1 Hemlock ( Tsuga canadensis) is cut in the Lake States, Northeastern States, and the Appalachian region. 
Western hemlock ( Tsuge heterophylla) is manufactured in Washington and Oregon. 
Black (or western mountain) hemlock ( Tsuga mertensiana) is cut in small quantities. Carolina hemlock 
( Tsuga earoliniana) is occasionally cut in the Appalachian region. 
WESTERN YELLOW PINE. 
The 1,707,784,000 feet of western yellow pine reported sawed in 1918 
was 157,000,000 feet, or 8 per cent, under the 1917 output. The cut 
in California was 25 per cent less than in 1917 and that State gave way 
to Oregon as the leading State in production. California furnished 
26 per cent of all the western yellow pine cut in 1917 and but 21 per 
cent in 1918. The cut in Idaho was practically the same as for the 
preceding year, and a slightly increased total was shown for both 
Washington and Montana. 
The average value of $20.87 per 1,000 feet for western yellow pine 
differs from the 1917 average of $19.59 by $1.28, or practically 7 per 
cent.
