230 THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF WORKING PLANS 



pography. (This may be done elsewhere in cases where such action 



will simplify treatment.) 



Blocks and chances only when they are actually needed to assist in 

 regulation. (Blocks — main logging units or groups of logging 

 units. Chances — single logging units or the subdivision of 

 blocks necessary to carry out the management.) 



Annual or periodic cut. The limitation of cut including sales and 

 free use. Accurately for ten years, and approximately for the 

 periods of the rotation. (Include in the plan only the essential 

 features of the method used, and cover necessary details in the 

 Appendix. Blank table for tabulation of limitation and amounts 

 actually cut. Sales and free use.) 



Sales. (By divisions, if advisable.) 



Policy. Restriction and encouragement and location. (The plan of 

 cutting and specific application to actual conditions of the preceding 

 conclusions and of the service policy and regulations. Past man- 

 agement to be treated only as it will help in an understanding of that 

 proposed.) 



Stumpage appraisals. Maximum and minimum rates. 



Administration and other features. Special force needed. Costs. 

 (Summary for use in obtaining total forest expenditures in Section 

 VII.) 

 Free Use. (Principles applying specifically the genera! free use policy, espe- 

 cially where it is more or less vague and general. By divisions, if 

 advisable.) 



Present and prospective annual demand by classes of users and of forest 

 products. 



Policy, restriction, or encouragement by districts and classes of products. 



Administration. Free use areas. Blanket or year long permits. Other 

 measures to promote economy. Special force needed. Costs. 

 (Summary for use in obtaining total forest expenditures in Section 

 VII.) 



Map or maps showing topography, types, classification of timber, boundaries 

 of divisions, blocks, etc., free use areas, cut-over areas, etc. 



Forestatio?i: 



General relation to ultimate timber management. 



Areas requiring forestation. By types. (Brief description. Tabulated.) 



Methods and species. (Concise. Base upon results of past work. In 



addition to sowing, planting, etc, include seed collection, poisoning 



rodents, etc.) 



Detailed plan. (Five years, or if impracticable, omit and provide for 



annually.) 



Areas, methods, and costs. (Tabulated.) 



Administrative features. Special force needed. (Regular and 

 special work'such as seed collecting, etc.) 

 Nursery. 



Ultimate production, species, and numbers. 

 Methods. (Essential features.) 

 Detailed plan. (Five years.) 



Species, numbers, and costs. (Tabulated form.) 

 Administrative features. Special force needed. 

 Map showmg areas to be reforested, classified as above, etc. 



Investigations: (Which can be conducted inexpensively in connection with 

 the regular administration of the forest and which should result in prac- 

 tical information needed in the administration. Brief.)
