10 THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF WORKING PLANS 



then, since cXrXi = S, 



c = 



rXi 



Flury has calculated c for the chief species of Europe and for 

 various rotations as shown in the following table. These values 

 are for timberwood only.

Applying Flury's constant c to McCarthy's white pine 

 yields as given above, the factor is as follows: for rotation of 

 30 years, c = .3o6; for 40 years, .365; for 50 years, .378; for 60 

 years, .421; for 70 years, .452; for 80 years, .475; for 90 years, 

 .493; for 100 years, .507; for no years, .518; for 120 years, 

 .525; for 130 years, .536; and for 140 years, .542. 



Thus the value for 140 years given above as 19,715,000 

 board feet would be corrected as follows: 



«t' = cX/'X/ = . 542X140X281. 64 



= .542X39,430X1000 (acres) = 21,371,000 board feet, 



which compares closely wdth the value 21,407,000 board feet 

 found by summation of the jield table.
