INTRODUCTION.

In this bulletin, which is one of an annual series covering the period 1904 to 1918, inclusive, with the exception of 1914,' are detailed statistics of the 1918 production of lumber, lath, and shingles in the continental United States,? with comparative figures from previous annual reports.

The collection and compilation of the statistics for the Western States were done through the district offices of the Forest Service at Missoula, Denver, Albuquerque, Ogden, San Francisco, and Portland. The figures for New York State were furnished by the New York Conservation Commission.? The work in all of the other States east

1A detailed semmary of the 1914 lumber production is given in Bulletin 506, which contains the figures — ‘a anegne don statistics for 1918 were summarized in a preliminary statement issued in May, 1919. 2 Acknowledgement is made for assistance in the compilation and review of this bulletin to A. B. Strough,

of the Rocky Mountains was done in the Washington office of the Forest Service.

As in former years, the census was carried on in cooperation with the National Lumber Manufacturers’ Association, which contributed financial assistance, and aided, through its affiliated organizations, in securing reports from the mills.

TOTAL LUMBER PRODUCTION.

The quantity of lumber reported cut in 1918 by 14,753 mills was 29,362,020,000 board feet. The output of 2,887 mills cutting less than 50,000 board feet each is not included in the total cut. An additional 2,795 mills were reported idle. The estimated total lumber production by 22,546 mills in 1918 was 31,890,494,000 board feet. The reported cut shows a decrease of 11.5 per cent from the 1917 figures; the number of mills reporting, a decrease of 10 per cent; and the estimated total production, a decrease of 11 per cent.

Many of the conditions which were responsible for the slowing up of production in 1917 continued for the greater portion of 1918, and in some instances were accentuated prior to the signing of the armi- stice in November. War demands of both a direct and indirect . character resulted in the taking up of the lumber produced from the usual avenues of utilization.

Ever increasing prices for lumber and other building materials, railroad freight embargoes, car shortages, high wages, and scarcity of labor, curtailed credits, and the discouragement by the Govern- ment of all activities other than those aimed to help win the war cut down the demand for lumber for the first 10 months of 1918. Illustrative of building conditions, statistics for the year show the value of construction for which permits were issued in 148 cities of the country to have been approximately $415,000,000, a decrease of 39 per cent from the year before. The decline in 1917 from 1916 was 29 per cent. Conditions at the mills were of a trying character because of the scarcity of skilled labor and the large turnove’ m both skilled and unskilled labor, increasing costs along every line, and because of the difficulty in making shipments on orders. Ex- port trade remained at a low ebb, for not only was foreign business light but tonnage available was limited. Many small mills did not operate because of unsatisfactory market conditions; 2,795 mills reported idle. The number of big mills operating—those cutting upward of 5,000,000 feet annually—decreased 5 per cent from the year before; the 1,290 mills fallmg into this classification cut 70.68 per cent of the aggregate output of the country.

The reported lumber cut, the number of active mills reporting, and the estimated annual total cut are given in Table 1 for each year since 1899 for which data have been compiled. The statistics for

PRODUCTION OF LUMBER, LATH, AND SHINGLES IN 1918, 3

all of the years are not directly comparable, since the intensiveness of the individual annual canvass made must be taken into considera- tion. In the enumerations for 1899 and 1909, field agents of the Bureau of the Census were employed, which permitted the output of nearly all, if not all, mills being recorded. The reported cut and the estimated total cut for 1918 are the smallest for any one of the years shown.

LUMBER PRODUCTION BY CLASSES OF MILLS.

As in previous years, the mills were arbitrarily divided into classes according to the quantity reported cut. These classes are shown in Table 2, with the computed! number of mills operating and the com- puted total production for each of the last five years—1914 to 1918, inclusive.

