Cottonwood. 



The cut of Cottonwood reported for 1905 by 

 422 mills was 236,000,000 feet. The leading 

 state was Arkansas, with 90,920,000 feet, or 

 38.5 per cent of the total. Next in order came 

 Mississippi, with 43,462,000 feet, or 18.4 per 

 cent; Louisiana, with 38,693,000, or 16.4 per 

 cent; Tennessee, with 2S,6S3,000, or 12.2 per 

 cent ; and small amounts in twenty-three othjer 

 states, aggregating 34,242,000 feet, or 14.5 per 

 cent of the total. The cut of Cottonwood in 

 1899, according to census figures, was 401,437,- 

 000 feet, so it is probable that the cut in 1905 

 was considerably larger than is indicated by 

 the reports to the Forest Service, though not 

 eqdal to that of 1809.
