ELM. 



Elm is commercially classified as soft elm and rock elm. White 

 or American elm ( Ulmus americana) and slippery or red elm ( Ulmus 

 yembescens) are generally sold as soft elm. Cork elm ( Ulmus race- 

 m.osa) is the real rock elm and distinguished as such by the lumber 

 trade. 



The production reported in 1916 totaled 195,266,000 feet, which 

 s an increase of 9.8 per cent over the preceding year's cut. Pro- 

 duction for the last few years has remained almost stationary. 



Wisconsin and Michigan enlarged their output slightly in 1916, 

 and their combined cut amounted to nearly one-half of the produc- 

 tion for the entire country. 



The computed cut was 240,000,000 feet. 



The average mill value was $19.46 per 1,000 feet.
