1 The data here shown for 1915 are the computed totals by classes of mills. 



•The total for 1909 difcers from that showninother tables because 4,.543 mills, cutting a total of 124,966,000 

 feet, or less than 50 M feet each, are omitted above. 



Figure 2 on pages 10 and 11 shows graphically the production by 

 classes of mills and the total cut in each State. 



PRODUCTION BY STATES. 



Table. 3 shows the reported lumber production by States for the 

 years 1899 to 1914 and the computed State totals for 1915. Because 

 of the closer touch of the western offices of the Forest Service with 

 the mills in their territory, and the consequent greater accuracy of 

 the estimates of probable 1915 total cut of the Western States, the 

 figures for these States are not rounded off as are the corresponding 

 figures for other States. The many thousand mills east of the 

 Eocky Mountains make only an approximate estimate possible. 



Table 3 is designed to show the changes which are taking place 

 in the regional production of the country's supply of lumber. The 

 total reported cuts for each State for each of the years indicated are 

 shown on one line and can readily be followed across the page for 

 the purpose of noting rise or decline. In general, the table indicates 

 the declining cut in the Northeastern, Lake, and Central States and
