COTTONWOOD. 
In line with the reduction generally in the cut of other woods, the 
reported production in 1918 of 148,327,000 feet of cottonwood repre- 
sents a falling off of 17 per cent in the output compared with the year 
before. The decrease amounted to 28 per cent in Mississippi, 39 per 
cent in Arkansas, and 37 per cent in Louisiana. 
The average value of cottonwood went up $2.84 per 1,000 feet— 
from $23.19 in 1917 to $26.13 in 1918—an advance of 13 per cent.
