fact that it is necessary to leave a
good stand after each cutting, if
any future forest crops are expect-

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-

seed trees?

trees selected for cutting should
be chosen with careful consilera-
