A. FELLINGS BY VOLUME 



Art. 6. Method of getting the yield. The principal fellings are all for sale, 

 and since the commune actually needs all its resources, it also desires that no reserve 

 should be made, but that the whole yield should be auctioned each year. This request 

 does not seem to be contrary to the spirit of the law and we believe it is correct. If 

 the principal yield were entirely reserved each year the commune would ask for an 

 emergency felling and the result would be the same. 



B. AREA FELLINGS 



The improvement cuttings, because of the necessity for special firewood allowances, 

 will form two distinct felling areas, each located at the nearest hamlet. The cutting 

 will then be worked in two lots : 



The first for special firewood allowances ... in compartments H, I, K, L, and 

 M (average area 2.18 hectares). The second for special firewood allowances . . . 

 in the compartments C, D, E, F, and G (average area 0.57 hectare). However, since 

 this second lot is so small it will only be worked every two years and its area will be 

 1.14 hectares. 



A. FELLINGS BY VOLUME 



Art. 6. Location of fellings for the first period, 1911-1926. The selection 

 fellings will be marked one after another and will cut over the compartments alpha- 

 betically. No division will be left until it has been entirely cut over. 



The following table gives for each compartment the estimated yield. Since the 

 windfalls which may take place during the period must be counted (against the yield) 

 it is recommended especially at the start to keep well below the (yield) figures given: 



* In realizing each year 1.62 per cent of the total stand there will be cut during the 

 period 16 X 1.62 = 26 per cent. This is the average per cent cut. We have varied 

 it for each compartment in accordance with the cultural requirements. 



B. FELLINGS BY AREA 



The table which follows shows the sequence and size of improvement f ellings to mark 

 each and every year in the first class of fellings and every two years in the second. 

 The areas are somewhat unequal from one year to another; to assure an approximately 

 sustained yield so far as practicable it was necessary to allot felling areas universely 

 proportional to the abundance of broad-leaved trees in each of them, dividing up the com- 

 partments, however, as little as possible.
