best financial results are to be obtained. However, in 

 attempting to achieve this end, care must be taken not 

 to "thin" the crops too heavily, for, to pursue such a 

 course in the case of young crops would result in the 

 production of coarse, "knotty" timber, and would also 

 check the height growth. 



Generally speaking, the more trees there are per 

 acre, the greater will be the average annual increment of 

 timber, though, as previously indicated, the actual profits 

 will often be less. 



As regards the financial results indicated by the 

 tables, including also the most profitable rotation, these 

 depend so very largely upon the respective prices for 

 timber in various localities, influenced not only by 

 market demand but also by transport facilities, that in 

 many cases it will be imperative that those responsible 

 for the management of woodlands work out the financial 

 results themselves, using the necessary data as to the 

 volume of timber as found in the following tables.
