(The acreage of woodland to be treated Is cut
down from the total 36O by the fact that about SO
acres being cut over under a contract made
previous to the adoption OF this plan. 1t accounts
for only % and 20 coming under management
for the years given above, which is. OF course, not
one.tenth of the total OF woodland)
It 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 tenyear period the owner will have his wood
land under a good system OF forest management
and greatly improved over its present condition.
together with 344 planted to Norway spruce
and white pine, the cost OF which being met as be-
fore stated by the returns from the area itself
The returns from Trimmings which will be made on
each section in the period from 1885 to l945. max
ing each section thinned rs years old. will give
considerable return. At this time about 400 trees
per acre will be removed. From 1850 to 1860 the
area will be clear cut by sections and replanted
The total yield from this cutting should be at least
10000 board feet per acre The plan also pro-
vdes for proper fire protection which is absolutely
necessary for the successful maturing or 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:
l. 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 tina,
young growth and reproduction will not be injured
A. All sound logs inches at the small end and
over are to go into lumber
s. Sound down timber and tops of ieled trees are
to be cut into cord wood
g. Care must be taken In skdding logs not to in
lure standing trees and reproduction.
Z. The contractor will be liable to a penalty OF
twice the value of any tree that is cut not bearing
the official stamp
s. All work is subject inspection.
The state forester also agrees to mark the trees
to cut each year.
While the owner himself will not enjoy this 10
turn, tie plan offers an example OF the instance
cited previously by which 40 individual is wilt"s &c
