The future possibilities of forest management in Finland are shown 

 with great clearness in a calculation touching the yield of the fertile 

 forest lands of the Administrative Districts of Kuopio, Mikkeli 

 (St. Michel) and Viipuri (Viborg). Assuming rational care of the fo- 

 rests, and that each forest-type contained the species of tree best 

 suited to it, and further, that the proportion of age-classes andgrowth r 

 and in consequence also the growing stock, were fairly normal, 

 the permanent annual yield would be somewhere about 21.9 

 million cubic metres, while in the present condition of the forests 

 it is only slightly over one half of this amount, or about 11.6 million 

 cubic metres. 



Forest Management Areas. 



The importance of forest management in the various parts of the 

 country is decisively affected not only by the natural conditions of 

 the locality, but also by their situation with regards to communica- 

 tions, before all, by their nearness to the waterways. In drawing up 

 the following forest management areas, attention has been paid mainly
