15 to 20 feet high. He said it was 

 not worth bothering about as there 

 was only small stuff and no "timber" 

 there, and so the fire was allowed 

 to run up the mountain side uncheck- 

 edd. This attitude is quite prevalent, 

 even yet, among those working in tlie 

 woods, and every effort should be 

 made to bring about a more general 

 recognition of the fact that this 

 young timber will before long be in 

 demand, and that it has a present 

 value. 



"There are several ways of valuing 

 the young growth. If one figures on 

 the cost of replacement by planting, 

 young stands less than a foot high 

 are worth at least $10 per acre. The 

 Dominion Forestry Branch assigns 

 the following arbitrary values for cer- 

 tain kinds of reproduction when fully 

 stocked : 



'■' Age Pine, Spruce, etc. Poplar 



Up to 25 years . . $ 5.00 $300 



25-50 years 10.00 6.00 



If one applies only a proportion of 

 the present stumpage value, based on 



the present age a scompared with 

 the mature age, 10-year-old reproduc- 

 tion in the Douglas fir-cedar type 

 should be worth between $3.00 and 

 $5.00 per acre.t The Forest Branch 

 reports of the areas of valuable young 

 growth burned in recent years are in- 

 teresting though the valuation placed 

 on the young growth is very low, 

 and it is reasonable to presume that 

 it is impossible to secure complete 

 reports as to the area of all the fires 

 in this class of timber.
