swithheld because the estimate did not meet publication standards, either on the basis of the associated standard error of estimate or on the basis of a consistency review. 1The percentage standard errors shown in these columns indicate the differences that can be expected between the estimates and comparable complete canvass totals, because of sampling fluctuations. The estimates will differ from the complete totals by less than:

(i) The percentage shown: approximately 2 times out of 3.

(ii) Twice the percentage shown: approximately 19 times out of 20.
(iii)Three times the percentage shown; almost always.

Measures of error of the 1953 estimates are not available, but will generally be somewhat larger than the corresponding 1952 standard errors. The standard error of relative shown in the last column pertains to the 1953 relative. Such duplication arises where the products of some estab

'Figures contain some duplication because of the inclusion of resales and products shipped for further processing in other plants within the industry. In 1947, such duplication amounted to about 15 percent for both the value of fresh meats and prepared meats. Such resales comprise a smaller proportion of the figures shown for subsequent years.

13 The 1947 value of shipments figures for rough lumber and for dressed lumber published in the 1947 Census of Manufactures reports, $920 million and $1.2 billion, respectively, are not strictly comparable with estimates for later years because (a) $213 million value of shipments for sawmills producing between 200 M and 1,000 M board feet of lumber was assumed to have been rough lumber but subsequent analysis of the reported data indicates that a considerable portion of this lumber was shipped in dressed form, and (b) value of shipments data were not collected from sawmills producing less than 200 M board feet. The small mills (less than 200 M board feet) account for approximately 5 percent of the total production of lumber.
