 BALSAM FIR. 



Balsam fir lumber production in 1918 declined 13 per cent from 

 the year before, the total reported being 65,402,000 feet. Maine 

 mills milled 57 per cent of the country's total output in 1917 and but 

 46 per cent in 1918. The cut in this State amounted to 30,161,000 

 feet and represented a decrease of 30 per cent. The cut was less by 

 4 per cent in Minnesota, 21 per cent in Michigan, and 17 per cent in 

 Vermont. It was larger by 76 per cent in Wisconsin. 



The average mill value of balsam fir jumped from $20.02 in 1917 

 to $27.27 in 1918. The difference of $7.25 per 1,000 feet was 36 per 

 cent.
