66 THE WORKING-PLAN REPORT [CH .vin 



A Forest Journal should also be kept up year by year in which 

 an informal record will be kept, in narrative form, of all matters 

 of interest connected with the forest and its working, which are 

 not already recorded in the control form. Silvicultural notes of 

 all kinds, especially on regeneration, will be put on record, also 

 anything remarkable in the way of climate, such as wind, storms, 

 frost, snow, or drought: then fires; fluctuations of prices, special 

 demands for any kind of produce, contractors, and labour 

 supply, etc. As a record of cultural observations, and notes on 

 the regeneration and growth of the crops under the changing 

 conditions of each season's climate, the journal, if well kept, 

 forms a most valuable record of information for future use.
