especially favorable to White fir reproduction a modified form 

 of clear cutting and burning over small areas should be used.

 species. On upper slopes it may be possible to extend the areas 

 of the pure White fir stands and manage them on a short ro- 

 tation under a clear cutting system, for pulp wood and box ma- 

 terial. The operations of the Pelican Bay Lumber Co- would 

 afford an excellent opportunity for experimental work along these 

 lines.
