Table 3 shows the reported cut in each State arranged by mill 

 classes. The 764 Class 5 mills reporting accounted for 63 per cent 

 of the total reported cut. Of the Class 5 mills 286 are located in the 

 Pacific group of States. This is an increase of 44 mills, or 18 per cent 

 since the enumeration by the census in 1919. 



The Lake States show a reduction of 11 Class 5 mills, or 12 per 

 cent since 1919, although the number in Wisconsin increased. The 

 principal reduction was in Michigan. Some mills formerly rated in 

 Class 5, now appear in Class 4 through reduction of their output. 



The indication in the South are that one-eighth or more of the 

 Class 5 mills either cut out in 1920 or reduced their cut to the Class 

 4 limits. The situation in the South was so unfavorable in 1920 that 

 fully dependable deductions can not be made. The reports for 1921 

 should reveal to what extent the productive capacity of the South 

 has been reduced.
