The Lumber Cut in the
United States in 1908

! Washington, D. c., June 23.-During
the year 1908, 1921 sawmills in the
United States manufactured 33,2S9,-
36S,000 feet of lumber, according to a
preliminary report just issued by the
buerau of the census. These mills al
SO cut 1906 S3,000 shingles and
1855, 1884, 900 lath Lumber manufacture
ing like every other industry, felt the
effects of the business depression
which began in October, 1907. Conse.
quently the production in 1908 was be-
low that for the previous year. In
1907 the cut of 2S.850 saw mills was
| 40,256, $4,000 feet, the highest produc-
ton ever recorded. Notwithstanding
therefore, that in 1908 reports were re-
ceived from eight per cent more mills
than in 1907 the decrease in lumber
cut reported by them was slightly over
seventeen per cent.
| Washington, as for several years
past, still ranks first among the states
in lumber production, its cut in 1908
being 2,915,92S,000 feet-a decrease of
22.8 per cent over the cut in 1907
Nearly all the lumber manufactured in
| Washington Is Douglas fir, the market
| for which was seriously affected by the
| panic. Louisiana ranks second, with
| 2,722,421, 900 feet, decrease of $780,
| 100000 feet or 8.4 per cent over the
cut in 1907. Louisiana is first in the
production of both yellow pine and
cypress. Cypress is particularly use
| full and valuable wood, and apparently
| the manufacturers of it did not suffer
as severely from dull times as did the
manufacturers of yellow. pine and
Douglas fir. Mississippi was the third
state in lumber production in 1908,
with total of 1861 ,016000 feet-a de-
crease Of eleven per cent from the cut
| in 1907 Arkansas ranked fourth with
1856, 991, 900 feet-a decrease Of near
| lY seventeen per cent over the prev
! ious years output, and Wisconsin fifth,
with 1,613,315,000 feet against 2,00S,-
| 279.O00 feet in 1907. In Texas, where
| the lumber industry is confined almost
exclusively to yellow pine, the falling
off was very heavy. The total cut OF
the state in 1908 was 1924 ,00S,000 feet
"a decrease of 31.6 per cent over the
cut in 1907. Eight other states man
| ufactured more than one billion feet
each of lumber last year In the or
der of Importance they We're: Mich
igan, Oregon, Minnesota, Pennsylvania
Virginia, Alabama, North Carolina,
and West Virginia. California and
Maine, other states which reported
more than one billion feet each in
1907, went just below that figure in
1908. The totals for few states were
greater in 1908 than in 1907, but this
| was chiefly due to the larger number
of reports secured in those states in
1908. In Georgia. for instance, par
ticularly close canvass increased the
number of mills reporting nearly one
third, while the resulting increase in
reports of total production was only

, six cent. In Massachusetts,. CLIO mills
reported cut of 384,526,000 feet in
| 1908 as compared with cut of 1884,
231,0 900 feet by 51S mills in 1907. In
Colorado, 254 mills cut 1S2.0S6,000 feet
| i'll 1908, while in 1907, 230 mills cut
| 1928, 900 feet. A particularly large
gain in mills reporting was made in
Oklahoma In 1907, 129 mills in that
state cut 140,015,0O0 feet, while in
1908, PA mills cut 15s,756,000 feet.
While there are many very large
sawmills in the United States, the
ones. and it is particularly interesting
to note how many of these small mills
there are in the states which are not
now of first rank in lumber produc-
ton. The statistics for New York
were collected by the forest, fish and
game commission of that state, which
secured reports from 2,291 mills. In
Pennsylvania 1924 mills reported to
the census, and in Virginia, 1887
mills In North Carolina reports
came from LAO mills, and in Ken
lucky from 1880 mills. The number
Of mills reporting from Tennessee
was only forty less than Kentucky. In
West Virginia, Georgia, Missouri,
ohio and Indiana between 1000 and
/ 100 mills each were engaged in cut
ting lumber last year. The average
output per mill was 100000 feet in
New York, and 100000 feet in Louis
lana, these two states presenting near
ly the extremes of production by small
and large mills.
Yellow pine, Douglas fir. white
pine, oak, hemlock, and spruce, in the
order named, were the woods cut into
lumber in the largest quantity. Yellow
pine has ranked first since it surpas-
sed white pine in the later nineties,
and it is still far in the lead. More
recently, white pine has also been SUI
perceded by Douglas fir, SO that now 1t
occupies third place.
Washington has been the principal
single producing state since the use
of red cedar shingles became general,
and it supplied three-fifths of the to-
tai output of shingles last year. Among
the other shingle producing states,
Michigan, Louisiana, Maine and Cal
ifornia were the most important. The
shingles cut in Michigan and Maine
are chiefly of white cedar, those in
Louisiana of cypress, and those in Cal
ifornia, of redwood. Lath are general
ly by-product of lumber manufact-
ure, and are made to some extent from
almost every wood that is cut into
lumber Among the kinds of lath which
are most prominent are white pine,
Douglas fir, spruce, yellow pine, cy-
press and hemlock.
