HM Our Daily Bread Sliced Thin by The Editor H. Wafthburn Newsprint Consumption Figures Show Need for More Mills in South Reports from 1,437 daily papers in the continental United States show they used a combined total of 5,289,458 Ions of newsprint in 1953. according to a bulletin from the American Newspaper Publishers association. This is not UK- whole picture, but pretty close In it. The ANPA estimates its figures are 80.11 cent of the probable total, which it believes will bo 6,142,897.

This is a reasonable deduction becausp ANPA's questionnaire missed several hundred small dailies and all the weeklies. The reason know about the ANPA figures is that I filed The Star's 1853 consumption figures, even though we are a small paper, and in return for this I got a copy of thn U. summary. It is ibroken down by states only, and the figures should be interesting to limber folks and all the people who live in a timber-growing, region such as ours. The most newsprint was used by New York state, with 888.00!) tons.

No. 2 consumer was California with 491,307. Third was Illinois with 458,860. Pennsylvania was fpurth with and Ohio mill with 318.000. Arkansas' total newsprint draw was relatively insignificant, onlv 20,113 tons.

However. Mississippi'. 1 figure was but a fraction of ours. 8.584. You realize, of course, that the geographical location of a state, and particularly the position of major cities near the state's boundry in adjoining commonwealths, have a direct effect on newsprint figures.

For instance, Louisiana, possessing a major city. New Orleans, and being virtually Immune; to penetration by major newspapers from any other stato. rolls up a newsprint consumption figure of 07,730 tons. That is to say. the newsprint on which Louisiahans get their daily news was consumed Star Arkansas: ness this day wtffi local tonight of Frid this afternoon, fioon.

by presses actually located in Louisiana. Our Arkansas figure is considerably depressed because the Little Rock papers have no substantial circulation in the eastern half of the state. That belongs to the Memphis papers, whose newsprint consumption is credited to Tennessee, which accordingly comes up' with the magificfmt figure of 82,378 tons for 1953. And the effect of Memphis' penetration is even worse in Mississippi than in Arkansas, figures show. But the contained in the ANPA newsprint summary is really this: The 13 Southern states used in 1953 a total of 931,493 tons of newsprint, but there are only two mills operating, in the South, with a combined annual production of but 200,000 tons.

These arc the Southern pine mills at Lufkin, Texas, first in the United States, and the No. 2 mill at Coosa Pines, Ala. Now building just east Chattanooga, is a third mill, owned by the British Bowaters interest but even when this mill has! raised total capacity to 300,000 tons the South will be producing less than one-third of the newsprint it consumes. The other two-thirds comes from Canada, and the ratio of Canadian print usage is enormously greater in the Middle West and North, If ever a set of figures pointed out a long-time goal for industrialization of the South it is this ANPA summary and it spells out more and bigger the South, pine and great labor reserve, has all the advantages over Canada that the Southeastern states had over New England when they stepped in and seized the lattor's textile industry. newsprint mills.
