WHAT IT COSTS TO CLEAN UP A FOREST 



(Continued from page 86) 

 big ends in one direction everything is burned, 

 and allows the burners to proceed with the fell- 

 ers. There are two main difficulties in this way: 



1. The opposition of the men doing the work, 

 even though desired by their superiors. 



2. The present system of placing the men. 

 These are more serious problems than would 



be supposed. Good men are scarce, and they 

 object to the heat and sparks from the fires. 

 Therefore, the poorer workers drift into a job 

 they cannot handle properly. However, this 

 can be overcome by piece-work, with a bonus 

 and proper supervision. 



Cost. This cost has been obtained from the 

 time reported as v/ork done by the men on the 

 job. However, the costs were kept separately 

 for each strip , therefore we have been able to 

 obtain also a comparative cost on same. For 

 obtaining the number of cords, the logs were 

 measured at the mid-diameter, 4,000 logs on the 

 burned area being measured, and the result used 

 as a converting figure. The Quebec rule was 

 used in obtaining the board measure. 



The following has been compiled from the 

 actual time recorded against the operation. A 

 daily time sheet shows for the whole operation:
