80 FORKST REGULATION 



3. A proper forest organization can save expenses a, b & d, 

 and also prevent future losses by fire and avoidable timber deteriora- 

 tion (by prompt and well planned cutting). The loss by fire in the 

 three years (since present ownership began) have been small, but 

 may be expected in any dry year to mount up to $io,ooo-$2o,ooo in 

 a single year. The loss by deterioration and unused land is great 

 and amounts to more than the entire expense of a forest 

 organization. 



Notes with regard to the foregoing Sample Report. 



1. There is no effort at exact Age Classes. This seemed un- 

 necessary since the field data in this forest, especially the Hardwood 

 type make the Age Class work largely a rough estimate or a matter 

 of mere size. 



2. Matters of Improvement and Business were left out, and 

 the subjects of Volume and Yield Tables merely indicated. 



3. Similarly the nature of the case prevented many kinds of 

 interesting forest affairs and conditions from appearing here, not- 

 ably : Turpentine Industry as it exists in the South ; Grazing as 

 practiced and important in the West ; Fish and Game affairs as they 

 exist in Europe and also in some of our Eastern forest properties. 

 The manner of treatment of these may be inferred from the fore- 

 going ; the principles are the same ; each is treated in its relation to 

 the Business (Income arid Expense), Utilization and assurance of 

 future supply, including its effect on Silviculture and especially 

 Protection.
