.\ccordiug to statistics compiled by the Census IJureau at Washington,

 production of barrel heads, and occupies third place in the production 

 of barrel staves. The production of barrel heads in .Vrkausas during 

 the year 1011 was three times llii' amount produceil during the preceding 

 y-ar. This remarkable gain, together with the losses in production of 

 barrel heads by Michigan, Missouri and Tennessee, places .\rkansas tirsr 

 in the production of this commodity. Tlie total output of barrel heads

 where it is impossible for wagcms and teams to do any hauling.
