THE WHITE PINE. INTRODUCTION. For two centuries and a half the White Pine has been universally employed for purposes ofconstruction in the Northern United States. Its abundance and the combination of qualitieswhich adapts it to an almost unlimited number of uses have made it the most important and themost highly prized of all the timber trees of the region to which it is indigenous. In several ofthe Northern States it has been a more constant source of wealth and has yielded larger returnsthan any other single product. Thus, for instance, in 1879, a fair year for comparison, the naturalproducts of the State of Michigan were estimated by Governor Jerome as follows:1 Agricultural products $88, 500, 000 Timber 60,000,000 Copper.- 8,000,000 Iron 10,000,000 Salt - 2,000,000 Fish. 1,000,000 According to this estimate the value of the timber products, chiefly White Pine, was at thattime, in round numbers, six times that of the iron, seven and one-half times that of the copper,and thirty time
