Fig. 4. Good Lumber is Still Available in New Hampshire and 



More Can be Grown 



Section C. Some attempt will be made to determine whether or 

 not there exist in the State of New Hampshire races or strains of white 

 pine capable of extremely rapid height or diameter growth, or of produc- 

 ing narrow crowns, or with branches of unusually small size. 



Stands throughout the state will be compared as to their growth 

 habits, and seed to be planted on experimental plots in the University 

 forest will be gathered from promising sources. 



Section D. This section has not yet been thoroughly organized, 

 but it will be concerned with the relation between the quality of the 

 site, the stocking, or number of trees per acre, the diameter and height 

 growth, and the quantity and quality of lumber produced. Up to date 

 this section has merely been set up as a part of the main project. 



Section E. Grouped under this section will be those problems con- 

 nected with the measurement of white pine logs, trees, and stands; the 

 preparation of volume tables, taper tables, and yield tables; the grading 

 of logs. 



Section F. The objective here is to compare the results obtained by 

 various silvicultural systems, and, if possible, to develop a system by 

 which white pine should be cut in order to secure satisfactory natural 

 reproduction. 



Section G. This section will be composed of studies connected 

 with the utilization of white pine; the strength, weight, and hardness of 

 the wood; logging practices and costs; milling and manufacturing methods 

 and costs; lumber grades; marketing problems; use of waste material; 

 by-products. 



In most cases the utilization of forest products has a pronounced 

 influence on the program of forest management, since the forester must
