  The 
  statute 
  prescribes 
  that 
  the 
  Superintendent 
  of 
  Forests 
  shall 
  

   make 
  an 
  annual 
  report 
  showing 
  the 
  amount 
  of 
  lumber 
  manufac- 
  

   tured 
  and 
  wood 
  used 
  for 
  commercial 
  purposes 
  from 
  timber 
  grown 
  

   within 
  the 
  State. 
  These 
  figures 
  have, 
  as 
  has 
  been 
  the 
  custom 
  for 
  

   some 
  years, 
  been 
  secured. 
  The 
  work 
  was 
  done 
  in 
  cooperation 
  with 
  

   the 
  United 
  States 
  Forest 
  Service 
  and 
  has 
  been 
  accepted 
  and 
  pub- 
  

   lished 
  by 
  the 
  Bureau 
  of 
  Census. 
  The 
  work 
  was 
  done 
  in 
  this 
  office 
  

   and 
  reports 
  received 
  from 
  2308 
  mills. 
  In 
  order 
  to 
  secure 
  and 
  

   tabulate 
  these 
  figures, 
  a 
  large 
  amount 
  of 
  correspondence 
  and 
  office 
  

   work 
  has 
  been 
  necessary 
  which 
  Mr. 
  Pierce 
  E. 
  Beswick 
  has 
  con- 
  

   ducted 
  most 
  diligently. 
  

  

  The 
  statistics 
  for 
  the 
  first 
  time 
  have 
  been 
  tabulated 
  by 
  counties 
  

   and 
  the 
  various 
  figures 
  will 
  be 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  accompanying 
  tables. 
  

   Maps 
  have 
  also 
  been 
  prepared 
  showing 
  the 
  production 
  of 
  a 
  few 
  of 
  

   the 
  leading 
  species 
  with 
  varying 
  shading 
  for 
  each 
  county 
  depend- 
  

   ing 
  upon 
  the 
  quantity 
  reported. 
  The 
  maps 
  and 
  the 
  figures 
  indi- 
  

   cate 
  the 
  production 
  according 
  to 
  the 
  location 
  of 
  the 
  mills 
  manu- 
  

   facturing 
  the 
  lumber 
  or 
  other 
  material 
  and 
  not 
  by 
  place 
  of 
  pro- 
  

   duction 
  because 
  our 
  data 
  is 
  secured 
  from 
  the 
  mill 
  operators.
