There are some striking things shown in this table. Since 1880 

 Michigan has procliicecl over 93 billion feet of lumber, or 13.2 per 

 cent of the output of the entire United States : Wisconsin^ TO billion 

 feet, or 10 per cent of the total; Pennsylvania, 53 billion, or 7.6 per 

 cent, and Minnesota 38 billion, or 5.4 per cent. The combined output 

 of these four States since 1880 is almost 256 billion feet, or 36 per 

 cent of the total production of the United States. 



Xo less striking than the increase in output has been the shifting 

 of the sources of supply, as one region has been cut out and another 

 invaded. The percentage of the total lumber cut furnished by the 

 principal regions since 1850, according to census fig-ures, is as follows :
