are a few excellent lots of young timber trees in the middle and 

 southern sections. The town has recently purchased 20 acres of 

 pine land, size Classes 2 to 1, stocked nearly 100 per cent., just 

 north of the village. It will be used as a park. The principal 

 types found in Lunenburg are white pine, pitch pine, chestnut, 

 oak, maple, poplar and gray birch. Most of the land is utilized, 

 and waste tracts are very rare. 



H. B. Francis of Lunenburg cuts about 100 M board feet per 

 year of pine, chestnut and hardwoods and about 200 cords of 

 wood.

MENDON. 



.Although sizes 4 to 3 are the prevailing size classes, yet 20 

 per cent, or more of the timbered land has sizes 3 to 2 on it, 

 mostly chestnut and oak with a little good merchantable pine. 

 Mendon fares better than most of the surrounding towns in 

 having a fair proportion of the cut-over lots coming in to pine.
