COST TABLES. 



. To facilitate calculations of the cost of growing timber, the following 

 tables, which show the charges for land and stocking, taxes and protection 

 by decades from thirty to one hundred years, at various rates, have been 

 prepared. The amounts for the several items are identical with those given 

 for the corresponding items in Tables 1 to 6 of the text, except that in the 

 latter tables the value of the bare land, assumed to be $3 per acre, is 

 deducted from the totals, since the land remains an asset at the end of the 

 operation. For strict calculations, therefore, the value of the land after 

 cutting takes place should be deducted from the totals for land and stocking 

 shown below :

TAXES.* 



* If it is desired to compute the taxes at some rate not given above, the amount may 

 be obtained by using either the figures given in the table for protection or by combining 

 them with those in this table. For example, the total tax at a rate of 19 cents for sixty 

 years at 3 percent is equivalent to the total tax at 4 cents ($6.52 in the protection table) 

 plus the total tax at 15 cents ($24.46 in the tax table), or $30.98.
