64 “THE ADIRONDACK SPRUCE 
The table of standards was then converted into board 
feet by multiplying the number of standards of each di- 
ameter by the factor corresponding to that diameter 
in the small table. These factors do not correspond 
closely, except for the largest diameters, with those 
adopted by common practice in the Adirondacks. The 
latter range from 190 to to 200 board feet to the stand- 
ard. The present figures, however, are taken directly 
from the logs by the use of the two rules, and therefore 
show the actual relation between Scribner and Dim- 
mick. Since Scribner undervalues small logs, such 
logs scaled in standards would also overrun these 
figures, because they are made directly from the rules,
