TABLE WITH SITE CLASSES BASED ON HEIGHT GROWTH 403 



60 feet, following the suggestion of Roth as an example of class C in 

 height classification (Table LV, § 296), and with these guiding 

 points the curves limiting the three classes were drawn by Baur's 

 method. 



6. The yield of all plots in a single site class are then plotted on 

 cross-section paper whose base or horizontal scale is age, and whose 

 vertical scale is volume. From these data, a curve of average yield

based on age may be drawn from which the yields for the site class 

 for each decade or five-year period are read. A separate curve is plotted 

 for each site class. The jdeld table finally shows the average yields 

 based on age for each separate site class.