More than two-thirds of the aggregate output of the country’s sawmills was produced by 1,290 mills, or but 5.7 per cent of the 22,546, or computed total number, in operation. The concentration of production among the larger operations—mills cutting 10,000,000 feet and over annualiy—has increased materially during the last decade. In 1909, this class of mills produced 43.09 per cent of the total cut for the year, while in 1918 the same class of mills cut 59.49 per cent of the total. In 1918, the number of class 5 mills operating was about 100 less than for the year before; a number of class 5 mills in 1917 became class 4 mills in 1918 through their cut falling below 10,000,000 feet.

Figures on sawmill capacity with relation to actual production, arranged by classes of mills and by States, are contained in Table 3. The compilation is based upon answers to a question on the lumber cut schedule sent to the mills as to how much lumber the reporting mill could produce in a 10-hour shift if demand and price were very favor- able. While not all of the returns contained an answer, the number of replies is sufficiently large to furnish an excellent basis for the table. Local conditions of a wide variety, with climatic conditions dominating, account for the considerable variation in the average number of 10-hour days operated by the mills in different States, and in the average yearly output per mill. The theory held generally by operators that the larger mills, such as those falling into class 5, operate closer to capacity than do the mills in the lower classes is supported by the figures in the tabulation. A computed average figure for the country as a whole is omitted, since there was no logical common basis for it. |

1“Computed,”’ as used in this bulletin, expresses results obtained by the extension of figures based on

actual returns so as to show totals for approximately allsawmills whether or not reports were received from them.

PRODUCTION OF LUMBER, LATH, AND SHINGLES IN 1918. 9

The relative importance of each State in the aggregate cut of lum- ber is indicated in Table 4, which shows the cut by classes of mills ar- ranged by States. Of the 777 class 5 mills reporting their output for 1918, 105 were located in Louisiana, 54 in Mississippi, 47 in Texas, 38 in Arkansas, and 29 in Alabama. From this group of States 273 class 5 mills reported in 1918, or a decrease of 18 per cent in compari- son with the 332 mills reported in 1917. In the Lake States group were 40 in Wisconsin, 30 in Michigan, and 20 in Minnesota, a decrease of 18 per cent in number from 1917. In the western States 132 were in Washineton, 72 in Oregon, and 40 in California and Nevada; the class 5 mills in these States in 1917 numbered but 221, so that there is an increase of 10 per cent.

In the 12 States mentioned above, the 607 class 5 mills reporting form 78 per cent of the total reporting from all States. From the four general producing regions embraced within these States comes the bulk of the soft wood cut.

Of the 11,437 mills reporting a cut of from 50,000 to 1,000,000 feet each, 1,089 were in Virginia, 979 in North Carolina, 977 in New York, 677 in Pennsylvania, and 632 in Tennessee. The 4,354 class 1 and class 2 mills in the five States constitute 38 per cent of the two classes of mills reporting for the entire country.

12 BULLETIN 845, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. LUMBER PRODUCTION BY STATES.

The total number of sawmills in operation and the total quantity of lumber reported cut m each State for the last 10 years—1909 to 1918, inclusive—are shown in Table 5. The figures accurately por- tray the fluctuations in the lumber trade for the period covered. Only three of the leading producing States show a gain in output in 1918 over the year before, and these States are in the western group. The increase in Washington, which ranks first in volume of pro- duction amounted to less than 1 per cent; m Oregon the increase was 5 per cent, and in Idaho 6 per cent. Production in all of the southern pine States markedly declined from the year before. In comparison with the 1917 output the cut was 18 per cent smaller in Louisiana, 20 per cent in Mississippi, 17 per cent in Arkansas, 22 per cent in Texas, 18 per cent in Alabama, 23 per cent in Florida, and 30 per cent in Georgia. A largely decreased output also is in evidence for the North Carolina pine group of States; in North Carolina the decline amounted to 15 per cent, in Virginia to 19 per cent, and im South Carolina to 27 per cent. The cut in the Lake States was likewise less than for the year before. In Wisconsin the production was less by 8 per cent, in Minnesota 7 per cent, and in Michigan 12 per cent. Other changes in production among the minor producing States may be attributed to more or less local conditions.

