PART I.— USES AND SUPPLY OF WOOD IN ARKANSAS. 

 KINDS AND QUALITIES OF WOODS USED. 



More than 91 per cent of the wood manufactured into finished 

 commodities in Arkansas is grown in the State. Practically none 

 would come in from the outside except for the fact that forested 

 regions lie near the borders and seek their most convenient markets 

 across the line. The State produces more than enough wood to 

 supply all its industries; and, except four or five species, it grows 

 all the kinds it needs. 



Table 1 lists 27 woods used in the State. Some are really two or 

 more species grouped as one. Fifteen oaks grow in Arkansas, but 

 the manufacturers reported only two, white and red. The State has 

 half a dozen species of hickory, all of commercial importance, but 

 all are grouped as one; three kinds of maple are cut, but are sold as 

 one; three or four of ash, but only one is recognized in the market; 

 but not one manufacturer reported loblolly pine, though a compara- 

 tively large amount is cut in Arkansas. It is evidently marketed as 

 shortleaf.
