the boards which can be sawed from such trees are narrow, they 

 are comparatively free from knots and will justify grading if 

 handled in connection with the wider boards from the larger trees. 

 Trees of the same size in younger stands are more tapering and 

 more knotty, and the lumber is of lower grade. 



Air-dried lumber of the different grades, consisting of mix- 

 ed width, but less than 12 inches wide, is quoted (November, 1912) 

 at the following prices per 1,000 board feet, delivered at Norfolk, 

 Eichmond, Petersburg, Lynchburg, and Roanoke: No. 1, $26; 

 No. 2, $24; No. 3, $20; Box, $18; Eed heart and cull, $16; Bark 

 strip, Nos. 1 & 2, $20; Bark strip, box $12. In Table 16 these 

 values have been applied to the amount of different diameters 

 delivered at Norfolk and the other points named above. 



TABLE 16. 



Value delivered at Norfolk, Richmond, Petersburg Roanoke, and Lynchburg, of the 

 graded lumber cut from trees of different diameters and heights* grouing in crowded 

 second-growth stands 45 to 60 years old and the value of single trees and their stump- 

 age per 1,000 board feet under different costs of sawing and delivery at thtse points. 



*Height which are given in table 15. 



tpbtalned by deducting the cost ofsawing and delivery per 1,000 board feet from the de- 

 livered value per 1,000 board feet, reducing the remainder to the value of one board foot 

 and multiplying by the number of board feet per tree as ehown in table 15; thus, $15.95 

 less 810.00 equal to $5.95 15.95 divided by 10JO and multiplied by 22 is equal to $.13. 



In table 15 the expenses of sawing and delivery, $10; $12; 

 and $14 per 1,000 board feet are supposed to represent a low,
