A NATIONAL PLAK FOR AMERICAN FORESTRY 



CORDWOOD 



Table 9 and figure 8 supply information as to the regional and 

 United States distribution by ownership of cprdwood on cordwood 

 areas. Fifty-two percent of this cordwood is industrially owned, 

 32 percent is in farm woodland, and but 16 percent is publicly owned. 

 As would be expected, the percentage in farm woodland is much 

 larger, and that in public much smaller, than the corresponding 

 percentages for saw timber. And, of course, owing to the vastly 

 greater areas of this type of stand in the East, the proportions of it 

 in all ownerships are very much greater than for saw timber. The
