^Estimated from Census Bureau's lumber production 

 total for South Dakota's 1962 output (50 million board feet, 

 lumber tally) adjusted by western South Dakota's percentage 

 of the State's total saw log receipts (96.3 percent) and the 

 assumption that lumber production was distributed among 

 sawmill size classes in the same proportion as their reported 

 saw log receipts. 



Sawmill size class estimated from saw log receipts 

 rather than from lumber production.
