Georgia has 13 percent less sawtimber now than it had 18 years ago, according to the results of a resurvey of Georgia's forest resources published Pine sawtimber volume decreased 15 percent (fig. 27). In the north central part of the state, there is now only half as much pine sawtimber as in 1936. In the central part the drop was 38 percent, and in the northern part, 45 percent. These losses were partially offset by the 21-percent increase in the southeast section. For the state as a whole, the volume in pine trees to inches increased nearly enough to offset the loss of pine sawtimber, as the loss of volume in pine growing stock inches and larger was only 2 percent (fig. 28). Growing stock losses were especially severe in the Piedmont and moun- tain areas, but gains were recorded in the Coastal Plain. FOREST ECONOMICS Georgia Forest Survey Completed in A drop in sawtimber volume is not surprising in view of the sharp rise in demand for saw logs and pulpwood in Georgia. During the period since the 19 36 forest survey, Georgia more than doubled its annual production of timber. Pulpwood production jumped from 200,000 cords in 1937 to million in 1953. Only the tremendous upsurge in the number of young trees, includ- ing pine, prevented more serious losses in timber volume. The number of pine trees increased 41 percent, even though reductions occurred in the number of t
