BASIC STATISTICS 



George F. Burks 



Of the 81 tables presented here, the first 19 give detailed statistics for individual States. The 

 others contain basic statistics for regions and sections. In addition, various summaries of these are 

 included in appropriate sections of the report. Tables presenting statistics on ownership have not been 

 brought together in one group but are in order according to subject matter, such as area, volume, pro- 

 tection, planting, and productivity of cutover lands. For reliability of statistics, see section on Ade- 

 quacy of Data, p. 649.