PRODUCTION OF LUMBER, LATH, AND SHINGLES IN 1918, 15

The relative importance of the several general producing regions of the country at 10-year periods since the middle of the last century is shown in Table 6. The history of the lumber industry is traceable in the tabulation, since it shows the inception of lumbering in each region and its growth or decline during subsequent intervals.

LUMBER PRODUCTION BY KINDS OF WOOD.

Table 7 shows for each of the last 10 years, 1909 to 1918, the com- puted cut of the different woods. In a preceding table the lessened cut was shown by States, while in this table the decline in output is revealed according to species. Only three woods on the entire list show a greater computed cut in 1918 than in 1917. These are Doug- las fir with an increase of 4 per cent, hickory with 5 per cent, and wal- nut with 61 percent. The enlarged cut of walnut was due entirely to the demand for this wood for war purposes.

The decrease in yellow pine production from 1917 amounted to more than 2,500,000,000 feet, or 20 per cent. As between 1917 and 1916 the cut of yellow pine fell off 10 per cent. The 1918 cut was more than 4,000,000,000 feet less than in 1916. Others of the more important softwoods, the cut of which declined from the year before, are white pine 2 per cent, hemlock 15 per cent, and western yellow pine 13 percent. Cypress production decreased 34 per cent. Among the hardwoods the computed output of oak was less by 10 per cent and that of yellow poplar by 17 per cent.

Softwood production forms approximately four-fifths of the aggre- gate annual cut. The 1918 cut of softwoods was 12 per cent smaller than in 1917; the hardwood cut was 7 per cent smaller than in 1917.

The average values given in the tables are the weighted averages of about 50 per cent of the 14,753 mills which re- ported their cut, and accurately reflect the true value of the several species of lumber at the milJl. The variation in values for the same wood in different States is caused by character of timber, type of manufacture, and distance from market.

Fic. 3.—Computed total lumber production in 1918, by kinds of wood.

The question is frequently asked in connection with lumber produc- tion figures as to what part shortleaf pine forms of the total quantity of yellow pine reported, or the ratio of white oak cut to the total. It is not practicable in the lumber census work to do more than group the figures for all of the yellow pines together, and treat the oaks, sums, cedars, and other woods in the same way, since no standard classification is found among the lumbermen. Producers in one sec- tion frequently apply a local name to a given species and only confu- sion would follow an attempt to segregate the figures.

PRODUCTION OF LUMBER, LATH, AND SHINGLES IN 1918. 19

YELLOW PINE.

The reported cut of yellow pine for 1918 was 20 per cent under that for 1917 and is the smallest cut recorded since 1899, with the excep- tion of 1905. Since yellow pine production formed 34 per cent of the country’s aggregate lumber output, the economic importance of the decline becomes the more marked. Embraced in the classification of yellow pine is the longleaf pie cut in the Southern and Gulf States, the shortleaf pine from the same region as well as Arkansas, and the shortleaf and loblolly pine of the North Carolina pine region.

The lessened output was general among the larger producing States. In Missouri and Maryland alone the 1918 cut was in excess of that re- ported in 1917. The decrease ranged from 17 per cent in both Louisi- ana and North Carolina to as high as 36 per cent in Georgia. Through the greater loss in output in Arkansas, that State displaced North Carolina in seventh place in the rank of producing States.

Reports were received from 5,289 active mills in 1918, whereas 6,217 mills reported in 1917.

The average value of yellow pine f. o. b. mill for the year was $24.38. The figure represents an increase of $5.38 per 1,000 feet; or 28 per cent, over the year before. The average value rose 33 per cent in 1917 over 1916.

