PRODUCTION OF LUMBER, LATH, AND SHINGLES IN 1918, 31 
CEDAR. 
Cedar production in the ‘country was 230,476,000 feet in 1918, 
or 11 per cent smaller than in 1917. The cut in Washington was 
smaller than the year before by 33,000,000 feet, or 25 per cent; Wash- 
ington produced 52.6 per cent of all the cedar lumber in the United 
States in 1917 and 44 per cent in 1918. The cut increased in several 
States—9 per cent in Oregon, 75 per cent in Idaho, 42 per cent in 
in Michigan, and slightly in California. 
The difference in the species cut in the several regions is responsible 
for the wide variation in the average value shown for the individual 
States. In 1917 the average for all States was $19.40; this increased 
$5.46 per 1,000 feet to $24.86 in 1918, or 28 per cent.
