Appendix 

 As stated in the introduction, this bulletin considers only the manu- 

 facture of finished wooden articles, but not the production of primary 

 products, such as lumber, cooperage and veneer, etc. Statistics on 

 such products which are manufactured directly from logs or bolts 

 were formerly compiled annually by the Census, and for this reason 

 the Forest Service series of state wood-using studies, including the 

 study which secured the data reported in this bulletin, have not in- 

 cluded the production of lumber, cooperage, etc. However, in order 

 to make this report complete the latest available figures on the pri- 

 mary industries are here presented. The ti)tal for each such industry 

 and the date of the data are shown in Table 66. 



Table 66 

 Primary Industries of Indiana 



Lumber (1913) 332,993,000 board feet 



Lath (1912) 2,244,000 pieces 



Shingles (1912) 19.5.000 pieces 



Slack staves (1911) 9,.S05,000 staves 



Slack heading (1911) 2.289,000 sets 



Slack hoops ^(1911) 62,056,000 hoops 



Veneer (1911) 28,525.000 feet log scale 



Tanning extract (1909) 7,668 tons 



A small quantity of tight cooperage was made in the state, but it 

 was too small to be shown separately in the census statistics. There 

 are no pulp mills in the state and no distillation plants. Considerable 

 quantities of railroad ties are undoubtedly cut in the state and also 

 some telephone poles, but available statistics do not show the produc- 

 tion of these by states. 



Further data showing the amount of each kind of wood used by 

 certain of the above industries are available as follows:

It is worthy of note that Indiana stood first in the production of 

 walnut lumber in 1913, cutting one-fourth of the reported production 

 in that year and second in beech, of which Michigan reported 24 per 

 cent and Indiana 15 per cent. The state also ranked third in elm 

 following Wisconsin and Michigan and fourth in ash and sycamore.

Wood Uses in West Virginia 



The Forest Service's report of West Virginia's wood-using 

 industries has been published, this being the thirty-seventh state 

 in the series thus far brought out. The statistics were collected 

 and compiled by J. C. Nellis and John T. Harris, and the printing 

 of the report was done by the state of West Virginia under the 

 terms of the contract between the government and the state. The 

 work of collecting and tabulating the data bears evidence of hav- 

 ing been done with thoroughness and care. Unfortunately, as much 

 cannot be said of the printing; for the proof correcting was so 

 poorly done as to be painfully noticeable. 



West Virginia lies in the heart of the hardwood region, yet it 

 produces some excellent softwoods, especially spruce which ranks 

 among the finest in the world. Ten softwood species and nearly 

 one hundred hardwoods grow in the state. 



The shops and factories use annually about 71,500,000 feet of 

 softwoods and 200,000,000 feet of hardwoods. The leading hard- 

 woods used are the following, named in the order of their impor- 

 tance: White oak, red oak, yellow poplar, hickory, chestnut, beech, 

 sugar maple, and birch. The leading softwoods are hemlock, spruce, 

 longleaf pine, white pine, and shortleaf pine. The total annual 

 consumption by shops and factories in the state amounts to 273,- 

 204,150 feet, valued at $5,430,746 delivered at factories. That 

 is an average value of $19.88 per 1,000 feet. The state produces 

 most of the wood demanded by its factories, the home grown supply 

 being 221,448,900 feet and the imports from other states 51,755,280. 



Nineteen wood-using industries are carried on in the state and 

 the quantity of wood annually consumed by each is shown in the 

 following table:

Miscellaneous 19,963,000 



Total 273,204,150 



The latest report on lumber output shows that West Virginia 

 sawmills cut 362,025,000 feet of softwood yearly, and 887,534,000 

 feet of hardwood, a total of 1,249,559,000 feet.
