IN VALUE. 



* Tli is sum rt-prt-sHnts the average nett income per acre which will be earned upon the average 

 accumulated capital when once the forest Is in proper working rotation, i.e., when it is normally stocked 

 vith crops of all ages from one year old up to maturity. The cost of replanting is estimated at 5 per 

 acre, and it is assumed that the laud is allowed to lie fallow for one year. 



On a 

 12O-yca.r 



rotation. 



The most profitable rotation 



(according to the yields and prices indicated) 



Is one of 95 to 1OO years, if interest is reckoned at 3.\ or 

 4 per cent. 



Prices of Timber (standing). 



J These prices are equivalent to the following scale of prices : 



Timber 12 in. q.g. and over at Is. 9d. per cub. foot. 



6 in. q.g. and under 12 in. at lOd. per cub. foot. 

 ,, below 6 in. q.g. at 3d. per cub. foot. 



It is presumed that the trees are felled in winter, and no allowance has been made 

 for the sale of bark.
