Table V shows the result of cutting softwood on the hardwood 
type. This area, cut over about ten years previous to the study, 
was covered by a 10 per cent strip survey.

Clear Cutting Hard and Softwoods: 
In the true use of the term “clear cutting,” there has been 
no removal of this nature carried on in the larger logging opera- 
tions, since hardwoods of small diameter and cull trees are left 
standing. Data are presented on a study of hardwood type cut 
for all merchantable hard and softwoods. 
ITardwood Type: 
A ealiper record of all trees one-half inch D. B. H. and up 
was taken on strips one chain wide over 20 per cent of the area. 
A total of 12.2 aeres was calipered. In addition, plots one rod 
square were laid out at two-chain intervals, and all trees less 
than one-half inch were counted. Height growth was measured 
on dominant trees of mean diameter over one-half inch. In 
this way, the average growth of the dominant reproduction in 
each species was determined. <A special study was made on 
spruce by measurement of the growth of the last twelve years on
