usually bucked in such a manner that all the sound timber could be used. 

 The only loss in bucking appeared to be where logs were cut from one to 

 one and one-half feet over the even log lengths. Considerable saving could 

 have been accomplished had a closer inspection of log-lengths been main- 

 tained. 



The stump-heights varied from 2% to 4 feet, depending upon the size 

 of timber, character of tree, and conditions around the base of the tree. 

 On the whole, the stumps were about as low as could be asked for under 

 the conditions. Upon areas that had been yarded, practically no logs of 

 merchantable value were left.
