Yearly fluctuations in the amount bought have been so great as to make any typical estimate impracticable. Cordwood does not come within the scope of this study and therefore is not included. The very character of the woodlands sug- gests that there would be sufficient cordwood to meet any demand situa- tion likely to Fig. III.—Map of the area studied showing location of wood-using indus- tries and transportation systems. The location of the wood-using industries and transportation routes in the area are shown in Figure III. Two general types of plants are rec- ognized: first, stationary sawmills, and second, portable sawmills. In this second category a distinction has been made between sawmills, saw- mills with wood-working equipment, wood-working establishments, and furniture factories. Prices Paid for Forest Products The securing of comprehensive and reliable price data presented many difficulties. Complications were introduced by the range of qualities, both from the standpoint of a particular species and from the nature of the use of the wood. There are many different methods of sale of forest products in the area, but few attempts have been made to sell by grade. Forest products are sold at different stages of processing and unless care is taken in recognizing these stages, the data will not be Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station.
