Table 3 shows the reported cut in each State arranged by mill 
classes. The 764 Class 5 mills reporting accounted for 63 per cent 
of the total reported cut. Of the Class 5 mills 286 are located in the 
Pacific group of States. This is an increase of 44 mills, or 18 per cent 
since the enumeration by the census in 1919. 
The Lake States show a reduction of 11 Class 5 mills, or 12 per 
cent since 1919, although the number in Wisconsin increased. The 
principal reduction was in Michigan. Some mills formerly rated in 
Class 5, now appear in Class 4 tlirough reduction of their output. 
The indication in the South are that one-eighth or more of the 
Class 5 mills either cut out in 1920 or reduced their cut to the Class 
4 limits. The situation in the South was so unfavorable in 1920 that 
fully dependable deductions can not be made. The reports for 1921 
should reveal to what extent the productive capacity of the South 
has been reduced.
