It is a generally cel fact that it is necessary to leave a good stand after each cutting, if any future forest crops are expect- ed, and the question arises as to the proper number of trees to be left on an acre of land for the Iargectlt possible returns Also there are the questions to be con- sidered: what trees should be lett to mature, and does it pay to leave seed trees? Experience has drown that the trees selected for cutting should be chosen with careful consilera- ti0n as to their potential value as eawatinlber or for p110e.
