CHAPTER VII. 

 METHOD OF TREATMENT. 



Object sought to be attained. 30. The objects SOUght are 



(1) To obtain as quickly and as simply as possible a well-stocked forest 



of good growth from seed and stool. 



(2) To increase the density of the present poorly stocked forests. It is 



also desired to protect the forests from the injuries they have been 

 hitherto exposed to. 



(3) To supply all local requirements of the agricultural population and 



teak poles to Kamptee traders. 



31. The method of improvement fellings of varying intensity to suit local 

 conditions and the demand has been adopted as that most 

 suitable for Working Circles I and II. The reasons for its 

 adoption^are 



(a) The bad character of the crop. 



(b) The present limited demand for produce. 



All compartments of these circles shall be protected from cattle for 10 years 

 after being felled over and shall be permanently protected from fire. 



Circle III, as above-mentioned, will be subjected to close protection from 

 fire, cattle and green timber and fuel fellings for the full working period, but will 

 be open for the removal of dry fuel, grass and minor forest produce. 



Circle No. IV will be open throughout the rotation for grazing and for the 

 removal of dry fuel, grass and minor forest produce and for the few unregulated 

 fellings it may be necessary to allow for the supply of certain scattered villages 

 as noted in para. 24. Partial protection from fire should be extended to this 

 circle at the discretion of the Forest Divisional Officer.

obtained, it would appear that we are justineci in cbum<iiiiig a^^^^^ ~ 



over the above areas of 13 poles per acre, or a total estimated outturn of 20,345 

 poles. 



It is also estimated that two tons of green fuel per acre could be obtained 

 in the event of a demand arising for this produce or a total outturn of 3, 1 30 tons 

 annually.
