The valuation given for the agricultural, grazing, and timber 

 land is that as idicated by the field data after, however, having 

 had careful consideration by the Board. 



In the field, all trees having a diameter of six inches or over 

 were calipered but the volume table used in converting these 

 diameter measurements into board feet does not consider any 

 tree under eight inches diameter breast high. As this excludes 

 from computation a large number of trees under eight inches 

 which are too large to be considered as reproduction, in the in- 

 terpretation given for that classification for the purpose of this 

 work, the following method was used : 



The reproduction was divided into four types as shown by the 

 table. If there occurred fifteen or more six and seven inch trees 

 to the acre in any type of reproduction, this class was rated as the 

 type next higher; if forty or more occurred, the class was rated 

 as two types higher. As for example, a section may show eighty 

 acres "poor" reproduction with an average of twenty trees six 

 to seven inches in diameter. In the used classification, these 

 eighty acres are classed "fair" ; if forty-five trees to the acre, the 

 classification is "good". 



The classification of the land as agricultural, grazing, or timber 

 was based on the field data. As agricultural was considered land 

 that was under cultivation at the present time as well as land 

 that possessed the necessary characteristics as to be potential 

 agricultural land. In other words, all cultivable land was classed 

 as agricultural. The value given it depended upon the conditions 

 surrounding each particular area of land of this character, and 

 not upon any hard and fast rule of value. It is felt that by this
