWOOD ASSOCIATION

SOUTHERN PULPWOOD PRODUCTION IN 1973 increased 6 p e r c e n t t o over 47 .1 million cords--over 66 percent of the Nation's total. Plant byproducts used for pulping made the la rges t volume gain in his tory and now account for 27 percent of the total pulpwood production. Southern pulpwood was processed a t 126 mills, of which 111 a r e i n the South. Pulping capacity in the 12 Southern States r o s e 5 percent to 92,255 tons per day.

In 1973, pulpwood production in the South totaled 47,106,609 cords, an increase of 6 percent f rom 1972. All s tates reported production gains except Arkansas, which declined 1 percent (table 1). Wood res i - dues, primarily softwoods, accounted for 65 percent of the increase. Of the remain- der , hardwood roundwood accounted for 54 percent, while s o f t w o o d roundwood ac- counted for 46 p e r c e n t . Six s t a t e s - - Mississippi, Virginia, Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina, and T e x a s--reported 79 percent of the increase. By state, Missis- sippi led in production gains with 735,300 cords, followed by Virginia and Georgia with i n c r e a s e s of over 300,000 cords. Georgia continued to lead the South in pulp- - . - wood production, reporting over 7.8 million cords, while the second leading producer-- Alabama--r e p o r t e d almost 7.2 million cords. By Experiment Station terr i tory, the Midsouth produced over 3 million cords more pulpwood t h a n the Southeast. The Southeast led only in softwood roundwood production. P u 1 p w o o d production in the South has doubled in the past 14 years and currently contrihutes about two-thirds of the Nation's domestic production.

On the other hand, oaks have more than tripled in use, while the output of other hardwoods has increased by 80 percent. Virginia posted a 2-percent in- c rease in softwood roundwood production af te r a 7-year decline, primarily a s a r e - sult of increased harvesting in the Pied- mont, but softwood output continued to de-

Softwood roundwood production was cline in the Coastal Plain. Arkansas and 25.3 million cords, o r 73 percent of the Tennessee were the only states that did not total (table 2). Of the remainder, 46 per- report a n increase in roundwood produc- cent was oaks, 30 percent was gums, and tion (table 3). Softwood roundwood pro- other hardwoods made up 24 percent.

the Midsouth by over 890,000 cords, while hardwood roundwood in the Midsouth su r - passed that of the Southeast by almost 1.9 million cords (table 4).

The use of plant byproducts continued to i n c r e a s e in the South. In 1973, the largest volume ever reported-- 12.7 million cords--was p r o d u c e d (table 5), and by- products now represent 27 percent of the total pulpwood production. Softwood res i - due increased almost 1.4 million cords, o r 16 percent, while h a r d w o o d output rose 455,000 cords, o r 23 pe rce~ . t (table 6).

Residue in the form of chips accounted for 91 percent of the receipts, with over 80 percent coming from softwood. During the past decade, there has been a significant increase in the use of other residues for pulping. In 1964, o n l y 2 percent of the residue receipts was f r o m this source, while in 1973 almost 9 percent of the by- product o u t p u t was from other residues, pr imari ly sawdust. Sawdust in 1973 ac- counted for over 60 percent of the volume of other residues. Residue production in the Midsouth was almost 2.4 million cords, o r 45 percent greater than in the Southeast.

In 1973, 78 counties o r par ishes r e - ported roundwood production in excess of 100,000 cords , with 54 of these being lo- cated in the Midsouth (county production tables 7-19). Alabama led the South with 20 counties, followed by Louisiana with 13 par ishes . Mississippi and South Carolina each had eight, while Texas recorded sev- en. Flor ida and G e o r g i a each had six counties, with Taylor County, Florida, r e - porting the South's largest 'production of over 247,000 cords . Choctaw, Clarke, and

Conecuh Counties in Alabama, ana Sabine Pa r i sh , Louisiana, r e p o r t e d roundwood production in excess of 200,000 cords each. Production of softwood exceeded 100,000 cords in 30 counties, while only two coun- ties--Choctaw and Clarke--in Alabama r e - ported over 100,000 c o r d s of hardwood roundwood.

In 1973, 126 mills processed south- e r n pulpwood, 1 5 of which were located outside the South (table 19). In general , the majority of these 15 mil ls received southern plant byproducts only. The 111 I

mil l s in the South had pulping capacit ies totaling 92,255 tons per day, an increase of i 5 percent. Over two-thirds of the increase was f r o m expansion and modernization of existing facil i t ies. More than 60 percent of the increase in pulping capacity was in the Midsouth. Arkansas and Virginia r e - corded a slight decline in pulping capacity. In Virginia, one mi l l converted to proc- ess ing wastepaper. Four new mil ls be- ! came operational i n 1973, with a combined pulping capacity of almost 1,400 tons per day. Construction is underway on four new ~ ~ mil l s in the South, which will add an addi- tional 1,800 tons per day (table 20). In ad- dition, many companies a r e either expand- ing o r modernizing, indicating that the pulp industry has regained the growth momen- t um that existed during the sixties.

Bellamy, Thomas R. 1974. Southern pulpwood production, 1973. Southeast.

For . Exp. Stn., USDA For. Serv. Resour. Bull. SE-29, 22 p.

Southern pulpwood production in 1973 increased 6 percent to over 47.1 million cords--over 66 percent of the Nation's total. Plant byproducts used for pulping made the largest volume gain in history and now account for 27 percent of the total pulpwood production. Southern pulpwood was processed at 126 mills, of which 111 a r e in the South. Pulping capacity i n the 12 Southern States rose 5 percent to 92,255 tons per day.

The Forest Service, U. S. Department

of Agriculture, is dedicated to the

principle of multiple use management

of the Nation's forest resources for

sustained yields of wood, water, for-

age, wildlife, and recreation. Through

forestry research, cooperation with

the States and private forest owners,

and management of the National

Forests and National Grasslands, it

strives-as directed by Congress-

to provide increasingly greater service

to a growing Nation.
