REPORT OF THE FORESTER.

In addition, turpentining rights aggregating 209,850 cups were 

 sold for $9,272.82 on the Florida Forest. The average return of 

 $44.35 per thousand cups is somewhat less than that received in the 

 previous year, on account of the shorter period covered by some of 

 the contracts. 



The number of timber sales, classified by value, and the number of 

 sales at cost, practically all of which are for less than $100, are given 

 in Table 2.
