Phipps. The total is an increase of almost 150.000,000 over the previous year, indicating the upward trend in the forest in dustries. Phipps added. However, he pointed out that it is over two billion board feet below the banner year of 1952 when loggers took out 9,802,471,000 board feet of timber. That was the all time record for the state, the forester added. Douglas, county was in the lead in 1958 with a cut of 1,360,722,000 board feet of timber, with Lane county in second place with 1,107,441, 000 board feet Coos was the only, other county which re ported a cut of over the half billion board foot mark. For eastern Oregon Grant county led with a cut of 240,315 board feet. Jackson Total In Jackson county, 450,285 million board feet were cut, Phipps said. In the breakdown of pro duction by land ownership, the report indicates that the national forests of the state provided 2,144,400,000 board feet of timber while the In dian reservations produced 99,125,000 board feet. : By far the greater cut came from the private lands of the state. The exact amount can not be determined since the bureau of land management cut is included, but it will closely approximate 5 billion board feet.
