Study of Prop Cutting
Shows Best Results
From Selective System

The results of a recent study OF
mine prop cutting in this county has
revealed some very illuminating re-
suits which should be of interest to
all timber operators and land owners,
according to William H. Johnson,
Cumberland, district forester.
The story entitled "How Should
Mine Props Be Cut in Appalachian
Region?" appeared in the service bull
letin of the Appalachian Hardwood
Manufacturers, Inc, and was based
on study made here by a represent
ative of the U. s. Forest service and
the Maryland department of Forests
and Parks during the summer of
1913, Mr. johnson said. A copy of the
detailed report is obtainable by APP
plying at Mr.. Johnson's office.
The object of the study was to
compare three different methods of
cutting mine props from cut-over,
second-growth Appalachian hardwood
timber stands. Three methods were
studied-1. Clear cutting (by choice
of cutter) all trees suitable for mine
props measuring over Az inches in
diameter Clear cutting (by choice of
cutteI) all trees suitable for mine
props measuring over 6l2 inches in
diameter 3. Selective cutting (by
choice of technical forester any tree
down to Az inches in diameter,
The third method was studied as a
basis for cutting the timber stands
in such a manner as to produce a
quantity of mine props and at the
same time to remove deformed, de-
fective and inferior quality trees of
all age and size classes, thereby i'm
proving the quality and growth po-
tentially of the reserved stands.
From the records it was discovered
that the second method was the least
desirable of the three. Methods
and 3 were further compared to sec
| which was most desirable over a long
period of time, go years.. The re-
port showed that greater labor anc
stumpage returns would accrue from
/ cutting mine props ON tree seIec
! ton basis rather than on an arbitrary
clear-cut diameter limit, and that
/ owners would be assured of a perm
anent supply of mine props and saw
timber if they used the selective cut
ting method throughout the years.
