UTILIZATION OF BLACK WALNUT. 



31 



In West Virginia and Virginia the mills generally cut little walnut 

 lumber, although these States furnish considerable saw timber. The 

 logs are shipped very largely to mills in other States. The same is 

 true of North Carolina and Arkansas. Pennsylvania, Michigan, and 

 Maryland, which formerly furnished large amounts of walnut lumber, 

 produced only small quantities during those years in which the out- 

 put was recorded. 



Figures 4 and 5 show graphically the reported production by coun- 

 ties for 1916 and 1918. These maps show a movement to the west of 

 the Mississippi of a great part of the walnut lumber manufacturing 

 industry. 



Figure 6 shows the order in which the principal walnut-manufac- 

 turing States stood in different years in point of lumber production. 

 It is quite remarkable that Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois, after a con- 

 tinuous and heavy drain upon this region for so many years, rank 

 so high in 1918. Missouri, Tennessee, and Kentucky since 1899 have 

 also maintained a notably steady output.
