' Because of the manner in which wood pulp production and capacity data are customarily reported by the Bureau of the Census and the American Paper 
Institute, Inc., the data in this table may represent only partial production in the South or some production outside the South, as follows: 1899-07 Virginia 
only; 1908-10 Virginia and North Carolina only; 1911-40 estimates derived from the South’s share of capacity and census data on production for States in 
the South as well as various other States reported with them; 1943-68 Maryland included; 1969-84 Maryland and Kentucky included. 
? Sulfate production estimates generally include States outside the South in the same manner as total production. After 1980, sulfate production alsc 
includes small amounts of soda production. 
3 Breakdown not available. 
Sources: Derived from wood pulp production and capacity data reported by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census; the American Paper 
Institute, Inc.; and the Southern Pulp and Paper directories.
