Here are two examples of good cutting. Above: In Columbia National Forest, Wash, 

 ington, between French Butte and Mt. Rainier, 60- to 100-acre patches of Douglas- 

 fir (instead of whole mountainsides) are clean-cut, with regard to location of seed 

 trees, prevailing winds, slopes, ease of logging, roads. New growth will start soon; 

 then other blocks will be cut. Below: A farm wood lot in Chemung County, New 

 York, after cutting but before logs are removed. The tract was carefully cut: Low 

 stumps, healthy young trees left for later harvests, standing trees undamaged. Such 

 a wood lot can return steady income in cash sales, posts, and fuel for home use.
