14 Forestry Quarterly. 



No trouble will be allowed with any Jobber, and each Inspec- 

 tor's work will be judged by its results. The high standard set 

 by you all as fire rangers must be maintained, and I feel sure that 

 you will continue to uphold the reputation of this Department. 



Instructions to Woods Inspectors for Forestry Work. 



Following the jobbers this winter you will measure as many 

 trees as possible in white spruce, black spruce, white pine, red 

 pine, jack pine, balsam, and tamarac, in the following way. 



Height of stump from ground. 



Diameter inside the bark on average axis at stump height. 



Diameter outside the bark on average axis at stump height. 



Repeat the two last measurements at each 13.5 foot cut. 



Length of trunk from last cut to extreme top. 



Diameter breast high 4.5 ft. outside bark. 



On the stump and average diameter, and at each 13.5 foot cross 

 section you will count the rings from just inside the bark inward 

 to the heart. You will mark each tenth ring with a pencil, and 

 measuring along a straight line give the length of each line from 

 one ten year point to the next, taking for your notes the length 

 of the first ten year joint from the outside, the length of the 

 second from the outside and so until the center is reached. 



Only normal trees are to be chosen, also average trees, no 

 forked or unsound, or exceptionally large or small or suppressed 

 trees should be measured. Give the type from which each tree 

 was chosen, as ridge, slope, level ground, or swamp. In case of 

 slope, note whether it has north, east, south or west exposure. 



Notes must be taken on paddles and copied on forms. Make 

 them complete and full, remembering that you will not be work- 

 ing them up, do not trust anything to your memories. The char- 

 acter of the notes will be used in judging of your work. Clear 

 cut, clean, legible notes, showing good judgment will be counted 

 very much in your favor. 



Study your territory carefully and report fully on it.
