 ALMOST two centuries ago the celebrated Eng- 
 lish philosopher, Dr. Samuel Johnson, tersely 
 said that half of a man's education consisted of 
 knowing where to get information. With the increas- 
 ing accumulation of recorded information since that 
 time, and the more complex organization of social, 
 business and economic activities, there is no one who 
 doubts that Doctor Johnson expressed an enduring 
 idea. Its application to this presentation is direct and 
 obvious if one knows of the immense mass of infor- 
 mation in various stages of digestion that the numer- 
 ous offices of the United States government have col- 
 lected and developed during many years, with a 
 greatly stimulated activity during the recent war 
 period. Lists of government information in the 
 form of official publications have already been 
 made available (for pulp and paper, see biblio- 
 
 *The letter of transmittal under date of February i, 1919, 
 from Henry E. Surface, Chairman, Committee on Biblio- 
 graphy, Technical Association of the Pulp -and Paper Indus- 
 try, reads as follows: 
 
 *'The committee on bibliography transmits herewith as its 
 eighth contribution a manuscript of title indicated, the data 
 for which has very kindly been released for the use of this 
 committee by the U. S. Central Bureau of Planning and 
 Statistics. The value of this contribution to the technical and 
 business men in the industry is stated in the introductory 
 memorandum, and the list itself will fill a long felt need of 
 those members who have found it necessary or desirable to 
 hunt up information at the various government offices in 
 Washington." 
 
 The last previous contribution of the Committee was "Lit- 
 erature of the Paper Industry : A Bibliography adapted from 
 Akesson-Everling-Fliickiger," by M, Hubbard, appearing in 
 Paper, vol. 23, no. 23, pp. 54-80, New York, Feb. 12, 1919, 
 also reprinted in the 1919 volume of Technical Association 
 Papers.

 graphics listed in the appendix hereto), but the pe- 
 cuHar value of this present compilation is that, when 
 followed up, it puts one in touch not only with the 
 issued publications, but also with all nonconfidential 
 information that may have been recorded and filed in 
 manuscript, cards, correspondence or other forms; 
 and, even further, with that which is still unexpressed 
 in the minds of many men who are connected with 
 the several government activities having either a di- 
 rect or indirect bearing on the subject in question. The 
 United States government has been at enormous ex- 
 pense in developing this information, and most fortun- 
 ately it is willing and anxious that its people shall have 
 the freest possible access to it in order to render it of 
 the greatest public benefit, entirely aside from its use 
 in national administration. 
 
 The material in this list and the prefatory explana- 
 tion are adapted from a manuscript entitled "A List of 
 Forest Products Statistics, issued by the Statistical 
 Clearing House, Central Bureau of Planning and 
 Statistics, November, 1918," with the purpose of con- 
 fining this presentation to the pulp and paper aspects 
 of the subject. The character of the material omitted 
 is variously indicated. The changed circumstances 
 since the signing of the armistice 4^n November 11, 
 1918, have led to the total elimination of listed mate- 
 rial, references and instructions in regard to the sev- 
 eral war procurement offices of the government, as 
 they are no longer functioning as before. The records 
 of statistics of continuing and permanent value have 
 been retained, however, and it is the object of this 
 presentation to make them easily accessible to the tech- 
 nical and economic men of the pulp and paper indus- 
 try through correspondence or personal visit. This 
 should prove an invaluable finding list even though 
 the normal and reorganized functions of certain gov- 
 ernment offices could not be included at this date. 
 
 EXPLANATION OF LIST 
 
 The purpose of this compilation is to show the prin- 
 cipal source of statistics on forest products. It in- 
 cludes both original and secondary sources and the 
 various offices in Washington from which the tabula- 
 tions may be secured by properly accredited persons. 
 
 Should statistical information which does not ap- 
 pear here be desired, a telephone call to the Central 
 Bureau of Planning and Statistics, Statistical Clearing 
 House, Room 113, New Interior Bldg., Washington 
 
 [2] 
 
— telephone: War Industries Board (Main 5780), 
 Branch 404 — will give the benefit of any additional 
 sources which have been listed after this issue. 
 
 There is also available in the Statistical Clearing 
 House information regarding all statistical data com- 
 piled by the various governmental agencies in* Wash- 
 ington.

 (Note — The list of government departments and war or- 
 ganizations maintaining procurement divisions interested in 
 pulp and paper products prior to the suspension of war equip- 
 ment activities, is omitted.) 
 
 research 
 
 The Department of Agriculture, Forest Service^ is the chief 
 agency doing scientific research work on forest products. Its 
 activities include both research and advice on the application 
 of results. The supply and production, properties, specifica- 
 tions, inspection, purchase, conditioning, manufacture and use 
 of wood and other forest products for war purposes are more 
 or less completely covered. The range of utilization includes 
 aircraft, ships, lumber, military vehicles, boxing and crating, 
 gas warfare offensive and defensive, grain and wood alcohol, 
 explosives, pulp and paper, implements, and miscellaneous 
 uses of forest products in modern warfare. 
 
 The Forest Service also determines the best methods of 
 protecting standing timber and of cutting in different forest 
 types in order to secure the best natural reproduction. It ob- 
 tains' information on the mechanical and chemical properties 
 of wood and its various uses. Studies are made of hardwood 
 distillation, of veneers and of the handling of bark. 
 
 Because of the numerous phases of research work done by 
 the Forest Service only the more important subjects are listed 
 under the heading of the commodities to which they pertain. 
 It should be particularly noted that this index is confined 
 exclusively to statistics and does not cover technology or 
 economics.

 public inasmuch as the confidential reports of individual con- 
 cerns are not disclosed.
