proportion of wood-lots yielding saw-timber, 60.66 per cent of those re- 

 ported falling in this class. 



This, however, is probably higher than would apply to all farm 

 wood-lots, for a large proportion of them have been already stripped of 

 the more valuable trees which produce sawlogs. Based on indications 

 from total yields of saw-timber for the state, there are probably 30 per 

 cent of the wood-lots which still contain crops of this class of timber.

Included in fuel wood are sales of cordwood from 2134 acres, or 

 10.68 per cent of the area. 



The production of wood on farms is not confined to wood-lots. 

 Hedges yield considerable quantities of posts and fuel. Willows and 

 other trees springing up along streams and on small corners or patches 

 of rough ground are periodically cleaned out and used for fuel or even 

 for posts, and the aggregate production of wood from these sources is 

 sometimes sufficient to supply a considerable proportion of the fuel for 

 the farm at least, and for the state must reach a considerable total. 



In order to measure the actual yields of the wood crop and value 

 the different products on a comparative basis, each product must be con- 

 verted into cubic feet, to serve as a common standard. (For converting- 

 factors, see Appendix, Note 8.)
