individual pieces. Table 11 shows the prices now in effect in lodge- 

 pole sales similar to those on the Deerlodge Forest. The Govern- 

 ment obtains practically the same total return on all classes of 

 material cut annually. The lower prices on smaller-sized material 

 tend to encourage thinnings, while the higher prices for the larger 

 timber offset the decreased returns from the former.

Lower stumpage prices than those shown are often received for 

 lodgepole-pine timber in many places where only small quantities 

 are required for local use. In Montana the minimum price is approxi- 

 mately $2.50 per thousand board feet. The price of lodgepole-pine 

 stumpage in Forest Service timber sales ranges between this figure 

 and $4.50 per thousand. On State and private lands the average 

 prices are about the same, though in some cases the minimum may 

 be lower than on the National Forests.
