*It must be noted that the Forest Service is cr. a fiscal year 

 basis that ends September 30 and their volumes for the National 

 Forest are based on scaled volumes. Because cf the lag in 

 actual harvest -o scaled volumes, the harvest vould hardlv 

 represent any production after mid-year 1988. In a constantly 

 increasing market as we saw in 1988, the Forest Service method 

 does not fairly represent the trend set during the 1988 

 calendar year. For this reason, the Alaslca Lcrgers Association 

 has polled its -embers who use National Fores- timber to obtain 

 their 1988 har\-est. The results are as follcvs:
