 ] 2( » Years. 



The yield for the next ten years having been fixed, the forester 

 decides where it is to be cut. He selects in the first place all 

 sylvicultural necessities, such as severance cuttings, the removal 

 of shelter trees over young regeneration ; next he adds all woods 

 which are poor in increment, especially those which have suffered 

 from natural phenomena ; finally he makes up the total yield by 

 adding the oldest woods, with due consideration of a proper distri- 

 bution of the age classes over the area. In this way, the Special 

 Working Plan on the next two pages has been obtained. 



A detailed record of the w^ork done in each compartment is kept 

 (see page 396) ; from these data, and those on pages 392 — 393, 

 the Summary on pages 394 — 395 is prepared, w^hich compares the 

 provisions of the working plan with the actual results.
