86 THIRTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE 



Annual Forest Production. 



As explained in my previous reports I am unable to state here the 

 timber product of our forests for the current year, because the returns 

 from the .various mills and industries are not obtainable in time. The 

 mill owners cannot make out their returns until the close of the year, 

 after which several weeks are required for completing the collation and 

 tabulation of these statistics. Hence I can only submit at this time a 

 statement of the production for the year 1906. 



The total output of the forests and woodlands of the State of New 

 York for 1906 amounted to 1,256,209,634 feet, board measure, an increase 

 of 44,139,466 feet over that of 1905. From the returns made by the mills 

 the following classification was obtained:
