A further study of the data reveals the fact that the form of 

 trees studied is not good. The clear bole is not as long as it should 

 be and the taper is too great. In all probability the failure of 

 the trees to develop a clean bole is largely due to the fact that the 

 land is not carrying its full load of trees in consequence of which 

 the branches have not been naturally pruned. It is possible, also, 

 that in some limited areas this condition has arisen from the fact 

 that the soil was not strong enough to carry a sufficient number of 

 trees to insure good form. 



This condition is shown by the following tables of species cov- 

 ering length of clear bole, height to main branch and total height.
