Table 9 gives in detail for a representative part of the French Gulch 

 timber sale on the Deerlodge National Forest, Mont., the cost of 

 production of various-sized stulls, converter poles, lagging poles, and 

 cordwood. Table 10 shows the market price received for the various 

 products, together with the net profit per piece or per cord. The 

 figures per thousand board feet run high for the smaller pieces because 

 of their extremely low board-foot contents.

1 Since the mill overrun is 20 per cent, 1,200 board feet mill run scale will equal 1,000 feet log scale. The 

 mill run selling price of S15.80 per 1,000 board feet must, therefore, be increased by 20 per cent to make it 

 comparable with the other figures, which are based on log scale.
