~. (The acreage of woodland to be treated is cnt
down from the total $50 by the fact that about $50
acres was being cut over under a 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)
