 APPENDIX. 



There are other wood-using industries in Florida than 

 those shown in preceding tables and statistics of this 

 report. The Bureau of the Census, in co-operation with 

 the Forest Service, collects certain data each year and 

 publishes it. These statistics show the quantity of lum- 

 ber cut annually by the sawmills in the State; the num- 

 ber of lath and shingles ; the extent of the wood distilling 

 industries; amount of tanbark and tanning extracts pro- 

 duced ; railroad ties bought ; staves and headings for bar- 

 rels ; cut of veneer and the kinds of wood used ; and other 

 facts of interest.

 presented below. The total cut of lumber, in the State 

 for 1910 was 992,091,000 feet, apportioned among species 

 as follows: 



Yellow pine 921,323,000 



Cypress 66,117,000 



Yellow poplar 1;,306,000 



Bed Cedar 1,275,000 



Hickory 1,119,000 



Oak 298,000 



Cottonwood 240,000 



Ash 238,000 



Tupelo 153,000 



Bed gum 11,000 



Maple 11,000 



Lath used by plasterers are made at many sawmills 

 from large slabs and defective logs, which otherwise would 

 be wasted. Most of the lath are pine, but any wood, 

 except the hardest, will answer. The output in Florida 

 in 1910 was 42,404,000 lath.
