MEMBER AUDIT BUREAU
OF CALCULATIONS
THURSDAY, MAY 20, 1913.
Free State Forestry
J. F. Paulhamus

How many places throughout the
county can cutover stands Of timber
be found where old, crooked, defec-
tive, poor quality trees are allowed
to remain. These trees are often
dismissed by saying 1T doesn't pay
to cut them" Does it?
When such trees are allowed to re
main, they often increase in size to
the extent that they take up and
shade an excessive amount of space
which reduces the amount avail
able for young good quality stock.
Over period of successive cuttings,
if the poor quality material is al
lowed to remain. the stand may reach
the point where it IS Improbable to
cut over it as there is not enough
good quality material to warrant al.
operation Such stands are not a re-
mote possibility Of the future but
can be found at the present time!
True enough, much of this material
will not pay for cutting from the
standpoint Of the products obtained
from the tree itself, but it may more
than pay from the viewpoint of
future timber growth. Generally
these old defective trees may have Il
rather slow growth rate, and one or
two young vigorous trees will pro-
duce far more wood which will be
profitable to cut
Where an owner is interested in
obtaining and maintaining a high
quality stand Of timber it will pay 10
remove these trees. If the products
obtained will not pay for the cutting,
the tree may be girdled with an axe
by cutting a ring completely around
the trunk. Care must be taken to
sever all the bark as many trees will
continue to live if only an inch or so
of bark remains uncut.
Some work has been done in con-
nection with poisoning of such trees.
This process may be especially suit
able to rough barked trees, but for
smooth barked ones it appears to be
about as easy to girdle them. Girdled
trees often die and go to pieces gradu-
ally which tends to reduce the
amount of damage to young stand
ing timber. If the question arises as
to whether or not this material is
wasted by girdling it and allowing It
to remain in the woods, consider the
weeds in a gardens it waste 10
cut down weeds !? Forests can have
"weeds" also
