derstand these conditions thoroughly, and the de-
mands OF a region. may mean the nnanclal 1a1i-
ure of plan. Oftentimes these local conditions
preclude the possibility OF certain provisions high
ly desirable from a technical standpoint, but
which for practical reasons are Impossible In
other words, the practical must be given full con-
stderaton along with the technical.
With complete cooperation between forester
and owner, and disposition on the part OF both
to make the necessary sacrifices, together with
an understanding the part OF the former OF
the really practical side Of the problem, there
should be less and less cause for the abandon
ment of the provisions OF working plans made
for definite periods.
The first working plan In Vermont under the
state forest service, made by the writer while
engaged assistant to the state forester. The
treated is ownd by Dr. William Stanford
Stevens Of Albans Vermont and is located at
Encsburg In the same state. An outline OF the
work and its provisions follow.
The area involved embraces 900 acres divided
as follows:
Woodland $50 acres; pasture land, 344 acres
meadow, 1856 acres.
The conditions that led the owner to consider
the possibilities of forestry these: The area
had been maintained under a more or less diver
sifed system of h0rm management, and as the own
er did not live near the property he wished
to be relieved of the and attention that such
arrangement involved.
To accomplish this purpose 1t seemed best to
bring the three classes of land under q definite
and permanent system OF management through
the provisions and maintenance OF forest work
ing plan.
The provisions follow:
l. To complete the treatment OF the whole tract
at the end of ten years.
2. All woodland to be treated is divided into
ten equal areas, to be thtnned in the fall and
winter of each year.
8. All pasture land Is divided into ten equal
areas one to be planted In the spring OF each year.
4. All meadow land will be maintained as such.
s. For each wooded area, the kind OF thinning
to employ is stated; also q rough estimate, to-
gether with net value, of the amount to come out.
g. For each to be planted, the species are
selected and the number necessary given. together
with the total cost Of the work
The woodland is mixed, hardwoods consisting OF
sugar maple yellow birch, beech, and small
percentage of ASH Eastwood. poplar. ironwood,
cherry and elm with young hemlock and spruce
reproduction well established a few sections
Sugar maple reproduction is especially good and
with ash and Eastwood is particularly desirable.
In treating this area either reproduction or i'm
provement Trimmings prescribed, removing
all undesirable and over-mature species and such
mature species seemed best for the require
mcnts OF the area. Thus only desirable species
were left to reproduce well as to become more
valuable through increased growth.
In carrying out the field work for this plan, the
area was first surveyed both by boundaries and
types Of land. 1t was necessary to ascertain the

owners, the income from their hold
ings is. not as important as the pur-
pose to which well-forested and
properly managed area will be put,
whether 1t be for its utility or aesthet-
lie value. The large majority includes
lumbermen, and owners OF smaller
areas, who have made their invest
ment upon a strictly business basis,
and who expect a suitable return
from the same. IL the forester can
show the possibility Of such return,
and at the same time provide for the
preservation and improvement OF the
stand, he then advances the practical
side Of the practice OF his art.

(The acreage of woodland to be treated Is cut
down from the total $50 by the fact that about $50
acres was being cut under contract made
previous to the adoption OF this plan 1t accounts
for only % and 20 acres coming under management
for the years given above which Is, of course not
one-tenth of the total area of woodland.)
1t is estimated that the total receipts from the
cutting. including the tract being cut under contract
above mentioned will pay the complete cost OF
planting and seedlings.
The plan just outlined means that at the end OF
the ten-year period the owner will have his wood
land under a good system of forest management,
and greatly improved its present condition,
together with 344 planted to Norway spruce
and white pine, the cost of which being met be-
fore stated by the returns from the itself.
The returns from Trimmings which will be made on
each section in the period from 1885 to 1915, max
ing each section thnned rs years old, Will give a
considerable return. At this time about 400 trees
per acre will be removed. From 1850 to 1860 the
will be clear cut by sections and repIanted
The total yield FROM this cutting should be at least
10000 board feet per acre The plan also pro-
vides for proper fire protection, which is absolutely
necessary for the successful maturing OF a planta
ton. 1t also states the conditions which any con-
tractor must meet who makes the cuttings during
the next ten years. These conditions follow:
1. All trees to come out are blazed and stamped
with the letter "V"
2. The contractor must take all marked and leave
all unmarked trees.
g. Care in telling must be taken in order that
young growth and reproduction will not be injured.
4. All sound logs inches at the small end and
to go into lumber.
s. Sound down timber and tops OF felled trees are
to be cut into cord wood.
6. Care must be taken In skiddng logs not in
jure standing trees and reproduction
7. The contractor will be liable to penalty OF
twice the value of tree that is cut not bearing
the official stamp.
s. All work Is subject to inspection.
The state forester also agrees to mark the trees
to cut each year.
While the owner himself will not enjoy this re-
turn, the plan offers an example OF the instance
cited previously by which Individual Is willing
make longtime investment In order to make it
possible for the next generation In his family to
enjoy the results.
