MARKING AND CUTTING. 



When the sale of any green timber is assured the supervisor 

 will order the marking of all trees to be cut. This is imperative. 

 Where only dead timber is purchased and there is no danger that 

 living timber will be cut the forest officer may, instead of marking 

 every tree, blaze and mark the boundary of the cutting area and 

 instruct the purchaser in the manner of cutting. 



Standing timber must be marked " U. S." near the ground, so 

 that every stump will show the mark. Where snow may con- 

 ceal the marking from the cutters, each tree must also be marked 

 at a point several feet from the ground.
