Every lumberman l/zoz^s, of course^ t/nit even labo- 



latory cafe ivoulil not make it possible to nidi sure every boai'd foot 

 in a 'tract of standing trees. Even a LACET REPORT is, in tJie strict 

 sense, an estimate. 



It IS perfectly tn/e, //owever, that t/ie more elaborate 



the ca7-e and the g7'eater the proportion of actual measurement, the 

 nearer to t/ie actual facts an estimate becomes. Tiie skill and experience of tlie 

 expert timl)er cruiser are most necessary, but no amount of skill and experience 

 can take tlie place of science, care and double checking.

proportiotis of experience, skill a fid scic/ice a /id ivill gi-ve you the 

 nearest possible approach to actual knowledge of the quantity, quality and distri- 

 bution of timber in the tract you think of buying or selling.
