The amount of timber reported as cut for pulpwood does not indicate 

 the quantity consumed in the pulp mills, because a very large proportion 

 of the stock used in these mills comes from Canada. Still one pulp mill 

 reported its consumption of Adirondack stock at 50,073 cords; another at 

 35,394 cords; another at 34,445; another at 33,000; and one at 26,000.
