To Discontinue Annual Report

Analysis of the Annual Report of production, shipments and stocks, usually issued about May or June each year by the California Redwood Association, indicates that the number of usable reports received are not enough to be statistically significant and the Annual Report will, therefore, be discontinued, says the CRA. The Distribution Report (redwood shipments by states) will be issued as usual at the earliest oossible date.
