GREATEST LUMBER CUT
More Standing Timber fel!ed
Last Year Than Any Year
PreCedi n

More lumber was cut in the United
States last year than in any other
year in lis history The enormous
amount If 1850, 1856 board feet was
produced, and the mill value of this
was $621,151,3S. in addition, there
were produced 1855, 100000 shingles,
valued at s24,155, 555, and 1872, SO7 900
lath, valued at S11 ,490,57O. On the
whole, it is safe to say that the pres
ent annual lumber cut of the United
States approximate 40 billion feet,
and that the total mill value of the
lumber. lath, and shingles each year
produced is not less than $7G0, 0O00 900
These figures give some idea of how
vast is the lumber industry and how
great IS tie demand for its products
4 glance at the kinds Of lumber
produced shows very clearly the pass
ing of White pine and oak, one the
create st softwood and the other the
greatest hardwood which the forest
has ever grown. Since 1899 the
cut of white pine has fallen off more
than 40 per cent, while that of white
oak has fallen off more than So per
cent. Today yellow pine leads all
other woods in amount cut, while
Douglas fir-and this will be sur
prise to many-comes second. Since
1899 the cut of Douglas fir has in
creased 1856 per cent. Louisiana is
the foremost yellow pine State, with
Texas. Mississippi, and Arkansas fol-
lowing in order. Washington pro-
duces by far the greatest amount OF
Douglas fir.
A comparison of the lulnber-prOduc-
ing States shows that since 1899 there
have been many changes III their rel
ative rank. Washington, which In
1899 stood sixth, now leads, while
Wisconsin, which eight years ago led
all others, is now third. In the same
period Oregon, Louisiana, Mississippi
Idaho, and California made great
strides as lumber-producing States
though, on the other hand, the amour
produced in Michigan, Wisconsin
Minnesota, Georgia, Kentucky, Ten,
nessee, Missouri, Indiana, and Ohio
fell off anywhere from 20 to 81 pei
cent.
The highest-priced native woods are
walnut, hickory and ash, and the cheap
est are larch and white fir From
