 statw. The sawmills of the st4ite nr<> oreililed with a 1913 output of 

 nsh IuuiImt of 15,517,000 feel, but species are not separately shown. 

 The wooU is very strong, stiflT, hard, anil moderately heavy. The 

 iH'owth is (generally rapid uud the rin);s are wide and distinct, gino); 

 a coarse and unattractive fij;ure to the lumber. Accidental formw 

 i>f growtli produce curly ash which occasionally displays a very at- 

 tractive fi);ure; and sometimes large burls are sawed into artistic 

 veneor which furniture makers value highly. The production of ash 

 lumber in the I'nited .St.itcs in 1913 was L'07,S1G,II0(I feet. Many 

 million fei>t of ash go to factories direct from the forest, and do 

 not pass through sawmills. In that respect it is like hickory. It is 

 rut in bolts and billets in the forest without passing through the 

 sawmill stage. This kind of utilization is indicated by the wood's 

 extensive use in the state for handles as shown bv the table below.

Hannwocii) 

 Three liasswoods occur in the Americnii forext, the eummon or 

 northern spivies (THiti anirriciniii), nnd dinvny busKwood (Tili<i pu- 

 hrHccnn) and white bnsswood (Tilui htt,ro\thiilUi) of southern range. 

 The wood of ono bo much resembles another that no attempt is mnd<; 

 to separate the species in the lumber yard. It would be very diOicull 

 to do so, and no practical purpose would be served. The wood is 

 white, soft, light, nnd without figure. However, it is odorless, taste- 

 less, and stainless nnd therefore in demiind by manuf.ietiirers of 

 kitchen furniture and shipping containers intended to hold food. These 

 are the use for which the largest (piaiitities of basswood are de- 

 manded in the state. Indiana's factories use over twico as much 

 basswood annually as its gawmills cut into lumber, tlio factories de- 

 manding 12,.S5'J,003 feet and the sawmills cutting 5,615,000 feet in 

 1913. Table 17 indicates that over 60 per cent of the state's bass- 

 wood lumber cut was used by factories in the state.
