526 APPENDIX 



''The following rules shall govern all measurements for de- 

 fects. 



"For a hollow log two-thirds of the diameter of the hollow in 

 inches, shall be deducted from the diameter of the log and the 

 hollow shall be measured the long way. 



"Old logs shall have the following deductions made from con- 

 tents: 2 inches for logs that have been held over one season, 

 or that show sound discolored sap; 4 inches for logs older than 

 one season, or that show rotten, or doty sap. Logs that show 

 worm holes below sap line shall be classed as No. 6. 



"All logs shall be measured at both ends. When there is a 

 variation of one inch in the diameter, the least end shall be taken 

 as the measurement of the log; if a variation of 2 inches, the 

 number of inches shall be divided; if 3 inches the number of 

 inches shall be divided as if only 2 inches; if 4 inches, the diam- 

 eter shall be divided, but if the difference exceeds 4 inches it 

 shall be divided as if only 4 inches. 



" 'Edged' logs shall be measured the flat way. 



"All crotch, or forked logs shall be cut off sufficient to clear 

 the crotch or fork. 



"All crooked logs shall be classed as No. 6, unless sufficient 

 deductions are made for straightening.

 logs as applies to other logs, but ash logs shall be of the following 

 sizes: No. i, 24 inches and up in diameter; No. 2, 20 to 23 

 inches inclusive in diameter; No. 3, 18- and 19-inch logs; No. 4, 

 16- and 17-inch logs; No. 5, 15-inch logs; No. 6, 12-, 13- and 

 14-inch logs.

"No. 2 shall be 20 to 23 inches in diameter inclusive, fresh 

 cut, green, straight and free from knots, windshakes and other 

 defects; except that this grade may take logs 24 inches and up in 

 diameter with one to three small solid knots not exceeding 3
