the latter had been practically all transformed into high forest; 

 consequently the workwood per cent, had been changed from 29 

 to 35.8%. 



The small municipalities within the canton own more than ten 

 times the area of the cantonal forest and show similar changes. 



Year Forest Cut per Net Yield per Expense 



Area. Acre. Acre. cu. ft per acre. 



1861 78,857 acres 81.5 cu. ft. $3.58 44 $1.07 



1910 86,445 acres 84.5 cu. ft. 5.53 66 2.92 



Here also the change from coppice to high forest has mainly 

 produced the better result (54%), in spite of the great increase of 

 expense (173%), the change being from 38% high forest and 

 62% coppice to 85.8% high forest. 



In the cost of logging, the workwood, better fuelwood, and 

 brush stand as i : 2 : 4, while the prices naturally go in reverse 

 order, quite nearly as i : ^ : ^. 



These forests are worked under sustained yield principles, as 

 near as possible annual, while the 18,000 acres of private forest 

 are worked intermittently in selection forest with corresponding 

 poor results.
