PRODUCTION OF LUMBER, LATH, AND SHINGLES IN 101G. 5 
and an additional 624 mills cutting less than 50,000 feet of lumber 
each. North Carolina, Virginia, and Pennsylvania also have a large 
number of mills which fall into class 1. 
Since no vast bodies of unexploited timber remain to be opened 
up, the. relative, importance of the producing regions is likely to con- 
tinue, unchanged for several years.

1 The total for 1909 differs from that shown in other tables because 4,543 mills cutting 124,966,000 feet, or 
less than 50,000 feet each, are omitted above. 
2 The data here shown for both 1915 and 1916 are computed totals by classes of mills.
