1 From Bulletin 86 of the Forest Service, by Carlos G. Bates. 



Note. — The following conclusions were drawn from the above table: (1) Highest financial returns in 

 25 years. (2) Ash posts of best quality only at much trrc:\tcr aye. (3) Bes1 prists with closest spacing; 

 without this, trees crooked, branchy, and"knotty. (4) Should not bo planted on dry sites, as the 

 growth is too retarded.
