 by the exclusion of grazing and fire.

to local conditions, carried out with the object of removing 



as much of the bad growth and inferior trees and as many of the better class 

 poles as the demand requires, provided that a minimum of 50 trees per acre of 

 the best individuals of the best species will be reserved as standards. 



Bamboo cuttings will be confined to the compartment open for the purpose. 

 Unrestricted removal of grass, minor produce and dead material will be allowed 

 from all the circles. Grazing will be freely allowed in all the grazing and 

 unworkable circles. The felling series have been divided into compartments 

 taking into consideration the grazing requirements so as to cause the least possible 

 inconvenience to the people. It is not expected that the compartments will be 

 fully worked over, but the object in dividing into compartments is more for the 

 closing to grazing and fire-protection purposes than with the idea of their being 

 fully worked over for fuel and timber.

required by the people. The demand for poles is very 



little, but the protection of forests from cattle and fire for a period of 10 years, 

 together with the affording of grazing to the cattle, has necessitated a. rotation o! 

 30 years. 



THE FELLINGS.

If a balance remains uncut in the previous year's compartments, such balance 

 may be utilized to meet the demand, provided that the compartments allotted for 

 the year shall be first cut over. 



43. There is no reliable data from which the present capability of these 

 forests can be tested, as until recently the outturn was not restricted to any 

 particular area.
