Relative Value of Different Products. 



Table 5 gives the contents and values of average trees of 

 different sizes in different products, under the teaming condi- 

 tions and market values given in the note. " Additional wood " 

 is the wood in tops and limbs, which is assumed to be put into 

 cordwood. The first column in the table gives the diameter 

 of the tree outside the bark at 4% feet from the ground. The 

 second gives the average height of trees of that diameter. The 

 columns headed " value " give the stumpage values of the trees 

 in the given product. Those headed " value and profit " are 

 computed from the combined stumpage and profit, and repre- 

 sent the clear gain, over and above costs, of the owner who does 

 his own logging. 



The contents of the different trees are taken from Tables 6, 

 7, 8 and 9. The figures for ties are those in the Connecticut 

 bulletin, w T hich are lower than the average in the Forest Service 

 bulletin, so the values are correspondingly lower.
