AN OUTLINE 



FOR A FIELD STUDY OF A 



LUMBER OPERATION 



THIS outline is merely a guide to field observations 

 and the student is expected to cover all details of the 

 operation, even though some of them may not appear 

 in the outline. Strict attention should be given to 

 details even though they may appear of minor impor- 

 tance only. The written report should be presented 

 in readable form and the topics discussed in the order 

 in which they appear in the outline. Liberal use 

 should be made of maps, diagrams, sketches, and 

 photographs since they are a great aid in making the 

 text clear.
