(c) Value and Application. — Carl Heyer's formula dates 

 from 1 84 1, and is perhaps the only one of the formula methods 

 in active use to-day. Gustav Heyer, in the re\ased edition 

 of Carl Heyer's work,* adds a complete period distribution of 

 the cut similar to that described under No. 17 below. However, 

 this is possible only under regular conditions and in even-aged 

 stands, and in no way destroys the effectiveness of Heyer's 

 formula in irregular, uneven-aged stands, although it correctly 

 emphasizes the importance of adding to the mere volume 

 determination of the cut a " when " and " where " by means 

 of a careful cutting plan (distribution of cut) as described below 

 in Section 2 of the present chapter. 



With this in mind, Heyer's formula is directly applicable to
