Department of AgricultureBulletin 845, Production of Lumber, Lath, and Shingles in 1918. -The explanation of Tables 1, 2 and 3, and the information contained in Table5 were taken principally from a mimeoRraphed circular, Packing Box Woods:Kinds, Supply, Distribution, Grades and Sizes Available, prepared by J. C. Nellis,formerly Forest Examiner in the Forest Service, U. S. Dept. Agriculture. WOODEN BOX AND CRATE CONSTRUCTION. USE OP WOOD IN BOX AND CRATE CONSTRUCTON 5 series of studies of the wood-using industries by States, madeby the Forest Service from 1909 to 1913. The information,however, is not complete owing to the fact that a numberof mills did not report their consumption. It is estimatedthat today the amount of lumber used annually in the manu-facture of shipping containers is between five and six billionfeet, or nearly one-sixth of the total lumber cut in the UnitedStates. While the figures in the table apply to different years,all are based on a period of 12 months. They may be saidto apply to 1912 as an average year. The figures on the total production of (liffcrent speciesare for 1918, the latest available at this time. In compiling statistics it has been found best to combinesome of the different species or kinds of woods because ofthe confusion on • the part of manufacturers as to of the names listed in Table 1 cover a number ofspecies.
