FOREST REGULATION 

 "CROPS" STARTED 1914. 



Since this same sheet is used for all four years of the life of these 

 "crops", it should provide ample space. With the old method of 

 about 200 acres per crop of 10,000 boxes and about 4000 acres for 

 one still, the plans for even a large property (50,000 acres) would 

 not be many. The detail plan keeps the situation clearly before the 

 forester, it shows the execution of the general plan, and furnishes 

 a record of work and results. Where the resin is sold on the stump 

 the matter of detail plans is more complicated, and may well follow 

 the plans suggested under timber sales. 



6. Detail Plan of Planting and Nursery Work. 



This is commonly a plan for several years (5), and in most 

 cases it is convenient to keep separate the planting, nursery work and 

 gathering of seed, if such is done. 



a. The Planting Plan, whatever the method (seeding or plant- 

 ing) tabulates or lists lands to be covered, the method used, esti- 

 mated cost and actual cost per acre and total. 



b. The Nursery Plan, preferably a yearly affair, states the 

 amount and condition of stock on hand, number of beds to be started 

 and transplants to establish in order to supply the demands set by 

 the forest (for planting, etc.). 



It enumerates changes in area, and equipment, if any, and the 

 estimated cost of material and labor for the year. 



c. Seed Gathering is not a yearly affair except with very large 

 forest owners (state, national forests V It comes with seed years, 

 (every 3-5 years) and then calls for special efforts and with this 

 for special plans. Usually seed is bought (in the cone, etc.) from
