200 THE ROTATION. 



(2.) in thinly populated districts, where prices ojenerally 

 rule low for small dimensions, while large timl)er can 

 be exported to other better paying markets.

The length of tlie financial rotation, as obtained by a first 

 calculation, is subject to correction, because it is based upon 

 certain rates obtainable for the various classes of produce, 

 whereas a change in the actual rotation may alter those rates. 

 If, for instance, the calculated financial rotation is lower than 

 that actually existing and the former is introduced, more 

 small and less large timber will be produced ; also the pro- 

 portion between timber and firewood will be altered. This 

 may produce a fall in the average price of produce. The 

 reverse effect would be produced, if tbe calculated financial 

 rotation were higher than the one actually existing. In either 

 case it must be taken into consideration, that a change in the 

 rotation is accompanied by a change in the growing stock, 

 and that either more or less material is l)rought into the 

 market, at any rate for a number of years. 



It follows, that the first calculation is generally subject to 

 some correction in accordance with the alteration of prices, 

 which may be produced by a change in the rotation. 



(i. T))h'odiiftion of ilie Financial Jlotalion. 

 Although every deviation from the financial rotation is 

 accompanied by a financial loss, yet it is very desirable, that, 

 if it has been decided to introduce that rotation, tbis should be 

 done with great caution, because, in the first place, it can only 

 be determined approximately, and, secondly, its introduction is 

 accompanied by a change in the existing growing stock. If a 

 true, or assumed, surplus of growing stock has been disposed 

 of, it would take much time to re-establish it, should further 

 experience indicate a higher rotation than that originally 

 calculated. Hence, it is desirable to keep always somewhat 

 above the theoretical financial rotation.
