On a basis of 600 feet to the cord this would be equivalent to

Of the 289,125,600 feet consumed in the manufacture of wood 

 pulp, about four-fifths was spruce, the remainder consisting of 

 balsam, hemlock, pine, and poplar. It is impossible to state the 

 exact proportion of spruce, because many of the mills were unable 

 to classify their returns in this respect. 



From the previous statements of forest production in the 

 Adirondacks as published annually in my reports, it will be seen 

 that the consumption of wood for pulp has increased from 51,966,- 

 262 feet, in 1890, to 289,125,600 feet, in 1904; and the hardwood 

 output, from 5,835,844 feet, in 1890, to 47,412,090 feet, in 1904. 

 To the person who is interested in studying the forestry problem
