a recent reading course leaflet of the
New York State Agricultural college
may be helpful. They apply to I'M
proyement cuttings. not to harvesting
of ripe timber:
First.-Do not give a young tree so

There is no danger that new branches

trunk that have been we'll cleaned of

that it develops wide spreading top

Third.-Do not make an opening so
large that it will not be filed by the
surrounding crowns in Il few years:
otherwise the soil may run wild.
Fourth.-Since "n opening should not
be- very large is q good plan not to
cut two trees whose crowns adj0in I'M

so.
Fifth.-Do not thin SO severely that
on Il clear day You will see more than
one-thrd Of the ground with the bright
sunlight reaching it. This sunlight
should he in small patches here and
there. 1t is perhaps we'll TO repent that
these suggestions do not apply when
timber is being harvested
Improvement cuttings should he re-
peated as frequently rs there seem to
be many trees that need to be helncd
by thinning. 1t is usually not ncceS-
gary to do this oftcncr than once in
five years
A special form of thinning is often
advisable where sprouts come up. BY
thinning the sprouts the rate of growth
OF those remaining can he greatly in
creased. No rule can be given as to
how many sprouts should he left on
each stump. This will depend on how
close together the Old stumps are and
how vigorous the sprouts seem to be.
The aim should be to leave enough
trees so they will shade the ground
thoroughly within a few years and
not to make such large openings that
the trees will not be cleaned of their
lower branches.
