The attempt of the government to
induce the adoption of conservative
methods of numbering in order to
preserve the national resources, and
the responsive interest taken by
timber owners, have brought up many
interesting legal questions, and the
Division of Forestry has found it
necessary to make extensive researches
in this direction. AS the result, a
circular dealing with the laws which
AFFECT forests is in course of prepara-
tion and will be sent free to persons
interested. One of the most important
points brought out is the recognition
by law of the prospective value of
growing timber. The possibility of
protitahly carrying on numbering with
systematic provision for future cutting
depends upon this point. 1t has
usually been held that when, by tres
pass, or by INSCRIPTIONS cutting by
contractors, timber has been removed
contrary to the owners wish, he could
recover only its Stumpage value. AS
forestry usually requires that a certain
number OF trees of certain size be
left, it follows that an unScrupulous
contractor could easily upset the plans
OF years with little fearof punishment
The Supreme Court, however, has re.
Gently ruled that the difference in
value between logged and unlogged
land depends not only on the value OF
The timber removed, but on It's
probable increase had it been left
untouched.
