states supply more, both in quantity and kinds, than an}' other 

 region. Yellow pine long-leaf and shortleaf in nearly equal quan- 

 tities heads the list, but the oaks, cypress, red gum, chestnut, 

 cottonwood, hickory and poplar furnished a large percent of the 

 demand. The Lake States region contributed the largest part of 

 the white pine, which, in amount, constituted over 40 percent of all 

 the woods going into further manufacture. Most of the sugar maple 

 reported came from this region, and also the beech and hemlock. 

 Michigan furnished the most and Minnesota next. Only four woods 

 were supplied entirely by Ohio-cut timber. They were: Cucum- 

 ber, hackberry, applewood and pitch pine. Western larch sent in 

 from Rocky Mountain regions and sweet magnolia from Louisiana 

 are included in the list. The proportion of the total of the different 

 woods listed as grown in or out of the state is also shown. In every 

 instance where a species was reported as partly grown within the 

 state, the average price of the home-grown wood was less than the 

 cost of the material coming from outside.
