' Similar in format to table 2 of Basic Forest Statistics for the United 

 States, January 1945 (revised 1950 issue) , but the data are not directly com- 

 parable because of changes in standards between 1945 and 1952. 



' Tlicre is still some old-growth sawtimber in the East, but it is scattered 

 and its area is relatively small. For this reason, none of the East's saw- 

 timber area has been classified as old-growth except a small area of ponderosa 

 pine in eastern South Dakota. Elsewhere in the East, the area is included 

 with young-growth sawtimber.
