YELLOW POPLAR. 
Yellow poplar production, which declined 17 per cent in 1917 from 
1916, fell off 26 per cent in 1918 from 1917. The cut of 241,963,000 
feet reported in 1918 is but little more than one-fourth of the quan- 
tity reported cut in 1909. The cut in 1918 slumped 34 per cent from 
the 1917 figure in West Virginia, 15 per cent in Tennessee, 24 per 
cent in Kentucky, 8 per cent in Virginia, and 24 per cent in Georgia. 
The average mill value for yellow poplar in 1918 was $35.06 per 
1,000 feet; in 1917 it was $27.17; so that there was an advance of 
29 per cent for the year.