20 BULLETIN 845, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. DOUGLAS FIR.

The reported production of Douglas fir, amounting to 5,819,141,000 feet, exceeded the 1917 output by 9 per cent. The computed total cut of 5,820,000,000 feet is the largest for any year for which figures are avallable. In 1917 the cut of Douglas fir formed 16 per cent of the aggregate output of all lumber in the United States; in 1918, the cut was 20 per cent, or one-fifth, of the total. The 1,101 mills report- ing are an increase of 77 mills over the year before. In Washington and Oregon production was slightly larger in 1918, and in California production increased 40 per cent over 1917 with a smaller number of mills reporting. In Idaho and Montana the output decreased.

The average value per thousand feet increased from $16.28 in 1917 to $18.77, or 15 percent. The 1918 figure is the topmost price record- ed for this wood.

WHITE PINE.

White pine production reported in 1918 was smaller by 4 per cent than in 1917, the total cut amounting to 1,968,474,000 feet. In spite of the fact that it is the smallest quantity cut in more than a decade, white pine assumes the position occupied by oak in recent years in point of production. The 1918 white pine cut was 8 per cent below the 1917 cut in Minnesota, 7 per cent in Maine, and 21 per cent in Wisconsin; the cut gained by 8 per cent in Idaho and 10 per cent in New Hampshire.

The average value of white pine rose from $24.81 per 1,000 feet in 1917 to $30.84 in 1918, an increase of 24 per cent.

1 White pine (Pinus strobus) is the white pine cut in the Lake States, the Northeastern States, and the

Appalachian region.

Norway (or red) pine (Pinus resinosa), though botanically a yellow pine, is cut in the Lake States and

largely marketed with white pine. Jack pine (Pinus banksiana) is cut in the Lake States.

Western white pine (Pinus monticola) is cut in Idaho, Montana, Washington, and Oregon.

OAK.

The production of oak in the United States has decreased annually

during the last 10 years and more, as a result of the depletion of oak timber and the wider use of a greater variety of hardwoods. In 1918 the reported cut was 1,658,714,000 feet, in comparison with 1,967,694,000 feet in 1917, a decrease of 16 per cent. The 1917 cut was 9 per cent less than that of 1916. The shifting center of oak production is indicated by Arkansas taking the place of West Vir- ginia as the principal producing State. Arkansas, Louisiana, and New York were the only States in which the cut was larger than for the preceding year, all of the other States showing decreases ranging from 1 per cent in Pennsylvania to 34 per cent in Kentucky. The oak cut is 32 per cent of the aggregate cut of all hardwoods.

The average value of oak for the year was $31.11 per 1,000 feet, an advance of $6.62 per 1,000, or 27 per cent, over the year before.

1 Commercially the oaks are classed as white and red. The principal commercial oaks are listed below:

White oaks.— White oak (Quercus alba) is the white oak common throughout the eastern halfofthe United States.

Chestnut (or rock) oak (Quercus prinus) is found in the Appalachian region.

Post oak (Quercus minor) and bur oak (Quercus macrocarpa) are common throughout the eastern half of the country.

Overcup oak (Quercus lyrata) and cow (or basket) oak (Quercus michaurzii) are the principal southern white oaks.

Red oaks.—Red oak (Quercus rubra) is the red oak common to the eastern part of the United States.

Texan red oak (Quercus texana) is the principal red oak sawed in the lower Mississippi Valley.

Pin oak (Quercus palustris) is found in the Eastern and Central States.

Searlet oak (Quercus coccinea) is the northern and northeastern red oak.

Yellow (or black) oak (Quercus velutina) is common to most States east of the Rocky Mountains.

Willow oak (Quercus phellos) is cut mostly in the Southern States.

HEMLOCK.

