SHINGLES. 



Table 38 shows the production of shingles, by States, in 1916, and 

 for comparative purposes the quantity reported in 1915 and 1912. 

 Shingle output statistics were not secured for either 1913 or 1914. 

 The production of 9,477,077,000 shingles in 1916, while 12 per cent 

 more than the output of the year before, is considerably below the 

 production of 1912 and the immediately preceding years, in which 

 the cut exceeded 12,000,000,000 annually. The number of active 

 mills given in the tabulation as reporting — 1 ,939 — probably does not 

 include all the plants making shingles, since many shingle mills are 

 small and impermanent in character. Only a systematic county 

 canvass in each State could secure an approximately correct enumera- 

 tion. However, Washington produced 71 per cent of the total cut 

 reported in 1916; and this and other important producing States in 

 the West were covered intensively by the district offices of the Forest 

 Service, so the production figures are believed to approach closely 

 the actual output.
