PLANING-MILL PRODUCTS. 



Three-fourths of all the lumber demanded by the wood-using indus- 

 tries of Arkansas is represented in Table 3 as planing-mill products. 

 This is a somewhat general term intended to cover all planing-mill 

 output which is not made for some particular purpose. Many saw- 

 mills, and especially the large ones, plane much lumber, chiefly to 

 reduce its weight and lessen freight charges. Much of the material 

 in Table 3 is lumber that has been planed but has not been further 

 manufactured. Much of it also is heavy timber, suitable for bridges, 

 trestles, and framework, or boards which might be used for sheathing, 

 subfloors, fencing, or many other purposes. The major portion of the 

 material listed, however, consists of lumber that is practically finished 

 and ready for the use to which it is finally put, and includes such items 

 as flooring, ceiling, siding, partition, wainscoting, etc. The dividing 

 line between products represented in this table and those in Table 7 

 (miUwork) is not always clear, but is generally based on whether the 

 material upon leaving the planing mill is in final form for use, such 

 as flooring, or whether it is to undergo further manufacture. The 

 lumber shown in Table 3 is generally surfaced, including tongued and 

 grooved material; that in Table 7 is milled still further and is made 

 into sash, doors, blinds, molding, or some particular commodity.
