General discussion, in w>ich '.Theoler 

 said, that the forest with little 

 timber ro quired more export knowledge 

 and care than the heavily wooded 

 f orosts; 



Peck said that on such forest s timo 

 should "be given ~^o a planting plan; 



Riloy said they found the distinc- 

 tion "be two on a preliminary and a 

 wording plan very confusing, so they 

 make it a plan of work - rather than 

 a working plan; and when they get it 

 39 that they are not changing it- 

 each year cr so it will "bo a working 

 plan; that they make it as much as 

 possible a thing of charts and maps, 

 and keep away as much as seems wise 

 from having their data in the files. 



Ayres said that some of the dif- 

 ficulties in the way of preparing a 

 preliminary IPorest plcn wore the 

 lack of actual facts to "base anything 

 on; the impossibility of looking in- 

 to the future, and the fact that all 

 typos of work on a Forest are so in- 

 terrelated; and that he thought the 

 "best way to do waff to take the few 

 facts you had as a "basis for a plan 

 oven if they only cover twc* or three 

 linos of work, and expand later. 



Allen, in reference to Peck's state- 

 ment that intensive reconnaissance 

 work has "been done in Dist.5, asked 

 Pock if he thought it justifiable to 

 SDend a lot of inone3r doing intensive 

 reconnaissance, fro:n which no returns 

 will come for a long while . 



Pook said ho thought .ill en would 

 have to figure out how soon he could 

 sell his timber; that the present 

 policy was to work first on the areas 

 for which there yes immediate demand, 

 and pay very 1 it tie attention to 

 other areas. 



Mullen said that a good base map or 

 something of the sort to work on was 

 essential.
