VOLUME AND VALUE OF WOOD 



CUT FROM AGREEMENT FORESTS, 1969-70 



2. Forest Access Roads are built for a variety of purposes 

 such as timber extraction, forest improvement, forest pro- 

 tection, hunting and fishing research, and other forest uses. 

 Under this category, 89.2 miles of new roads were built, and 

 97.4 miles were improved. 



SCALING 



Scaling is carried out in the Province to determine quantities 

 of wood cut from Crown lands for revenue, for forest man- 

 agement, and for statistical analysis of economic conditions 

 and trends in the wood-using industries. 



Continual attention to the fast-changing techniques of 

 cutting and moving wood from the stump to the mill has 

 encouraged and brought about new concepts of wood 

 measurement. These resultant changes have, as well, been 

 directed towards speeding up and simplifying scaling 

 operations at a minimum cost, while retaining control over 

 the movement of wood. The most promising of the new 

 wood measurement methods are tree-length scaling, weight 

 scaling, and sample scaling. 



Computer analysis of scaling data and preparation of 

 Crown dues accounts is now effective across the Province 

 and is the basis of a monthly billing system. 



Scaling examinations were held at the following locations 

 on the dates noted: Huntsville, May 1-2, 1969; North Bay, 

 May 30, 1969; and North Bay, September 26, 1969. A total 

 of 90 new scalers were licensed at the three courses, and 

 339 licences were renewed for a three-year period.
