ROUGH FOREST PRODUCTS. 



It was pointed out on a preceding page that this study does not include 

 the rough lumber produced by the Pennsylvania sawmills, nor the State's out- 

 put of shingles, lath, cooperage, wood distillation, veneer, pulpwood, etc. 

 The Bureau of the Census, co-operating with the Forest Service, yearly col- 

 lects statistics for these commodities and in order to make this report com- 

 plete in all phases of wood consumption, the census figures have been copied 

 from the latest bulletins, 1911-12, in so far as they relate to Pennsylvania, 

 and are presented in tabular form in the following paragraphs.

In the production of chestnut lumber, Pennsylvania is second among the

 table shows 22 woods cut in the State in 1912, arranged according to quantity,
