ABSTRACT.--This 29th annual report shows 1974 pulpwood production by

county and species group in Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin Production

in these three Lake States climbed to 5.5 million cords in 1974 from

4.7 million cords in 1973.

OXFORD: 861.0(77) :792. KEY WORDS: residue, Minnesota, Wisconsin,

Michigan.

Lake States pulpwood production rose to 5..47 million cords in 1974

from 4.72 million cords in 1973 (table I). Production climbed 294,000

cords in Wisconsin, 257,000 cords in Michigan, and 201,000 cords in

Minnesota.

About 91 out of every i00 cords were harvested by Lake States loggers;

the remainder was mill residue, such as slabs, edgings, veneer cores,

and Chips from these materials.

•Most (93 percent) of the increase in output was roundwood or chips from

• r0undwood. All species groups, except spruce, contributed to the larger • .

harvest. Principal increases were in aspen (+271,000 cords), pine (+149,000

• cords), and the "miscellaneous hardwoods ''I (+165,000 cords).

For the first time, oak and maple are shown separately in the table. Both

are important pulpwood species groups that have been growing in use. Together

they account for ii percent of the 1974 Lake States pulpwood output.

Major production gains occurred in all northern areas of the Lake States

and in central Wisconsin. Top-yielding counties were Marquette, Iron, and

Dickinson in Michigan; St. Louis, Koochiching, and Itasca in Minnesota; and

Oneida, Price, and Lincoln in Wisconsin.

Pulpmills using Lake States timber in 1974 reported their pulpwood receipts

by State, county, and species groups. Their cooperation is gratefully

acknowledged. Thanks are also due to AI Boelter, Michigan Department of

Natural Resources, for collecting the data from pulpmills in Michigan.

,

ilncludes maple, oak and "other hardwoods" as shown in table I.
