scientific sacrifices
as are necessary,
and not making the
plan as he, himself,
would prefer.
He then should
make a thorough
study of the mar-
kets of the region
and plan his cut-
tings accordingly.
Different localities
vary in their ability
to absorb a wide
range and class of
material. Cord wood
may have no value,
or it may be worth
25 cents or $1 a
cord on the stump,
and so on up
through the higher
class of forest prod-
ucts. Failure to un-
derstand these conditions thoroughly, and the de-
mands of a region, may mean the financial fail-
ure of a plan. Oftentimes these local conditions
preclude the possibility of certain provisions high-
ly desirable from a technical standpoint, but
which for practical reasons are Impossible. In
other words, the practical must be given lull con-
sideration along with the technical.
With complete co-operation between forester
and owner, and a disposition on the part of both
to make the necessary sacrifices, together with
an understanding on the part of the former of
the really practical side of the problem, there
should he less and less cause for the abandon-
ment of the provisions of working plans made
for definite periods.
The first working plan In Vermont under the
Btate forest service, was made by the writer while
engaged as assistant to the staJe forester. The
area treated is ownd by Dr. william Stanford
Stevens of Albans, Vermont, and Is located at
Enosburg, in the same state. An outline of the
work and Its provisions follow.
The area Involved embraces 900 acres, divided
as follows:
Woodland, SCO acres; pasture land, 344 acres;
meadow, 196 acres.
The conditions that led the owrner to consider
the possibilities of forestry were these: The area
had been maintained under a more or less diver-
sified system of farm management, and as the own-
er did not live on or near the property, he wished
to be relieved of the care and attention that such
an arrangement Involved.
To accomplish this purpose It seemed best to
bring the three classes of land under a definite
and permanent system 'of management through
the provisions and maintenance of u forest work-
ing plan.
The provisions follow:
1. To complete the treatment of the whole tract
at the end of ten years.
2. All woodland to be treated Is divided into
ten equal areas, one to be thinned in the fall and
winter «f each year
3. All pasture land Is divided Into ten equal
areas, one to be planted In the Bpring of each year.
4. All meadow land will be maintained as such.
5. For each wooded area, the kind of thinning
to employ Is stated; also a rough estimate, to-
gether with net value, of the amount to come out.
6. For each area to be planted, the species are
selected and the number necessary given, together
with the total cost of the work.
The woodland Is mixed, hardwoods consisting of
sugar maple, yellow birch, beech, and a small
percentage of ash. basswood, poplar, lronwood,
cherry and elm, with young hemlock and Bpruce
reproduction well established on a few sections.
Sugar maple reproduction Is especially good, and
with ash and basswood Is particularly desirable.
In treating this area either reproduction or Im-
provement thinnings were prescribed, removing
all undesirable and over-mature species and such
mature species as seemed best for the require-
ments of the area. Thus only desirable species
were left to reproduce as well as to become more
valuable through Increased growth.
In carrying out the field work for this plan, the
area was first surveyed both by boundaries and
types of land. It was necessary to ascertain the
looking for, and not an opportunity to Invest
■their time and money for the advancement of for-
estry for Its own sake. It Is here that the forester
has an opportunity to show that his work and Its
results are eminently practical, that a desirable
return Is possible; both Immediate from the sale
of the product, and remote from the Increased and
accumulating growth, as well as the Improvement
of the quality of the timber, together with the
growing and the reproductive capacity of the soli.
In a planting proposition, the return Is neces-
sarily remote. If, howrever, It can be shown that
an area, now producing 1 per cent., for example.
Is capable of returning 3 per cent, per annum,
compound Interest, at the final harvest In 40
years, after deducting with Interest, the Initial
cost of stock and planting, together with taxes
and fire protection for the full period. Is It not
good business policy for many owners, whether
Individual or company, to make sucb an Invest-
ment? It will be argued that only owners that
are able to hold an area permanently will care to
wait 40 years for a return, and that very few In-
dividuals would consent to an investment In which
'the returns are deferred for so long a time. This
is true In almost all cases. There are, however,
conditions which make such an Investment de-
sirable. It is not at all uncommon for plantations

(The acreage of woodland to be treated is cut
down from the total 360 by the fact that about 160
acres was being cut over under a contract made
previous to the* adoption of this plan. It accounts
for only 22 and 20 acres coming under management
for the years given above, which is, of course, not
one-tenth of the total area of woodland.)
It Is estimated that the total receipts from the
cutting. Including the tract being cut under contract
above mentioned, will pay the complete cost of
planting and seedlings.
The plan just outlined means that at the end of
the ten-year period the owner will have bis wood-
land under a good system of forest management,
and greatly Improved over Its present condition,
together with 344 acres planted to Norway spruce
and white pine, the cost of which being met as be-
fore stated by the returns from the area Itself.
The returns from thinnings which will be made on
each section In the period from 1935 to 1945, mak-
ing each section thinned 25 years old, will give a
considerable return. At this time about 400 treeB
per acre will be removed. From 1950 to 1960 the
area will be clear cut by sections and replanted.
The total yield from this cutting should be at least
30,000 board feet per acre. The plan also pro-
vides for proper fire protection, which Is absolutely
necessary for the successful maturing of a planta-
tion. It also states the conditions which any con-
tractor must meet who makes the cuttings during
the next ten years. These conditions follow;
1. All trees to come out are blazed and stamped
with the letter "V.”
2. The contractor must take all marked and leave
all unmarked trees.
3. Care In felling must be taken In order that
young growth and reproduction will not be Injured.
4. All sound logs 6 Inches at the small end and
over are to go Into lumber.
5. Sound down timber and tops of felled trees are
to be cut Into cord wood.
6. Care must be taken In skidding logs not to In-
jure standing trees and reproduction.
7. The contractor will be liable to a penalty of
twice the value of any tree that Is cut not bearing
"the official stamp.
8. All work Is subject to Inspection.
The state forester also agrees to mark the trees
to cut each year.
While the owner himself will not enjoy this re-
turn, the plan offers an example of the Instance
cited previously by which an Individual Is willing to
make a long-time Investment Id order to make It
possible for the next generation in hia family u»
enjoy the results.
