PRODUCTION OF LATH. 
Lath production in the country as a whole responded to the lighter 
demand in 1917, incident to restricted building. The product has 
but one principal use, and anything that interferes with the utiliza- 
tion in the direct consuming channel results in a lessened output. 
Reports were received from 1,456 mills, which scheduled a total of 
2,281,738,000 pieces, a decrease of 17 per cent from the year before. 
The output decreased in all of the States except Arkansas, Florida, 
and Texas. Table 3S shows the number of active mills reporting 
and the production of each for the last three years.
