 and beech.

 100 M to 500 M board feet per year. 



Newton & Davis in the northeastern part of the town cut 

 1 ,000 M board feet per year. 



C. Perry in the northern part cuts 200 M board feet per year, 

 most of which is baled stock. 



G. E. Pierce has done some cutting in the western part of the 

 town. 



The daily capacity of these mills is about 8 M board feet. 

 They do not work steadily on account of a shortage of labor.
