Table 6. Lump Sum Sales 



Product Measurement 



An owner may receive payment for his forest products on the basis of 

 measurement or count, or upon agreement on a price for the total un- 

 measured lot already referred to as lump sum. 



There are several points in the flow of products from woods to mill 

 at which measurement or count can be made. Also, the actual volume de- 

 termination can be made by seller or buyer. 



The present study showed 17 lump sum sales. There were two cases 

 where the buyer measured the product in the woods. The buyer measured 

 13 at the roadside. In 22 cases the owner's measurement was accepted upon 

 delivery, while the buyer measured the product when delivered in 26 in- 

 stances. Eighteen sales were made with measurement at the mill at the 

 time of manufacture.
