214 FOREST REGULATION 



This book combines Mensuration and Regulation, devoting 

 practically equal amount of space to each. 



In the introduction the Author explains the task of Regulation 

 and the Normal Forest, defining" Regulation about as follows : 



"Forest Regulation attempts to bring and to maintain order in 

 the management of a forest ; it regulates particularly the manner 

 and time of cutting the different stands of a forest ; it plans to 

 restock the land with new stands of trees ; and it determines the 

 amount of timber which may be cut each year without diminishing 

 the Wood Capital or endangering the continuance of such a cut for 

 the future." 



He adds : "The provisions of forest regulation are not em- 

 ployed for individual stands of timber, cut at intervals of many 

 years, but apply to forests where a yearly cut of timber is possible 

 and demanded."
