STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT 



By E. N. Lowe. 



The census of 1910 has furnished some statistical matter 

 that was not available when the Forest Bulletins Nos. 

 5 and 7 were prepared. A brief summary of these will be 

 given in the following pages, and, it is believed, will add 

 value to the publications. 



In 1909 the business of lumbering and tiinber products 

 employed in Mississippi 33,397 wage earners, which was 

 66.3 per cent of total wage earners engaged in manufac- 

 turing industries of the State, as against 22,432, or 58 

 per cent, in 1904. This increase was largely due to a more 

 complete enumeration of the smaller rural mills in 1909. 

 The value of the products in 1909 was $42,793,000, or 

 53.1 per cent of the total values of the products of manu- 

 facturing industries of the State during that year.

 LUMBER AND TIMBER PRODUCTS. 



Expressed in Thousands. 



Turpentine and rosin, estimated separately from lum- 

 ber and timber products, in 1909 were valued at SI, 475,000, 

 while in 1904 the valuation was $2,366,000, showing a 

 decided falling off. Mississippi ranked fourth among the 

 States in rosin and turpentine.
