Consumption has so far outstripped production that prices, of paper have mounted to undreamed of heights. Many newspapers have been forced to suspend pub lication and others have been eonspll' dated, while most of the big daifler are trying to conserve by reducing the number of pages.

The pinch of the paper famine is everywhere felt. The tree known as Canada balsam or Or in Canada and the eastern United States has come to be regarded as second only to spruce as a. source of wood pulp. A very large proportion of the balsam of all of Eastern Canada and of districts in the state of Maine is either dying or dead, says the American Forestry Magazine, Washington, For a time the balsam In its isola fcen prospered mightily, but eventually its wonderful prosperity led to its rCfcnfall. A native insect, which, un i ordinary conditions causes but Ht tla.

most. mo dominant balsam had been destroyed, when, in other the bud worms had eaten themselves out of house and home, did the destruction cease. Balsam deteriorates so rapidly that only very small fraction of the dead cr dying timber can be salvaged and used for pulp. This work is being Carried forward on a large scale in New Brunswick, but thev time is' close at band when no further shipments of "dead and down" can be made to the mills. When this time comes and the supply of commercial balsam is reduced to the minimum, then Canada's contribution of one third of the supplies of paper, wood and pulp which are used by the United States will be materially reduced.
