Forest conditions on a cut-over and abandoned tract fifty years after 

 self-seeding has been accomplished. Note the variety of species many of 

 which are inferior both in kind and quality. Proper management would 

 remove the undesirable species and increase by two or three times the 

 growth of the right kind of trees.

A second growth sprout and seedling woodlot properly thinned. Poor 

 and worthless kinds of trees taken out and the better ones given a 

 chance to greatly increase their growth.
