THE ANNUAL CUT. 
The census returns for the past decade indicate an annual cut of 
from two hundred to three hundred million feet of ash lumber. In 
rank in lumber production ash stands twentieth or twenty-first 
among all species. In addition to the lumber cut, from twenty-five 
to thirty-five million board feet of ash is reported? to be used 
annually in slack cooperage for staves, heading, and hoops. The 
total annual cut of lumber and cooperage stock appears to be about 
the same for ash as for hickory or cottonwood.
