A final revised report is scheduled for publication and release to the public in 1957.

The trr combines information derived from special field studies with that obtained from assembling and updating the best data already available. Area and volume statistics were adjusted to January 1, 1953; timber cut and utilization figures are for the calendar year 1952. The task was made possible through excellent cooperation between federal and state agencies and private industries.

This report is for managers of forest land, forest industry personnel, and all others interested in the forests of the Central States. The statistics presented here are taken from the tre data except for those that pertain to Iowa. Iowa figures are based on a more intensive survey completed after data were assembled for the trr. Regular forest surveys of the other five Central States were completed before national statistics were assembled. In some cases, tables included in this report are presented in more detail than will be possible in the thb publication.

The area and volume figures shown by ownerships may differ slightly from figures published by the agencies concerned. This is because of differences in definitions, specifications, log rules, and cruising standards. Unless indicated otherwise, the board-foot volumes are expressed in net volume log scale International inch rule; cubic foot volumes show net log volume excluding bark.
