Fig. 3.—Computed total lumber production in 1918, by kinds of wood. The question is frequently asked in connection with lumber produc- tion figures as to what part shortleaf pine forms of the total quantity of yellow pine reported, or the ratio of white oak cut to the total. It is not practicable in the lumber census work to do more than group the figures for all of the yellow pines together, and treat the oaks, gums, cedars, and other woods in the same way, since no standard classification is found among the lumbermen. Producers in one sec- tion frequently apply a local name to a given species and only confu- sion would follow an attempt to segregate the figures. 152823°—20—Bull. 845 3.