Hemlock production in 1918 was less by approximately 272,000,000 feet, or 14 per cent, than in 1917. The loss in output in comparison with the preceding year amounted to 12 per cent in Wisconsin, 19 per cent in Michigan, 13 per cent in Washington, 17 per cent in Pennsyl- vania, and 36 per cent in West Virginia. Washington succeeded Michigan in second place in point of production for all States. The output in Oregon, New Hampshire, and Vermont was larger than in 1917. Wisconsin and Michigan combined furnish 45 per cent of the ageregate cut of hemlock. Washington and Oregon produced 18.6 per cent of the country’s total in 1917 and 20.3 per cent in 1918.

The average value of hemlock advanced from $20.78 per 1,000 feet in 1917 to $23.97 in 1918, a higher value by $3.19, or 15 per cent.

1 Hemlock ( Tsuga canadensis) is cut in the Lake States, Northeastern States, and the Appalachian region.

Western hemlock ( Tsuge heterophylla) is manufactured in Washington and Oregon.

Black (or western mountain) hemlock ( Tsuga mertensiana) is cut in small quantities. Carolina hemlock ( Tsuga earoliniana) is occasionally cut in the Appalachian region.

WESTERN YELLOW PINE.

The 1,707,784,000 feet of western yellow pine reported sawed in 1918 was 157,000,000 feet, or 8 per cent, under the 1917 output. The cut in California was 25 per cent less than in 1917 and that State gave way to Oregon as the leading State in production. California furnished 26 per cent of all the western yellow pine cut in 1917 and but 21 per cent in 1918. The cut in Idaho was practically the same as for the preceding year, and a slightly increased total was shown for both Washington and Montana.

The average value of $20.87 per 1,000 feet for western yellow pine differs from the 1917 average of $19.59 by $1.28, or practically 7 per cent.

1 Western yellow pine (Pinus pondzrosa) is the one species cut as such.

24 BULLETIN 845, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. SPRUCE.

The particular need for spruce for specific war purposes stimulated the production of this species in the Pacific northwest, with the result that the output is slightly in excess of the cut for 1917. Maine has been the leading spruce-producing State for a number of years, the annual output being approximately one-third of the country’s entire cut, but the State dropped into third position in 1918 with its pro- duction amounting to but about one-fifth of the total cut. The scarcity of labor probably had something to do with this condition, since but 252 mills reported operating in 1918 in comparison with 298 mills in 1917. Washington’s cut was 78,000,000 feet and Oregon’s cut 95,000,000 feet in excess of 1917, or an increase of 39 per cent and 79 per cent, respectively. The combined cut of the two States formed one-half of the aggregate cut of the country. West Virginia’s output declined 34 per cent.

The high price paid for airplane stock was offset by the lower prices which were necessary to move the large volume of lower grades, so that the average value reached but $28.65 per 1,000 feet, an advance of $4.24 per 1,000 feet, or 17 per cent over the 1917 figure.

PRODUCTION OF LUMBER, LATH, AND SHINGLES IN 1918. 25 MAPLE.

The production of maple shared in the general slump in output. The reported cut of 696,986,000 feet was 105,000,000 feet, or 13 per cent below that of 1917. In Michigan, where more than 40 per cent of the country’s total is cut, production dropped 63,000,000 feet, or 18 per cent from the previous year. Production in New York and Ohio was slightly greater than in 1917.

A higher average mill value was obtained in 1918 than in 1917, the average value of $29.05 in 1918 being an increase of $5.89 per 1,000 feet, or 25 per cent. 3

Silver (or soft) maple (Acer saccharinum) is also cut in the Northern States.

Red (or soft) maple (Acer rubrum) is the principal species cut in the Southern States.

Mountain maple (Acer spicatum) and striped maple (Acer pennsylvanicum) are cut in the Eastern States. Oregon maple (Acer macrophyllum) is cut in the Pacific Coast States.

GUM.

