Informally Refereed

Abstract

In 1954, pulpwood production in the South was 16,269,600 cords, an increase of 0.9 percent over 1953. It was the largest harvest on record. The cut of pine pulpwood was 14,108,000 cords, of hardwood 2,128,800 cords, and of dead chestnut 32,800 cords. While hardwood production was 11.0 percent more than in 1953, pine was 0.3 percent less, and dead chestnut 46.3 percent less. In 1954, southern wood accounted for 60 percent of domestic pulpwood receipts at all mills in the United State.
