1944 and 1952. This increased dependence on 

 the West will not be continued indefinitely. The 

 trend will be reversed as western old growth is 

 cut over and as cut is more nearly related to 

 forest area and growth capacities of the land. 

 The decreases in the sawtimber cut of eastern 



softwoods and eastern hardwoods may explain in 

 part the increases in the timber growth of those 

 species groups (table 28). Likewise the increase 

 in cut of western species may explain in part the 

 decrease in growth of those species as shown in 

 the same table.
