The necessity of the latter is a dominantfactor in the industrial development of the country and has been thecause of many ingenious expedients for augmenting the supply ofinland fuel. On all sides, however, it is recognised that the problemmust be solved by a larger utilisation of the vast amounts of water-power available in practically every section of the country. Of the total land area of Sweden, not fewer than 52,000,000 acres,or rather more than 50 per cent, are estimated to be covered withtimber. It is to this circumstance that we must look for a decidinginfluence on the development of the nations iron industry, for thefuel used in the production of iron is principally charcoal and wood—often mixed, however, with fossil coal or coke, or peat or peat-coal, inthe producers for open-hearth furnaces, in puddling furnaces, and inthe making of blister steel.
