WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. %
West Virgina's lumber production
has begun to decrease, according to
figures compiled by the United
States Census Bureau and made
public today for the hrst time. The
prod uction of lumber IN West Vir-
GINA for 1910 was less. than for
either 1907 or 1909, although
slightly IN excess of that for 1908
The relative standing of the state
is the same as it was IN 1907 and
1909, It being then and for 1910
also thirteenth among the states in
the quantity OF lumber produced. In
1908 It was fourteenth.
Measured in thousand feet, board
measure, the production OF lumber
In West Virginia for 1910 was l.
3T6,5S7: in 1909 it was 1912 J242
In 1908 it was .os7. O15: and In
1907 it was 1,3s7,97s. The value
of the lumber is not stated by the
census bureau. Were this stated
West Virginia might rank higher
among the states on account OF the
high character Of its timber prod
ucts. However. the interesting fsa-
ture of the census figures Is not She
quantity or value of the production,
but the fact that the maximum
production OF lumber apparently has
been reached and that hereafter
there will not be so much lumber
produced in the state as has been
produced In the past.
While ranking thirteenth In the
total output of lumber, West vir-
GINA stands first in the production
of oak lumber and together with
Kentucky and Tennessee produces
more than a third of all the oak
lumber produced in the United
States.
The total production of lumber
in the United States for 1910 is
stated by the census bureau to have
been 4o,O1s!2 90 thousand feet. board
measure, compared with 4,5os,761
in 1909; a total OF 83.224!S6s in
1908 and 4O,256.154 in 1907. The
leading states in the order of their
production are washington, Louis
lana, mississippi, orgon, Wisconsin
Texas, Arkansas. North Carolina
Michigan, Virginia, Alabama, Min
