initial stunpage values. 



_is I say, wo got three operators, which, luckily, 

 v/ere all included in one marlret unit as laid out when we 

 started tlie stucLy, It would be fair to assume that the 

 average selling value of these three operations d 



would represent the merliot unit pretty close^, "but unfor- 

 tunately, right there we weren T t selling any timber. Then 

 the question cainc up as to how we could apply these figures 

 to sections whore we were selling; timber. '.7e couldn T t get 

 access to boolis v/here we weio selling timber, we were ab- 

 eoliiuely dependent on these three operations to give us a 

 lino on the entire State, -so we did this: *7e averaged 

 the so figures and reduced the values to S.P.Bay "by adding 

 the freight. 7o figured the shipping weight on the various 

 species on the "basis of the Itojbormen's classification, with 

 the exception of iir and cedar. There appears to oe no of- 

 ficial shipping weights on those two species. In fact, the 

 estimates given oy different lumlDermen varied from a maj:imu2 

 . weight of 5060$ por M and a minlmuai of about 1500, so it- 

 appears to "be largely a question of personal opinion. There- 

 fore we arbitrarily took weights froD our tinber tests. ,7e 

 figured the shipping weight on lumber at about 20 per cent 

 moisture. On that "basis the theoretical shipping weights 



would be - Sugar pine, 2400 Ibs, 



If Yollow Pine 2700 

 Ihite i--lr 2730 



Incense Cedar 2180
