If during the currency of this working plan the demand on any of these blocks should 

 appreciably increase from any cause whatsoever, full advantage of this circumstance should be 

 taken to make the treatment more intensive by augmenting the number and thus propor- 

 tionately diminishing the size of the coupes. According to the extent of the increase the 

 number of the coupes will be augmented by splitting up each of the original five coupes 

 into two or more new coupes. The latter contingency would mean that the demand was 

 large enough to justify the transfer of the block in question at once to the list of forests dealt 

 with in the immediately following paragraphs. 



92. The other class of areas, vis., those capable of being at once worked systematically 

 on a commercial basis, comprise all the remaining A class forests. These must be separated 

 into (a) areas which have produced and can still produce large timber, so scarce in these Pro- 

 vinces, and (6) those which can never yield anything larger than the small timber constituting 

 the bulk of the requirements of the local population and the poorer inhabitants of towns. 



To the former sub-class belong only the Machmacha, Khitoli, Sutri and Karela blocks, 

 i.e., not more than 32 square miles (only 6 per cent.) out of the total area of 535 square miles 

 composing the Division. The whole of these 32 square miles, which are situated within easy 

 reach of two Railways, must therefore be worked exclusively in the interests of large timber.* 

 Fortunately this is possible, for with the exception of Karela (just a little over half a square 

 mile), the entire area has, under the orders of the Administration, been considered since 



* It must not be understood from this that only large timber will be obtained from the forests so treated. 

 Only the most promising trees will be kept to attain a large size, thw rest will be cut at various ages just 

 before they begin to deteriorate and will furnish all the classes of wood required by the village and poorer 

 town population.
