Fig. 1.— Single Seed-Tree Method of Cutting Employed Early in the French 



Gulch Sale. 



Much windfall resulted, and many trees died of sun scald when exposed to full light. Most 

 of the windthrown trees had been utilized before the picture was taken.

 show increased growth. This thinning was somewhat heavier than those now being 

 made in selection cuttings, but shows very little windfall.
