A Southern forest. One of our men estimated the timber on this tract. 



These plans and other records may be kept up-to-date, with 

 little yearly expense, additions of information being made by 

 the regular field force of the concern, so that the initial ex- 

 pense of preparation is the only one necessary to consider. 

 In this way the manager is able at any time to furnish himself 

 or his directors with a birdseye view of the holdings and opera- 

 tions, and is able to look for years in advance on the location 

 and result of cuttings. Directors are able intelligently to 

 apprehend what is being done, and the manager intelligently to 

 explain it. 



Besides making surveys, estimates of timber, working plans, 

 yield predictions and plantings, our services may be obtained 

 for inspection of logging operations, planning of fire patrol 

 systems, oversight and planning of logging railroad construction, 

 and estimates of water power. Estates will also be managed 

 for those who have not the desire nor the opportunity to act as 

 their own agents. 



If the regulations of the land owner or the recommendations 

 of the forester are to amount to anything logging operations 

 must be inspected. This work should be carried out at first 

 by trained practical men, who will know what should be done, 

 and compel it. A profitable system is to have a technical 

 forester introduce systematic methods of procedure, and arrange 

 the work so it can be carried on by cheaper men.
