Abstract

Another record high was established in pulpwood production by southern states during 1955. The total harvest amounted to 18,014,600 cords, an increase of 1,745,000 cords, or 10.7 percent, over production in 1954. The sharp upward trend of production in the South is especially apparent when compared with earlier years. The 1955 cut was about double the amount cut in 1947 and three times as great as the total production in 1940. Current activity in construction of new mills, together with installation of additional capacity in operating mills, can be expected to create new production records for many years to came.
