velopment. This can be sdone gradually,
as the material can be utilized.
When once the improvement cutting
has brought the woodlot into business
like shape, further operations should be
made with view to reproduction and a
lasting supply. Care should be taken in
telling, working up, and hauling out
wood to do as little damage as possible
10 young growth. If reproduction Is to
take place from seed, the proper location
of seed trees must be considered.
Where the forest is composed mainly OF
such trees as oak and chestnut, which
sprout well from the stump, it may be adj
visable to cut most OF the good-sized trees,
over part of the wood lot, for the pur-
pose of raising a crop Of sprouts. Such
sprouts grow rapidly and produce good
poles, posts, and ties at q comparatively
early age. But the stumps should be cut
low and slanting, so as to prevent rotting
and secure strong and numerous shoots.
There are a number of thinning systems,
some of which may suit the requirements
of one wood lot, but not those of another.
By a careful reading OF bulletin No. ~, of
the forest service, entitled ''The Wood
lott, the owner can fsmiliarize himself
with these and choose whichever one his
own woodiore and observation suggest as
the best. Or, should the owner desire
special plan for the management of his
wood lot, he should make application to
the forester, United States department of
agriculture, for the cooperation OF the
fo-aat aarvfce
