THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF WORKING PLANS 241 



5. Recommended limitations on the annual cut * for the 

 ensuing four or five years. 



6. Data on methods of logging, accessibility of merchantable 

 bodies of timber, costs of logging and manufacture, markets and 

 market conditions, demand, prices, etc. 



7. The policy for the whole forest, or divisions if advisable, 

 which should be followed as to sales, reservations for local 

 industries, and free use, together with the opportunities for 

 desirable sales. 



8. Tentative stumpage rates for the entire forest, or divi- 

 sions. 



9. Improvements needed to facilitate the sale or protection 

 of timber. (To be incorporated in the permanent improvement 

 plan.) 



10. The approximate areas on which artificial reforestation 

 will be necessary in whole or in part, together with the species, 

 to be used, and, broadly, the plan to be followed during the 

 ensuing four or five years, plans for nurseries, outline of desir- 

 able experiments, etc. 



11. The order in which the various parts of the forest should 

 be covered by complete reconnaissance, f desirable silvical 

 studies leading toward better management, etc. 



This part of the plan should be accompanied by a map 

 showing topography in as much detail as data available will 

 allow, roads, trails, forest t>"pes, age classes, if necessary, nur- 

 sery sites, and areas proposed for artificial regeneration. Much 

 of the other data called for may be shown either on the map or 

 in concise tabulation with explanatory notes. 



Under " Grazing " the essential point is to compile all avail- 

 able information on the range conditions in the forest as a basis 

 for systematic range protection, development, and improve- 

 ment. The following outline is intended only as a guide: 



I. Classification of grazing lands and estimates of carrying 

 capacity, including: 



* I.e., determination of the cut. 

 t I.e., forest surveys.
