preclude the possibility of certain provisions high

which for practical reasons are impossible. In

and owner. and a disposition the part OF both
TO make the necessary sacrifices, together with
an understanding the part OF the former or
the really practical side of the problem, there
should be less and less for the abandon

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
area treated is ownd by Or. William Stanford
Stevens OF Adams. Vermont. and is located at
Enosburg, in the same state. An outline OF the
work and its provisions follow
The area involved embraces 900 acres, divided
follows:
Woodland $50 acres pasture land 344 acres
meadow, 90 acres
The conditions that led the owner TO consider
the possibilities of forestry these: The area
had been maintained under less diver
shed system OF farm management, and as the own
er did not live on or near the property he wished
to be relieved OF the care and attention that such
an arrangement involved.
To accomplish this purpose Il seemed best TO
bring the three classes OF land under definite
and permanent system OF management through
the provisions and maintenance OF forest work
ing PLAZA.
The provisions follow:
1. 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 thinned I'm the fall and
winter OF each year
3. All pasture land is divided into ten equal
areas. one to be planted in the spring OF each year

OUTLINE FOR CUTTING.
OUTLINE FOR PLANT


(The acreage OF woodland to be treated is cut
down from the total $50 by the fact that about $50
acres was being cut over 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 woodlandJ
1t is estimated that the total receipts from the
cutting including the tract being 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 good system OF forest management
and greatly improved over it's present condition
together with 344 acres 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 1915 max
Ing each section thinned 25 years old will give a
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 tnis cutting should be at least
10000 board feet per 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:
/. All trees 10 come out are blazed and stamped
.. The contractor must take all marked and leave
all unmarked trees
3. Care in Telling must be taken in order that
young growth and reproduction will not be injured
g. All sound logs inches at the small end and

g. Sound down timber and tops OF feled trees are
