Total lumber production of an estimated 3,084,000,000 board feet in September 1958 was 8/o greater than in September of last year, according to the National Lumber Manufacturers Association.

Most of the favorable September gains were registered for softwood lumber, which accounted for 2,541,000,000 board feet of the September production, versus 543,000,000 board feet of hardwood lumber output.
