OUR FORESTRY SERVICE. EXPLAINED 



The owner of forest property, desiring to obtain definite 

 knowledge of his forest values, and to know if his operations 

 are in line with conservation both for himself and the nation, 

 will wish to know something of the services he may be able to 

 obtain from experienced foresters. 



The operator or the mill man will also desire to know how to 

 arrive at an accurate knowledge of the forest values of a given 

 territory. 



To such we offer our services as foresters. Our wide ex- 

 perience in forestry work, together with the obviously logical 

 methods of our procedure, will commend themselves to the 

 judgment of men experienced in the broader aspects of busi- 

 ness, appreciating the value of technical knowledge, but being 

 obliged to depend upon others for its application. 



Our service is as varied as the needs of the problem to be 

 considered, and but a general idea of these methods can be 

 given, leaving it to the individual owner or operator to see what 

 portion thereof can be applied with profit to his own business. 



The consideration of a typical case will serve to illustrate. 



There is a tract of wild land, about which little is known. 

 It was surveyed and the outer lines run forty or fifty years ago, 

 and it has been cut on more or less ever since. An examination 

 of it had been made by several local cruisers, and rough plans 

 turned in. 



It is desired to know something definite about this property. 

 There may be an offer from a prospective buyer, or the owners 

 may desire to log it in such a manner that the lumber will last 

 and bring in a continuous income. Parts of it may be burnt 

 and it is desired to know how much. We may think the taxes 

 are too high. Perhaps it is desired to borrow money on the 

 timber value, and erect a mill to get the profit that has hitherto 

 gone to others. Or a buyer may wish to know what he is 

 getting, or what price to pay in order to receive proper interest 

 on his capital. 



Such are some of the conditions which usually call for our 

 services. After agreeing on general ideas, the procedure is as 

 follows, according to the work necessary to be done:
