1 Bald cypress ( Taxodium distichum) is the one species cut as such. 
REDWOOD. 
Redwood production was reduced 44,000,000 feet from the re- 
ported total of 487,458,000 feet in 1917, a decrease of 9 per cent. 
Forty mills reported cutting redwood in 1918 and but 36 mills the 
year before. The statistics given are believed to cover practically 
all of the redwood cut. 
The average mill value of redwood was $21 in 1917 and $24.30 in 
1918, an advance of $3.30 per 1,000 feet, or 16 per cent.

1 Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) is the species chiefly cut. Bigtree (Sequoia washingtoniana) furnishes 
a minor part of the redwood production. 
CHESTNUT. 
The reported total cut of chestnut, amounting to 344,929,000 feet, 
was a decrease of 10 per cent from the 1917 cut. The decline in 
West Virginia was 22,000,000 feet, or 21 per cent. That State pro- 
duces approximately one-fourth of all the chestnut sawed into 
lumber. Pennsylvania, with an increased output of 3,000,000 feet, 
or 7 per cent, was the one State to show an advance in 1918 over the 
year before. 
The average value of $27.31 per 1,000 feet reported for chestnut 
is $5.77, or 27 per cent, over the 1917 value.
