WORKING PLAN CONTROL. 



"ORKINGr plans are of no use unless they are adhered to and 

 proper adherence can only be secured by an effective control. 

 This control should be devoted to an examination of the works 

 actually prescribed and carried out and to the control of the actual 

 compared with the calculated yield. At all costs should the elabora- 

 tion of control forms into accounts forms be avoided and the system 

 of control should be simple and effective. 



Apart from a statement showing the actual fellings made in 

 every compartment and a comparison of such fellings, whether by 

 area or by volume, with those prescribed ; it is essential that 

 continuity of management should be maintained more especially 

 in the case of areas under regeneration. 



Control as adopted in the United Provinces consists of three 

 distinct records 



(1) The control forms. 



(2) The compartment history. 



(3) The divisional note book. 



The control forms consist of one or more specially prepared 

 control forms showing the prescriptions of the plan and the fellings 

 actually made from year to year. These entries are made conse- 

 cutively, so that the results from the commencement of the pl'an 

 are at once apparent. The exact nature of the forms varies 

 slightly to meet the conveniences of different modes of work and 

 the exact nature of the entries to be made is given in detail in the 

 working plan in the chapter devoted to control. In working circles 

 with a volume regulation of the yield the same diameter classes 

 and the same volume figures are used both for the calculation of
