VOLUME TABLES 
VOLUME tables show the contents of standing timber. 
The primary object of the construction of such tables 
in this case was for use in working up the results of the 
1046 acre measurements taken in Ne-Ha-Sa-Ne Park, | 
but it will be seen that they supply in addition the 
means of estimating standing timber with accuracy 
and despatch whether the result is desired in standards, 
board feet, cubic feet of merchantable timber, or in cords. 
They are based on measurements of the product of trees 
of different sizes actually cut in the woods. 
Mention has already been made of the 2006 stem an- 
alyses of small timber cut for pulp at Santa Clara, New 
York, and of the 298 analyses of trees cut into logs 
on the edge of the Park. The volume tables have been 
computed from the results of these stem analyses. 
Since this study is primarily for use in practical forestry, 
only tables of merchantable yield were made. For this 
purpose tables have been calculated which show the 
number of standards, board feet, merchantable cubic 
feet, and cords contained in trees of different heights 
and diameters.
