INTRODUCTION. 
Detailed statistics on the 1915 production of lumber, lath, and 
shingles are given in this bulletin. Preliminary statements issued 
in the spring of 1916 summarized the data for the early informa- 
tion of the lumber trade. There is now presented a permanent and 
complete record of the 1915 lumber cut, with comparisons of the 
production in that year with previous years.
