or altogether 30,000 million feet of coniferous ma- 

 terial, leaving for all the hardwoods 10,000 million 

 feet, of which the oaks furnished 3000 million feet. 



The largest part of the cut was furnished by the 

 Southern states and the Lake Region, each with 

 13,000 million feet, New England and the North 

 Atlantic states furnishing 6000 million, the hard- 

 wood region of the Central states 5000 million, the 

 Pacific states 4000 million, the rest, of 2000 million 

 feet, coming from scattered localities. 



Since that' time the general relation of the dif- 

 ferent regions has remained the same, but the rela- 

 tive amounts have changed, the White Pine cut of 

 the Lake Region has been considerably reduced 

 owing to waning supplies, the Southern and Pacific 

 coast cut has been increased. (For further statis- 

 tics, see Appendix.) 



Our principal and most important supplies, then, 

 are found in the White Pine of the lake states and the 

 yellow pines of the Gulf and South Atlantic states. 



The Atlantic forest, as we have stated, is essen- 

 tially a forest of deciduous-leaved trees, in which 

 the conifers occur mixed or in small bodies, Only
