- W4254429162 abstract "WAR production frms the main theme of the annual reports of some of the African forest services—the demands for timber and wild rubber production, the latter due to the disappearance of the Malayan supplies. In the report for 1943 from Nigeria (Govt. Printers, Lagos, 1944) it is stated that military demands for timber revived, while the projected relaying of the railway line between Jebba and Minna required over a period of three years 300,000 sleepers. It was hoped to supply a high proportion of these from the Kurmis of the northern provinces, from Khaya senegalensis and grandifoliola. Trouble was experienced from warping and cracking due to an exceptionally severe harmattan; an exacting specification impossible for pit-sawyers to fulfil and other difficulties were experienced. These resulted in a high percentage of rejects, so the work of supplying is to be transferred to the southern provinces, although this involves long haulages by rail. Besides this railway contract, of which a portion was cut, 333,358 cu. ft. were produced for military use; 1,455,730 cu. ft. for local consumption; 40,924 cu. ft. from the mines, and 2,038,592 cu. ft. by logs and timber cut for export. This latter went to the United Kingdom, United States, South Africa, other parts of West Africa and French West Africa. One notable result of this increased war demand for timber, especially sawn timber required by the military, is the substantial and growing local demand by the African for this last type of material, which should, in the future, result in far better housing conditions for the population." @default.
