1 Similar in format to table 5 of Basic Forest Statistics for the United States, 

 January 1945 (revised 1950 issue) , but the data are not directly comparable be- 

 cause of changes in standards between 1945 and 19.52. 



2 Because of different definitions of commercial forest land adopted by the 

 Forest Service and other public agencies, acreage figures for these ownerships 

 may vary from actual published commercial forest land acreages of the public 

 agencies concerned. 



3 Includes lumber, pulp, and other wood-manufacturing industries. 

 ' Less than 0.5 thousand acres. 



5 Included with "Other private" to avoid possible disclosure of commercial 



forest land area owned by individual wood-using industries in particular 

 States. In regions where these combinations have been made. State figures 

 for wood-using industries and "Other private" do not add to regional totals 

 that give the proper ownership distribution on a regional basis. Sectional 

 and national totals also show correct ownership distribution. In all other 

 cases State figures are in agreement with regional totals. 



« Included is an undetermined amount of commercial forest land occurring 

 on a total area of 333,040 acres which had been transferred, or was in the 

 process of being traiisferred, to "other" Federal ownership for conversion to 

 reservoir use.
