This equals a yearly payment on the 3^ per cent. 

 tables of:

 1736 



full rental throughout the whole rotation. 



This equals an average rental, for the land only, of : 



45. 2d. - 2s. id. 



= 2s. id. per acre 



land rental throughout the whole rotation. 



But at the /oth year, when the Oak are removed, the 

 result will be as follows : 



Accumulated value of timber .... ^85 10 o 

 Less, cost of planting ..... 300 



Therefore, net credit sum = ^82 10 o 



This equals a full rental on the 3^ per cent, tables of 

 55. Sd. per acre. 



But the planting cost 3 an acre, and 3j per cent, on 

 this outlay equals 2s. id., so that the land rental shown 

 will be : 



55. 8d. - 2s. id. 



= 3s. 7d. per annum for the first 70 years.

 of 2, 2s. icd. 



Now, 3^ per cent, on the debit capital of 85, los. equals 

 2, 193. rod.
