TREE* UNDER 75 YEAR* OLD. 



An operation in Gates County, North Carolina, yielded at the mill from two stands, one aver- 

 aging 45 years old (Quality site I), and one averaging 60 years old (Quality site II to III), the following 

 volumes in board feet (circular saw 1-4 inch kerf). As was to be expected, the younger tree*, although 

 taller, gave the lower yield. 



The mill IOSM in this case could have b-. i, <-.>n-i I r.iMy I -sttcned by a better disposition of log
