FORESTRY IN NEW ENGLAND 



The only other sections of the United States producing spruce 

 pulpwood in large quantities are the Lake States and the 

 Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina portions of the 

 southern Appalachians.^ Neither of these sections approaches 

 the spruce region in importance, either in the production of 

 spruce or poplar pulpwood. The figures in the following table 

 serve to show the importance of the pulpwood industry in the 

 spruce region.^ 



PULPWOOD CONSUMPTION IN THE UNITED STATES FOR 

 THE YEAR 1909. 



5 The amount consumed in Vermont by species is not included here as it is in the census figure 

 included under " all other states." For all species the consumption in Vermont is 7o,977 cords. 



In the table above the United States has been divided into 

 three portions, the New England States, New York, and all 

 other states. The first two divisions taken together represent 

 the spruce region. It will be noted that the figures relate to the 

 pulpwood consumed in the mills rather than to the amount cut 

 in a state. Figures to show the latter are not available. For 

 our purposes it is of little importance whether the pulpwood con- 

 sumed in a given state was cut there or not, so long as it was cut 

 in the same forest region. It may safely be assumed that practi- 

 cally the entire amount of domestic spruce and poplar pulpwood 



^ Oregon produces a small quantity of western spruce pulpwood. 



^ The figures in this table are compiled from the publication issued under date 

 of May 19, 191 1, by the U. S. Bureau of the Census, entitled "Forest Products of 

 the United States, 1909."
