Table 9 gives in detail for a representative part of the French Gulch 
timber sale on the Deerlodge National Forest, Mont., the cost of 
production of various-sized stulls, converter poles, lagging poles, and 
cordwood. Table 10 shows the market price received for the various 
products, together with the net profit per piece or per cord. The 
figures per thousand board feet run high for the smaller pieces because 
of their extremely low board-foot contents.

1 Since the mill overrun is 20 per cent, 1,200 board feet mill run scale will equal 1,000 feet log scale. The 
mill run selling price of S15.80 per 1,000 board feet must, therefore, be increased by 20 per cent to make it 
comparable with the other figures, which are based on log scale.