The cut of red gum in recent years, when the production of other woods declined, either increased or underwent little or no change. In 1918, however, the reported total production of 651,545,000 feet was 79,000,000 feet below the total cut in 1917, or 11 per cent. In Arkansas, in which State approximately one-third of the aggregate output of all States is sawed, the decrease in cut amounted to 15 per cent. The decline was shared in by all of the States with the excep- tion of Alabama, where a slightly increased output advances the State from sixth to fifth place in rank of production.

The average value of $23.21 is an increase above the 1917 average of $19.56 of $3.65 per 1,000 feet, or 19 per cent.

1 Red (or sweet) gum (Liguidamber styracijfiua) is the only species that goes into red-gum Inmber. Com- mercial sap gum is the sapwood of the red gum. CYPRESS.

The falling off in cypress production was more marked than for any other one wood. The decrease in reported production was 339,000,000 feet, or 37 per cent: The reported cut in 1918 was 578,026,000 feet. The cut in Louisiana, in which State 51 per cent of the country’s cypress was produced, declined from 509,659,000 feet in 1917 to 296,986,000 feet in 1918, or 42 per cent. Florida’s cut was 85,376,000 feet in 1918, or 49 per cent less than the 166,857, 000 feet of the year before. South Carolina ranked third among the cypress-producing States in 1917, with a production of 59,107,000 feet. In 1918 the cut dwindled to 28,898,000 feet, or half as much as the year before, and the State dropped into fifth place. In 1918, the number of mills reporting totaled 587 in com- parison with 654 for the preceding year.

The average value of cypress took an upward turn of 28 per cent from the average of $23.92 in 1917 to $30.56 in 1918, an increase of $6.64 per 1,000 feet.

REDWOOD.

Redwood production was reduced 44,000,000 feet from the re- ported total of 487,458,000 feet in 1917, a decrease of 9 per cent. Forty mills reported cutting redwood in 1918 and but 36 mills the year before. The statistics given are believed to cover practically all of the redwood cut.

The average mill value of redwood was $21 in 1917 and $24.30 in 1918, an advance of $3.30 per 1,000 feet, or 16 per cent.

1 Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) is the species chiefly cut. Bigtree (Sequoia washingtoniana) furnishes a minor part of the redwood production.

CHESTNUT.

The reported total cut of chestnut, amounting to 344,929,000 feet, was a decrease of 10 per cent from the 1917 cut. The decline in West Virginia was 22,000,000 feet, or 21 per cent. That State pro- duces approximately one-fourth of all the chestnut sawed into lumber. Pennsylvania, with an increased output of 3,000,000 feet, or 7 per cent, was the one State to show an advance in 1918 over the year before.

The average value of $27.31 per 1,000 feet reported for chestnut is $5.77, or 27 per cent, over the 1917 value.

BIRCH.

The quantity of birch reported sawed, totaling 316,101,000 feet, was less by 18 per cent than in 1917. The combined cut of Wiscon- sin and Michigan forms two-thirds of the aggregate produced in the United States. Wisconsin’s cut in 1918 was less than the year before by 47,000,000 feet, or 22 per cent, and that of Michigan by 13,000,000 feet, or 21 per cent. An increased output of 3,000,000 feet in New York over the year before lifted that State from sixth to third on the list of producing States.

The advance in the average value of birch was from $24.07 to $29.94 per 1,000 feet, a difference of $5.87, or 24 per cent.

PRODUCTION OF LUMBER, LATH, AND SHINGLES IN 1918. 29 LARCH.

The reported cut of larch, known as tamarack in the Lake States and the Eastern States, amounting to 333,243,000 feet, was within 1 per cent of the total for 1917. Montana, which has led in the pro- duction of larch, cut 16 per cent less than in 1917, and gave way to Idaho in first place. The output in 1918 in Idaho amounted to 119,941,000 feet, an increase of 20 per cent. Washington mills en- larged their reported output from 34,242,000 feet in 1917 to 48,248,- 000 feet in 1918, or 41 percent. The cut in other States was smaller than that reported for the year before.

The average value of larch went from $16.21 to $19.86 per 1,000 feet in 1918, an increase of 23 per cent.

