Forestry declined from the I923 level, but the index was, nevertheless, above the I9I9 figure and the second highest in the post-war period. Mining and manufacture, to be sure, showed marked curtailment in output from the I923 record but the combined index, not adjusted for growth, was at least a fifth greater than for I9I9 and second only to
