SECONDARY INDUSTRIES. 
Statistics have been collected by the Forest Service covering the 
use of lumber by factories in the manufacture of various wooden 
products during the years 1909 to 1913. Figures on the annual con- 
sumption of basswood during this period are shown in Table 17 by 
classes of industries and in Table 18 by States. The quantities of 
basswood used for these different purposes are generally less at the 
present time than these statistics give. It is believed, however, that 
the figures show in a comparative way the importance of the differ- 
ent industries in the use of basswood, except as noted in the text. 
A detailed list of the reported uses of basswood by the industries is 
given in the Appendix.
