LUMBER PRODUCTION BY KINDS OF WOOD. 
Ready comparison of the cut of the different woods for 12 years, 
the same period for which the cut is given by States in the preceding 
table, is made possible in Table 6 (p. 12). The computation indicates 
an enlarged output each year, with but a few exceptions, for such 
species as southern yellow pine, Douglas fir, western yellow pine, 
cypress, maple, red and sap gum, birch, cedar, tupelo, sugar pine, 
and walnut. On the other hand, the cut has remained practically 
stationary or declined for such other woods as oak, white pine, 
hemlock, spruce, yellow poplar, chestnut, beech, basswood, elm ? 
ash, cottonwood, and hickory. Natural laws of supply and demand 
have but partially governed the cut of different species, since exploita- 
tion of some woods has resulted in an increased demand and produc- 
tion, while other woods have suffered through heightened values 
due to diminished supply and the substitution of less costly species. 
Figures 2 and 3 supplement Tables 5 and 6 by showing graphically 
the computed figures on 1916 lumber production by States and by 
species, respectively.
