-quite close together. In order
gat the maximum amount of
pWtIi from this area, some of .the
bees must be thinned out.
'The idea of thinning in a wood -
1 t le similar to thinning carrots
(a, a garden. Certain specimens
must have more room in which to
grow. There is only a certain
amount of food available in the
soil;, and if a large number of
trees are competing for this, none
of them will grow very fast. How-
ever, if some trees are removed,
more toed will be available for the
'remaining trees and their growth
rate will increase greatly.
This has been proven in the
woods many times over. Perhaps
one of the most §striking proofs is
the following: Studies were made

of beech growing in two different
woodiots. One woodlot was well
managed, using forestry principles;
the other Was not. From the man-
aged woodlot, a beech 12 -inches in
diameter was cut and found to be
85 years old, A tree of a similar
diameter from the unmanaged
woodlot was 135 years old, This
shows how the rate of growth was
speded up by use of thinnings.
The axe or • saw , is the only
means of controlling growth rate
in a woodlot. In growing other
farm crops, rate of growth can be
improved by use of fertilizers and
cultivation. This is not so in a
woodlot. Only by removing tree.$
where they are crowded can
growth rate be stimulated. The
material secured from a thinning
operation can be utilized for fire-
wood and two objects are fulfilled
as a result of this work.
The Department of Lands and
Forests is setting up thinning dem-
onstration plots in some woodlots
through the co-operation of the
owners, These plots are thinned
•out `and measurements taken on
the trees. Beside the thinned plot
is located another plot of similar
size which is not thinned. Thus,
over a number of years a compari-
son of growth rate between the
thinned and unthinned plots is
found. This is a means of dem-
onstrating in a practical way the
value of thinning in a woodlot.
Plots established in hardwood
stands for this purpose are located
as follows: Huron County, Stan-
ley Township, Bayfield Road South,
