108 THE ADIRONDACK SPRUCE 
With twelve inches as the limit, the yield per acre is 
3045 board feet; the total stand is 83,837,985 board 
feet ; the same cut can be obtained in twenty-five years 
(Yield Table II, column /, line 3); the area lumbered 
annually would be 27,533—25—=1101' acres = 7m 
annual cut would be 83,837,985 — 25 = 3,353,519 
board feet. 
With fourteen inches as the limit, the average yield 
per acre is 2400 board feet; the total stand is 66,079,- 
200 board feet ; the same cut can be obtained in twenty 
years (Yield Table III, column /, line 3); the area 
lumbered annually would be 27,533 —-20= 1377 acres ; 
the annual cut would be 66,079,200 ~ 20 = 3,303,960 
board feet. 
By cutting down to twelve inches the annual yield 
would be 597,987 board feet greater than if ten inches 
be made the limit. It would be necessary to lumber 
357 acres more for this additional amount, but this would 
pay inasmuch as there are about 3000 board feet per 
acre over twelve inches. Technically it would be far 
better for the forest to cut to twelve rather than ten 
inches. It would be more profitable to cut to twelve 
rather than to fourteen inches, because slightly more 
timber could be cut annually and the area lumbered 
would be smaller. : 
In order to facilitate the location of the cuttings on 
the map the Park has been divided into six watersheds, 
as follows : 
Lake Lila, 7470 acres, comprising the area draining into , 
that lake, as well as a small section drained by Bog Lake.
