AsBRid before, the seed forest I more cr.pitr.l. In coppice 

 you or-ri gt do'vn to : alf-aore, Seed forest gives a larger net income 

 per acre por yo? r, by <_;ifciritj us better timber. 



vantages: It is claimed that the seed forest makes a smaller 

 interest on the iiive, . Va soon ao the property pays a net income, up 

 goes the land value, i-'ine ia usually land on R net income--the hi t >jher 

 the net income Lhe higher the cost. The human element enters independent- 

 ly. 



The t?<:9<l forest produces rnorw readily salable material than cop- 

 pice, and a raupj ; -v Her amount of c.-teap unmerchantable goods. It require;

. As a \vholo, the aeeu forest is more important and valuable 

 than the c- c^-n be; it supplies the marJcet "better; it can supply 

 materials 'vhich coppice cannot; it affords more labor and gives a chance 

 for mo:;.; invr it of capital; it touilus up a big property per acre. The 



te forepti- uf 3-iden ond. Saxony could not be "bought at v l.;?0 per acre. 

 If they -o triea to put in coppice, a largo portion would have become 

 valuelese. The sesd forest builds up a property worth 6 times as much as 

 coppice . 



JiL-at is gener^Ii.y more stable ^,s a forest propoerty--it 



receive B care even from private individuals; it is more important as 

 v;at. protection; todiy it utilizes large areas of non-agricultural 



land vharc- cj;;ice would be of r'.uci; less vyl - . 



oecial crisea of usefulness are not comparable. Grazing 

 co-vr-ice acre but coppice will stand more abuse, than seed forest.
