The timber is small in comparison with most American forests, much of it from 8 to 12 inches in diameter. These forests resemble the woodlots of southern New England, and the operations will be similar to portable sawmill logging and tie cutting in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Mary land, and Virginia. The closest pos sible use of timber will be required.
