SYCAMORE. 
Sycamore production, totaling 26,283,000 feet, was 8 per cent 
smaller than the cut reported for the preceding year. In Arkansas, 
Indiana, and Tennessee, the three States leading in production, the 
output was smaller; in most of the other States mills reported a 
‘slightly increased cut. 
The average mill value for sycamore in 1918 was $23.59 per 1,000 
feet, compared with $18.68 in 1917, an advance of 26 per cent.

The increase in the average mill value for lodgepole pine was 
$2.61 per 1,000 feet, or 14 per cent, the average having been $18.34
