In 1905, the north eastern states, the Lake states, and the 

 Pacific states were producing approximately identical percentages 

 in the total cut, namely 14 per cent of the total for each 

 geographical set of states. 



The southern states were producing in 1905 three times 14 

 per cent, or as much as the northeastern, the Lake states, 

 and the Pacific states taken together. 



The Census Bureau has issued comparative reports for the 

 year 1907, 1908 and 1909, illustrating the geographic distribution 

 of our lumber production. The various sets of states have 

 supplied the following percentages:
