TABLE XXXIL — CORDWOOD CONVERTING FACTORS.i 



Converting factors for second-growth hardwoods, by D.B.H. classes, 

 with corresponding diameters of the average four-foot stick in the tree or 

 in the stack. With the aid of this table the volume in cords of single trees 

 can be secured by dividing the volumes in cubic feet given in tables XXI, 

 XXV and XXIX by the "cubic feet per cord " values given in this table 

 for a tree of the same diameter, breast high. If it is desired to convert the 

 contents in cubic feet of an entire stand into cords, the average diameter, 

 breast high, of all the trees in the stand should be found, and the " cubic 

 feet per cord " value corresponding to this diameter should be used. 



While these converting factors are intended especially for chestnut and 

 oaks they can be used safely with other hardwoods.
