 The ideal type -map will show types based on present composi-

Discussion. 



HILL: It loohs to mo as if it all summed 

 up to about this. ~ 7 o have got some day 

 to include the physical factor in type 

 niching. In order to manage our forests 

 according to the producing power of the 

 land. But after all, the distribution of 

 plants in the country is not dependent 

 solely on soil and climate. Menriman's 

 Life ?one Theory has been completely 

 overthrown as not showing the wholo truth 

 Shore are pleats mult ipljring here that 

 were not hore originally. On the other 

 hand, I agree perfectly with Ihrans that 

 so long as we are confronted with tim- 

 ber sales whose need is immediate, we 

 have got to malro a type map which shows 

 composition. 



HODGB stated that in Dist.6 they have a' 

 scheme where they are combining the two, 

 but didn x t catch in his last statement 

 that ho showed how that can be done, 

 HODG-B: I proposed to combine tho two 

 by having tho cover map which they use 

 in Dist.6 compiled from our estimate 

 sheets e.:id sonohow or other I thinli we 

 ought to draw type lines within the 

 forties. I haven" 1 1 figured out how, but 

 I thinlr Hargolin has a r>lan. It seems to
