Oak. 



The cut i)f white and red oak reported for 

 1905 is given in the following tables. No 

 further separation into the various kinds 

 hi oak was practicable. Without question, 

 n number of species were included under 

 each head by the manufacturers, and quite 

 probably in making out their reports they 

 tliil qpt, in many cases, distinguish carefully 

 between tin white anil red oak. The oaks are 

 among the most widely distributed hardwoods, 

 and reports of oak lumber were received from 

 thirty-five stairs. The total amount of white 

 oak reported was 1,210,216,000 feet, of which 

 West Virginia produced 12.9 per cent. Kentucky 

 12.7 per cent, Ohio 11.4 per cent, Tennessee 

 101; per cent, and .Indiana Hi per cent. The 

 total amount of red oak reported was 623,553,- 



0110 feet, if which Tenni'ss nt 12.8 per cent. 



Arkansas 10.8 per cent. Kentucky 9.3 per cent, 

 and Indiana 8.8 per cent. 



While the Forest Service figures upon the out- 

 put of oak in 1905 are incomplete, there is no 

 doubt that the cut is decreasing because of the 

 diminished supply of stumpage. The census 

 reports show a decrease of about '.14r1.lMHi.oiHi 

 feet between 1 n'.iii and 1904.
