MONT. LUMBER PRODUCTION
HIGHEST ON RECORD

Missoula, Dec. Montana pro-
duced more lumber in l948 than
in any previous year, according to
NJ. B. Diskerman, Chief, Division
of Forest Economics, Northern
Rocky Mountain Forest & Range
Experiment Station. Production
totaled 500 million board feet. This
was SO million board feet more than
was turned out in 1947, the next
highest year on record. Since l945
Montana lumber production has in
creased rs percent, from 342 to 590
million board feet. Although pro-
duction in this state has been going
up gradually since 1881, there has
been a sharp upturn since the end
of the war.
The lumber production survey
Dickerman states, was undertaken
Jointly by the Western Pine Assoc
iation and the Forest Service and
has been underway since last sum-
mer. Reports received showed that
there are 479 sawmills in Montana
and in l948, 434 of these mills were
active. However, a great number
of these were small mills, each pro-
ducing less than one million board
feet. Less than 10 large mills ac-
counted for nearly three fourths of
the total output.
Flathead County was the center
of lumber production in the state
with Lincoln County second and
Missoula third. In all there were
81 counties throughout the state
with active sawmills during the
year. Production by species for the
state was as follows: ponderosa pine
224 million board feet, Douglas-fir
oil, western larch 1879, Engelmann
