 21 percent ponderosa pine, 

 18 percent Douglas-fir, 10

The 1950 saxvmill output of 

 925 million board feet was 

 exceeded only in 1925. An 

 important difference between 

 these two years is that a 

 much smaller proportion of 

 the total output in 1950 

 was white pine. This is 

 indicated by the upper chart.
