mill report for December 1955, and the difference between the two sets of figures does not represent the production, shiprnents and stocks of the additional eleven companies. The primary difference in the two sets of figures lies in the handling of inter-mill business. The monthly reports are for a set group of mills rvhose identity is known in advance. Definite instructions are given for handling intermill transactions so that the volume of lumber moving between the 2A reporting companies is excluded; but the volume of lumber purchased from producers not included in the group is included in both shipment and production figures.

It is noted in the December 1955 report that the figures include 34 million feet of redwood not produced by the 20 reporting companies. Since 'rve cannot know in advance lvhat companies will furnish the annual figures, this method cannot be used. The shipment figures shown are gross sl-ripments less purchbses from other mills. If reports were received from all redr.vood producers, this method would properly show the amount of redwood shipped by the industry to distributors and consumers. Since all mills do not report, the purchased lumber undoubtedlv includes lumber from mills outside the group and shipments to distributors and consumers by reporting mills was correspondingly greater than the figure shown. The method does, holever, properly indicate the volume of shipments that was made lrom the production of these reporting mills. The chief other difference between the two reports is due to the fact that some companies report a gross production figure and a computed figure for factory lvaste on monthly reports but report a net production figure and no factory waste on annual reports. If the gross figure had been used it would have increased the redrvood production figure by approximately ten million feet.

The value of the 1955-1954 comparisons in both the monthly and annual reports is affected by the merging of companies. Although these tables give figures for identical companies, the 1955 figures include the production of purchased sawmills which are not represented in the 1954 figures. On the attached table, 1954 figures for one purchased mill are inclrrded. There was probably about Iifteen million feet of 1954 redr,r'ood production of other purchased mills for which data are not available. The attached table shows a percentage increase in production considerably greater than that shou'n by monthly reports, but the peicentage increases in shipments and stocks are approximately the same for the two reports.

No data is available on r.vhich to base an estirnate of total redwood production. It is reported that the Bureau of Census'estimate of 1954 production, based on their Census of Manufactures, r,r'ill not be available for another two months. Fairly reliable information on the production of additional redwood producers who did not report, give their producticin at approximately 100 million feet. This added to the 743 rr'illion feet would still be considerably below the 95O million foot estimate which has been userl for 1955.

Buil Golleher Hosfs 363rd TTT Ar Virginio; Provides Seq Breeze

The 363rd Terrible Twenty tournament was held at Virginia Country Club, with Burt Galleher handling the details, including a delightful sea breeze. We had a big turnout and it was a gala affair. The low gross monthly prize was won by Joe Davis, 95-25-70. Second place was a tie between Helmer Hoel 83-12-71, and Rex Wall 79B-71. The special tournament of the day was Best-ball-offoursome, tied by the foursome of Essley, Hoel, Wall and Davis, and Groschan, Falconer, McFadden and Bohnhoff with a net of 58.

In the match play, lst flight, Rodecker beat Gartz on the 19th, with the other winners by default. In the second flight, Pierce beat Huck 4 and2, Alling treat Sorey 2 and l, and Groschan beat Bohnhofi 1 up.

Guests included Bill Back, the lumberman, and R. P. Dillworth, a general building contractor.

Plans are in the making by Most Terrible Vern Huck for our trek to Pebble Beach in October. The arrangements are not completed, but it looks like a big party.

The directors, at a meeting previous to the tournament, voted to change the by-laws to permit new members to be eligible for membership'after attending one tournament rather than three. But members will have to be previously approved, and announced in the Bulletin as candidates. For the next tournament, at Bel Air, arrangements were made by Bob Falconer.-H. M. Alling.
