BULLETIN 308, U. S. DEPARTMENT OP AGRICULTURE. 



The demand for standing shortleaf pine timbers in Arkansas is 

 indicated well by the prices offered for Government timber on the 

 Arkansas National Forest. The timber is located mostly in the 

 rougher and more inaccessible portions of the State, and is cut up 

 somewhat by small private holdings. Timber sales in 1914 under 

 competitive bids in this rough region were made at prices ranging 

 from about $2.25 up to $3 per thousand feet. 



The stumpage values for shortleaf pine were collected by the Forest 

 Service for the year 1912 from the various States in the form both of 

 reports of sales actually made and estimates of buyers and others 

 qualified to know market prices. The average values reported by 

 lumber companies in 1912 and in 1907 for various States are shown in 

 Table 13.
