Slightly more than half of the total sawtimber 

 volume is privately owned (fig. 20). About 15 

 percent is in farm ownership, 37 percent in forest 

 industry and other private, and 44 percent in 

 Federal ownership. Unhke forest area, timber 

 volume in forest industry ownership was not dis-

 nonfarm private ownership probably includes 

 about 15 percent.

 in both the North and South, and is fairly equally
