ARTIFICIAL REPRODUCTION. 163 



the crop. Much could be done to enrich scrub coppice of the 

 Central India type by increasing the admixture of teak artificially. 

 Far too little attention has been paid in many places to this 

 question of artificial regeneration in coppice working circles. It 

 has been the custom to cut the coppice and leave the new crop to 

 grow up as best it could without tending and without any attempt 

 to complete and enrich the stocking. This artificial work is best 

 done the year after the fellings which allows plenty of time for 

 the soil preparation and the satisfactory organisation of the whole 

 work when the extent of coppice failure is quite clear. 



For convenience of administration and control a table of Table of 

 .fellings showing year by year the different operations to be carried 

 out each coupe should be prepared and given in the working plan. 

 An example of such a table will be found in the following 

 chapter.
