WESTERN YELLOW PINE. 
Western yellow pine {Pinus ponder osa) is cut for lumber in every 
western State from South Dakota to the Pacific coast. Bull pine is 
a common woods name for the tree. The lumber is generally sold 
under the trade names of California white pine, New Mexico white 
pine, western soft pine, and western white pine. The better grades 
are soft and light, and compete with white pine.

CYPRESS. 
Bald cypress (Taxodlum distichum) is the commercial cypress. 
The principal stand of cypress is in Louisiana, and that State is the 
principal producer of cypress lumber. Other southern States are 
next in importance, and some is cut in the Atlantic and Central 
States. New tracts of cypress have been opened in Florida during 
the past two years, and the reported lumber cut in that State was 
60 per cent more in 1915 than in 1912.
