1 Hemlock ( Tsuga canadensis) is cut in the Lake States, Northeastern States, and the Appalachian region. 

 Westernhemlock( Tsugaheterophylla) is manufactured in Washington and Oregon. 

 Black (or western mountain) hemlock ( Tsuga mertensiana) is cut in small quantities. Carolina hemlock 

 ( Tsuga caroliniana) is occasionally cut in the Appalachian region. 



WESTERN YELLOW PINE. 



The 1,707,784,000 feet of western yellow pine reported sawed in 1918 

 was 157,000,000 feet, or 8 per cent, under the 1917 output. The cut 

 in California was 25 per cent less than in 1917 and that State gave way 

 to Oregon as the leading State in production. California furnished 

 26 per cent of all the western yellow pine cut in 1917 and but 21 per 

 cent in 1918. The cut in Idaho was practically the same as for the 

 preceding year, and a slightly increased total was shown for both 

 Washington and Montana. 



The average value of $20.87 per 1,000 feet for western yellow pine 

 differs from the 1917 average of $19.59 by $1.28, or practically 7 per 

 cent.
