This report, so far as it relates to lumber production in 1920, is the latest of a series that had previously covered the period 1904 to 1918, inclusive, with the exception of 1914.^ It is of wider scope than the rest of the series, for it contains not merely detailed statis- tics of the 1920 production of lumber, lath, and shingles in the conti- nental United States, but comparable figures from previous reports of the Forest Service and the Bureau of the Census back to 1870. In its interpretation of the significance of the decline in lumber pro- duction it goes far beyond its predecessors because of the growing need for emphasizing the effect of forest exhaustion upon the high prices and the diminishing production of lumber. In the decennial year 1920 the effort has been made to provide, in Tables 4 and 6, the most complete possible statement of compara- ble quantitative data for lumber production, by States and species. Table 4 is summarized to show production of the several lumbering regions for 50 years. In the years previous to 1870 lumber production was enumerated only by valuation, and Table 4a exhibits these 1 A detailed summary of the 1914 lumber production is given In Department of Agriculture BuUetin 506, which contains the figures for 1915. 5045°—23—Bull. 1119 1.
