TABLE 11. AVERAGE STUMPAGE VALUE PER THOUSAND FEET, BY SPECIES, FOR THE PRINCIPAL TIM HER 



STATES. 



Tablp 11 shows the average stumpage value of the 

 different species in the principal lumber states. Under 

 the name yellow pine are combined all species popularly 

 known by that name which are used for lumber, such 

 as long-leaf, short-leaf, loblolly, and Cuban pines of the 

 South, and the western yellow pine (Pinun ponderosa) 

 of the West. The southern yellow pines show stump- 

 age values generally higher in the Eastern states, where 

 timber is now less abundant, and where long-leaf pine 

 is most predominant, the price ranging from $1.60 in 

 Virginia to $0.86 in Arkansas, with an average stump- 



age value of about $1.15. Western yellow pine brings 

 a much smaller price $0.85 in Washington and $0.79 in 

 Oregon, while in California it is $1.17. 



Under the head of white pine are two species, Pinus 

 tttrobm of the East and Piniix inonficoln, of the North- 

 west. The eastern white pine has, on the whole, the 

 highest stunipage value of any of the species here given, 

 ranging in the states in which it is of importance be- 

 tween $3.50 and $4 per thousand feet. Western white 

 pine is reported only from Idaho, and there in small 

 quantity at $1.50. Norway pine is reported in quantity
