AMOUNT CONSUMED. 
Since little elm is used in the rough for building construction, ties, 
poles, etc., practically all of the elm timber cut (except that used for 
fuel) eventually reaches the factory, in the form either cf logs or 
lumber, to be manufactured into various products. The annual 
demand for elm by factories in the United States, according to the 
most recent statistics, amounts to about 365,000,000 feet board meas- 
ure, including all forms of raw material. This figure applies more 
parti cularty to the year 1911. There has probably been some diminu- 
tion in the amount used since that time on account of the waning 
supply. Considerable elm wood is used for fuel each year, but no 
estimates are available. 
Table 6 shows the amount of elm used in the factories of each 
State. The States bordering the Great Lakes, also Missouri and 
Arkansas, use the largest amounts. Kentucky, Tennessee, Missis- 
sippi, and Louisiana use considerable elm. A comparison of Tables 
4 and 6 shows that in general those States leading in lumber pro- 
duction also lead in amounts used by factories, indicating that 
industries using elm do not generally get their raw material at any
