CHESTNUT. 
Chestnut (Castanea dentata) lumber production was partially 
influenced by the efforts to utilize the timber killed by the chestnut 
blight. The reported cut of 419,581,000 feet is but 5 per cent more 
than the quantity reported by the mills in 1915. 
Massachusetts operators made the best showing, relatively, in 
increased output among the individual States. Connecticut and 
New York also increased their cut over the preceding year. 
The computed total production of chestnut for 1916 was 
535,000,000 feet. 
The average mill value was $17.05; in 1915 it was S16.17.

REDWOOD. 
Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) and bigtree (Sequoia washing- 
toniana), which are without distinction marketed as redwood, are 
cut exclusively in California, though the range of the former extends 
into southwest Oregon.
