The Stand. 



The figures for the present stand of timber in Garrett county were 

 obtained by multiplying the acreage of each forest type by the aver- 

 age acre yield obtained from measurements of typical areas within 

 the type. In the table no allowance is made for defective timber. 

 The Ridge Timber has been excluded from the merchantable class 

 on account of its general defectiveness. 



The following tables show the present stand of virgin timber by
