R, E. McArdle, Director 

Asheville, N. C. 
Through the McSweeny-McNary Act of 1928, Congress authorized the 

Secretary of Agriculture to conduct a comprehensive survey of the forest 

resources of the United States. The Forest Survey was organized by the 

Forest Service to carry out the provisions of the Act, and each of the 

11 Regional Forest Experiment Stations is responsible for the work in 

its territory, In the Middle Atlantic States the Forest Survey is an 

activity of the Appalachian Forest Experiment Station, Asheville, North 

Carolina. 

The work of the Survey is divided into five major phases: 

1. Inventory. Determination of the extent, location, and 

condition of forest lands, and the quantity, speges, and 

quality of tinber on these lands. 

2. Growth, Determination of the current rate of timber growth. 

Drain. Determination of the amoilnt of industrial and domestic 3" - 

wood used, and the total loss resulting from fire, insects, 

disease, suppression, and other causes. 

4. Requirements. Determination of the current and probable future 

requirenents for forest products by all classes of consumers. 

5. Policies and plans. Analysis of the relation of these findings 

to one another and to other economic factors as a basis for 

public and private policies and plans of forest land use and 

management. 

This progress report presents information on one part of the drzin 

phase of the Survey, and deals specifically with the 1942 production of 

lumber by states and counties, in the territory of the Appalachian Forest 

Eqeriment Station. 

The report is made possible through the assistance received from 

the War Production Board? t,he Bureau of the Census, the Tennessee Valley 

Authority, the Soil Conservation Service, Region 8 of the Forest Service, 

and the Division cf Forest Management at-the Appalachian Station.

CAROLINAS, VIRGINIA, WEST VIRGINIA, KENTUCKY, AND TENNESSEE 

This report, giving the estimated 1942 lumber production in six 

states of the Appalachian Forest Experiment Station's territory, is based 

on a complete canvass of all sawmills. It was made during the first half 

of 1943 by the U. S. Forest Service in cooperation with the Bureau of the 

Census, the Lumber and Lmber Products Branch of the War Production Board, 

and the Tennessee Valley Authority. 

The canvass of this area was a par: of the nation-wide survey of 

sawmills, which was made to obtain accurate data on lumber production 

needed to facilitate planning by the various public agencies responsible 

for furthering the war effort. 

Information contained herein consists chiefly of statistical data 

coritained in a summary table and a series of tables for each state, together with state maps showing the approximate iocation af the sawmills. 

LUMBER PRODUCTION 

Lumber production in the six states during 1942 is estimated tc 

have been 5.8 billion board feet, of which 60 percent was softwoods and 

40 percent hardwoods (table 1). Yellow pine made up 54 percent of the 

total volume, oak 20 percent, yellowpoplar 6 percent, and red gm 3 percent, The remainirg 17 percent was produced froa approximately 20 dii-. 

f erent species, some of the most imp~~ant. being beech, cypress, maple, 

tupelo and black gim, white pine, hemlock, hickory, and chestnut. 

This volume of lumber comprised only 15 percent of the total United 

States production of all species, but about one-third of ail the hardwood 

and southern yellow pine lumber came from this area, Practically all the 

Appalachian hardwood lumber (1.3 billfon bd. ft. in 1942) is produced in 

these six states. 

DESCRPTION OF SAWMILLS 

In 1942 approximately one-third of the 5awmills in the United 

States were located in this territory. There were 12,557 operating and 

2,737 idle mills, a total of 15,294 saw mil;^. These mills vary in size 

from small circular mills capable of cutting, with present equipment, 

from one to two thousand feet of lumber per day to the large band mills 

equipped to cut well over 100 thousand board feet per day. 

IJ Prelininary data subject to revision- Final pr~duciton statistics 

will be released by the Bureau of the Census. 
Operating Mills 

About 99 percent of the sawmills, including both custom and commercial operations, were small mills (class 3 and smallery) that produced less than 5 million board feet of lumber during the year. These 

mills, practically all circular, accounted for 82 percent of the totai 

production during 1942 (table 1). 

The custom operations in this group of small miils include most 

of the class 0 mills and an appreciable number of the small class 1 and 

2 mills. These are usually owned by persons who operate inteettently 

in connection with fanning or other work. A flat fee per thousand board 

feet is charged for sawing, the stumpage owner usually doi~g the logging 

and handling of the lumber. Most of the lumber produced by the smaller 

mills is used for farm construction or other local use, whereas that 

sawed by the larger custom mills is usually sold to concentration yards. 

The small commercial mills, which take in the large class 1 and 

class 2, and most of the class 3 mills, are operated by persons whose 

chief livelihood is lumbering. Some of these operators work under contract for concentration yards and are paid a flat fee per thousand board 

feet for logging, sawing, and hauling the lumber to the yards, Others 

work independently, buying their own stumpage, and selling direct to 

yards, mines, or other purchasers of lumber. 

The large commercial mills (class 4 and larger), most of which 

are of the single-band type, make up only one percent of the total 

number of operating mills, but they produce 18 percent of the lumber 

(table 1). These mills operate mostly on company-owned timber: although some depend upon stumpage purchased from the national forests 

or upon logs obtained from private log dealers and farmers. Some of 

these large operators have their own woods crews who cut and haul the 

logs to the mills, although most of them have the work done under contract. Practically all of the lumber produced by these mills, as well 

as the majority of that produced by the smaller mills and sold to concentration yards, goes directly into war use. 

Idle Mills 

Sawnills idle during the entire year totaled 2,737, or 18 percent of the mills in the six states. Past records show that approximately 33 percent of these were also idle during 1941. Of those that 

operated in 1941 about 48 percent were class 0 mills, 46 percent class 

1, 4 percent class 2, and 2 percent class 3. Mills that were idle during both 1941 and 1942 are of little importance as potential lumber producers as most of them are old and worn out. Mills that were newly idle 

in 1942 are in most cases owned by persons that have gone into other work, 

or the armed forces, These mills could be put back into operation without excessive cost, but due to lack of labor and other factors mosr. of 

them will probably remain idle for the duration.