BEECH.

The reported total output of beech of 255,440,000 feet was smaller by 23,000,000 feet, or 8 per cent, than the 1917 cut. The production of beech is well distributed among the States, no Commonwealth or region dominating the cut. West Virginia with an increased cut of 3 per cent over the year before displaced Indiana in second position in rank of producing States. The output in New York and New Hampshire was larger than for the year before.

The average mill value for beech of $25.06 was $5.48 per 1,000 feet, or 28 per cent, above the 1917 value. ?

YELLOW POPLAR.

Yellow poplar production, which declined 17 per cent in 1917 from 1916, fell off 26 per cent in 1918 from 1917. The cut of 241,963,000 feet reported in 1918 is but little more than one-fourth of the quan- tity reported cut in 1909. The cut in 1918 slumped 34 per cent from the 1917 figure in West Virginia, 15 per cent in Tennessee, 24 per cent in Kentucky, 8 per cent in Virginia, and 24 per cent in Georgia.

The average mill value for yellow poplar in 1918 was $35.06 per 1,000 feet; in 1917 it was $27.17; so that there was an advance of 29 per cent for the year.

PRODUCTION OF LUMBER, LATH, AND SHINGLES IN 1918, 31 CEDAR.

Cedar production in the ‘country was 230,476,000 feet in 1918, or 11 per cent smaller than in 1917. The cut in Washington was smaller than the year before by 33,000,000 feet, or 25 per cent; Wash- ington produced 52.6 per cent of all the cedar lumber in the United States in 1917 and 44 per cent in 1918. The cut increased in several States—9 per cent in Oregon, 75 per cent in Idaho, 42 per cent in in Michigan, and slightly in California.

The difference in the species cut in the several regions is responsible for the wide variation in the average value shown for the individual States. In 1917 the average for all States was $19.40; this increased $5.46 per 1,000 feet to $24.86 in 1918, or 28 per cent.

TUPELO.

The total reported cut of 201,103,000 feet of tupelo in 1918 was 20 per cent under that of the year before. Louisiana’s portion of the total cut increased from 51 per cent in 1917 to 61 per cent in 1918, despite the fact that the State’s output was 5,000,000 feet below that of the year before, or 4 percent. Alabama’s cut declined 37 per cent, North Carolina’s 32 per cent, and South Carolina’s 51 per cent. The cut in Arkansas jumped from 4,788,000 to 8,786,000 feet, or 84 per cent. :

A higher average mill value was obtained in 1918 than in 1917, the average value of $22.73 in 1918 being an increase of $4.67 per 1,000 feet, or 26 per cent.

PRODUCTION OF LUMBER, LATH, AND SHINGLES IN 1918. 33 BASSWCOD.

Basswood production, reported as 174,661,000 feet in 1918, was 8 per cent below that of 1917. In Wisconsin the cut was 7 per cent . greater than the year before, and the State’s proportion of the entire output of the country increased from 35.5 per cent to 41.5 per cent. Michigan’s production decreased 22 per cent and West Virginia’s 19 per cent. |

An increase of $8.04 per 1,000 feet—from $25.96 in 1917 to $34 in 1918—took place in the average mill value for basswood. The increase is 31 per cent. .

1 Basswood (or linn) (Tilia americana) is cut in the Lake States. White basswood ( Tilia heterophylia) is cut in the Appalachian Mountain region. Downy basswood ( Tilia pubescens) is cut in limited quantity in the Southern States.

ELM.

The reported cut of elm in 1918, amounting to 166,481,000 feet, is 13 per cent smaller than that for the preceding year. The cut in Wisconsin, the leading State in production, was less than 1 per cent smaller than in 1917. A decrease is recorded of 20 per cent in Mich- igan, 14 per cent in Arkansas, and 25 per cent in Indiana.

