SHINGLES IN UNITED STATES INTERESTING STATISTICS COM- PILED IJV TIM GOVERNMENT SHOWING GROWTH OF THIS GREAT INDUSTRV. IX RECENT YEARS. WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 30. A preliminary Btutomont of the out put of lumber, lath, and shingles in the United States during the calendar years 1910, 1909, 1908, and 1907, was Issued recently by Census Direc tor E. Dana Diirnnd. It was prepared under the direction of William M. Slouurt, chief statistician for manu- raciurors, oy Jasper 13. whclchol, ex while In 1910 about 45 per cent was reported from thnt region. Softwoods ii ml Hardwoods raid Pro duction of Lending Species The Boftwoods supplied 31100, SGG M feet board measure, or 77.9 per cent of the total production in 19.10, whllo the hardwoods contrlbu ted 8.857.42CM feet or 22.1 per cent. The composition of the total has not varied materially during the past four years, though marked differences In annual production have occurred dur- Incr til In nnrlnil: tlin Rnffwnrwla rnnatl. tutcd about 77 per cont In both 1907 and 1908 and 7G per cent in 1909. The slightly larger proportion of these woods reported In 1910 is a logical result of the movement In the industry irom regions containing the THE FARMERS' WO M UNCLE SAM'S RECORDS OP THE IMPORTS AXD EXTORTS OF AGRICULTURAL MATERIALS IX port special agent. The data were bulk of the hardwood timber of tho collected In cooperation with the country to thoso whero contfers or Forest Sorvlco of tho Department of softwoods predominate. Tho flvo agriculture, anu lorm ono Berles of icau.ng species cut in l'Jiu wore ycl nnnual roports regarding the lumber low pine, Douglas fir, oak, white plno nnd timhnr mntiiifndiiroa The reported production of lumber In the United States during 1910 was 40,018,282 M feet board measure, as against 44,509,701 M feet in 1909, 33,224,309 M feet in 1908 and 40, 25C.154 M feet in 1907. Tlieso llgurcs of production arc not entirely com.'inrnblo by reason of dif ferences in tho completeness of the canvass of tho mills In different years. Tho number of mills covered by tho rcportB In each year has been as follows: 1910,31,934; 1909,48 112; 1908, 31,321; 1907, 28.SC0. Tho great cxcobs In tho numbor of mills canvassed In 1909, as compared with the other years, was duo to tho , fact that this was tho regular ciuln nttonulal census year and tho cntlro country was canvassed by special ng onts, whereas tho other canvasses have been conducted by mall. Tho effect of canvassing n much lnrgor number of mills, howovcr, is by no incnnH to add u corresponding amount to tho production. Tho groat ma jority of tho lareg mills Is Included for onch yoar, nnd tho ndditlonnl mills roportod for 1909 woro lnrgoly Hinull ones, tho nggregato production of which la only n comparatively . Binnll fraction of the total. It Is pro bable that hud tho canvas of 1909 boon more complete thnn tho canvass of 1910 tho production of 1909 would fltlll havo been ns great as In 1910. Whllo, thoroforo, tho conclusion can not bo drnwn from tho nbovo figures of production that tho actual output In 1910 wnB lcs than In 1909, never theless It Is (julto likely that such is . tho enso. Tho numbor of mills Included In tho HtntlBtlcs for 1910 Ih also not strictly comparahlo with tho number of 1908 and 1907, although tho can vass of all thrco of thoso yenrs wnB made by corroflpondonco. Tho fig ures for 1910 do not Includo tho cut of nny mills sawing less thnn 50 M foot during tho yonr, whllo the fig ures for Hiiclt inlllB, bo far as thoy woro reported, woro tabulated In tho onrller yonrs. Tho exclusion of thoso vo y small nfllls, howovor, hns comparatively llttlo offect upon tho roportod output.
