lot comes i'm the fall and in the winter,

Ssts also in the thinning and cultiva-
ton of the crop.
Require Different Methods.
In general, there are two types of
woodIots says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, and each Of
them requires different method of
handling. The first type is character
lied by the presence of old trees
which dominate the stand. The sec
ond type is made up of nearly even
aged stand Of second growth.
In the first type the old trees may
almost exclude the younger growth,
or they may exist as few scattered
individuals throughout the stand.
Such material is very likely to be
losing value. The way to check the
loss is to cut the old trees which have
attained a mature growth and make
room for new stand of seedlings. A
mature tree should be cut for the
same reason that one cuts crop of
n L. VlAHAnuklxy rtp
No dead or diseased timber should be
allowed to stand.
A woodlot composed entirely Of ma
ture trees should not be cleared at one
cutting The work should be carried
on in stages with sufficient interval
between the cuttings to allow a new
crop to come up. If this method is fol-
lowed carefully, the farmer will al
ways have a crop of wood ready for
harvest on his woOdlOt. When the ma
ture timber is removed In two or
three cuttings. the first cutting should
be so managed as TO open up the
crown cover somewhat, so that the
leaves on the forest floor may decom-
pose more rapidly and the termination
Of the seed be made more certain.
The remaining trees become more wind
firm. and. rs result Of their crowns
receiving more sunlight, they produce
more seed. When the forest floor is
in good condition the second cutting in
mature wOOdlOt can be made during
the winter following heavy seed
year. Neither the first nor the second
cutting should be so severe as to al
low an abundance OF sunshine to reach
the forest floor. since sunshine stimu-
lates the growth OF weeds and other
trash.
