Projections of growth and inventories presented 

 in a later section, however, show a marked drop in 

 the average size of timber prospectively available, 

 and hence a prospective drop in the recovery of 

 lumber and plywood per cubic foot of logs. 

 Although possible changes in softwood lumber 



standards and further improvements in technology 

 would tend to increase product recovery per cubic 

 foot of logs, some net reductions in product yields 

 per cubic foot of logs have been considered likely, 

 as indicated in table 48.
