$8.47, or 29 per cent, more than the corresponding figure for 1917.

laciniosa), pignut (Hicoria glabra), bitternut (Hicoria minima), and mockernut ( Hicoria alba). 
WALNUT. 
Stimulated by Government agencies, the production of walnut 
reached a total of 87,305,000 feet in 1918, an increase of 63 per cent 
over the 1917 cut. The Missouri mills more than doubled their cut, 
and the output was larger by 52 per cent in Indiana, 51 per cent in 
Ohio, and 57 per cent in Tennessee. Four mills in Kansas cut 
7,507,000 feet, or nearly 9 per cent of the aggregate production of the 
country. Mills in 34 States reported the manufacture of walnut. 
The average mill value of walnut increased $4.61 per 1,000 feet, 
or 6 per cent, for the year. The value was $72.99 in 1917 and $77.60 
in 1918.