The upward trend in prices carried the average mill value from $23.89 in 1917 to $28.19 in 1918, an increase of $4.30, or 18 per cent, per 1,000 feet. 3

Cork (or true rock) elm ( Ulmus racemosa) is cut in the Lake States. aoe elm ( Ulmus alata) and cedar elm ( Ulmus crassifolia) are occasionally cut in the lower Mississippi alley. COTTONWOOD.

In line with the reduction generally in the cut of other woods, the reported production in 1918 of 148,327,000 feet of cottonwood repre- sents a falling off of 17 per cent in the output compared with the year before. The decrease amounted to 28 per cent in Mississippi, 39 per cent in Arkansas, and 37 per cent in Louisiana.

The average value of cottonwood went up $2.84 per 1,000 feet— from $23.19 in 1917 to $26.13 in 1918—an advance of 13 per cent.

ASH.

The reported output of ash in 1918, totaling 147,414,000 feet, was within 7 per cent of the cut for the previous year. In practically every State the production was smaller; the decline in Louisiana amounted to 9 per cent, in Arkansas 7 per cent, in Tennessee 5 per cent, and in Wisconsin 6 per cent, while the output in Indiana was nearly the same as in 1917.

Ash has next to the highest average value of any domestic wood. A 29 per cent increase in the average value took place during the year. The 1917 value was $30.01; the 1918 value, $38.70.

BALSAM FIR.

Balsam fir lumber production in 1918 declined 13 per cent from the year before, the total reported being 65,402,000 feet. Maine mills milled 57 per cent of the country’s total output in 1917 and but 46 per cent in 1918. The cut in this State amounted to 30,161,600 feet and represented a decrease of 30 per cent. The cut was less by 4 per cent in Minnesota, 21 per cent in Michigan, and 17 per cent in Vermont. It was larger by 76 per cent in Wisconsin.

The average mill value of balsam fir jumped from $20.02 in 1917 to $27.27 in 1918. The difference of $7.25 per 1,000 feet was 36 per cent.

PRODUCTION OF LUMBER, LATH, AND SHINGLES IN 1918. 39

MINOR SPECIES.

In Table 37 is shown the quantity reported sawed of a number of woods, both domestic and imported, which have more or less special uses and which are in themselves not important enough to be tabu- lated and discussed separately. The tabulation also indicates the average value reported and the States in which the several woods were sawed. Mahogany forms the largest single item listed; the production was 17 per cent smaller than in 1917.

1 Arbitrary value assigned. PRODUCTION OF LATH.

Lath production in the United States decreased 40 per cent in 1918 in comparison with the output in 1917. The 1917 cut was 17 per cent less than that of 1916. The smaller output reflected the light demand and the character of construction work carried on during the year; lath production fluctuates each year with the number and class of buildings put up. The reduction in lath production was general. For each State listed a decrease is noticeable in a comparison of the 1918 figures with those of the year before. 3

The mills reporting their lath cut in 1918 numbered 909, while in 1917 the number was 1,456. Table 38 shows the number of active milis reporting and the production of each for the last few years.

PRODUCTION OF LUMBER, LATH, AND SHINGLES IN 1918, 41 LUMBER VALUES.

The average values for lumber shown in Table 40 were determined for each species from the individual reports of mills representing every variation incident to the logging, transportation, manufacture, and sale of lumber. More than one-half of the mills, in reporting their cut, furnished values at which sales were made f. o. b. mill. These reports were scrutinized carefully and the figures are undoubt- edly representative.

The table shows the average value of the different woods for speci- fied years from 1907 to 1918, during which period the lumber industry has undergone rather marked vicissitudes. The average value of $24.79 per 1,000 feet for all wodds in 1918 is an increase of $4.47, or 22 per cent, over the 1917 average figure. It is the highest value Tecorded for any one year for which statistics are available. Every wood listed in the table shared in the advance, some to a much greater degree than others, as is revealed in the individual species tables.
