Table 3 shows the production by capacity classes, as does Table 2, 
but here the amounts are listed by kinds of woods. This table shows 
that the quantity of each kind of lumber sawed by the different 
capacity classes of sawmills indicates that about 60 per cent of the 
total lumber production in 1913 was sawed by mills cutting 10,000,000 
feet and over annually. Some of these mills cut but one kind of wood, 
such as yellow pine or Douglas fir, but others cut several kinds, as 
in the case of hemlock and hardwood mills in the Lake States. The 
table, therefore, should not be interpreted to indicate the existence 
of mills of any class sawing any wood exclusively. Mills sawing 
10,000,000 feet and over annually sawed in 1909, the only other year 
for which such figures are available, 19,125,123,000 feet, or 43 per 
cent of the total quantity of lumber cut in that year, while mills of 
the other classes produced somewhat larger proportions of the total 
lumber cut than in 1913.
