land rental on the 4 per cent tables. 



On the 3j per cent, tables, the rental yielded, for the land 

 only, would be I2s. gd. per acre per annum. 



These rentals for the land only, when under coppice 

 with standards, may be more clearly seen from the following 

 tabular statement : 



Now, these results compare very favourably with the 

 rentals for pure crops of Oak, or Larch, or Ash, when grown 

 under even-aged high forest, viz. : 



Hence, it is evident that the cultivation of Oak, Larch, or 

 Ash, as standards 1 over coppice is far more remunerative 



1 Owing to the prevalence of Larch Disease, it is almost imperative, 

 unless great risks are to be incurred, to abandon the cultivation of pure 

 Larch (European) in close-canopied high forest. Its success, as 

 standards over coppice, is far more assured.
