Remarks, 



Table 9 

 for thinning 

 ■wood-:. 



It is difficult in thinning plantations, Xo leave the trees at ^\ 

 nearly equal distances. The distances stated in all these 

 tables must be considered the average distances. If, for in- 

 stance, there be 302 trees on an acre, their average distance 

 V. ill be 12 feet, although few of them may stand at exactly 

 that distance. 



If the trees be first planted 4 feet apart, and be periodi- 

 cally thinned out to the distance of one fourth of their 

 height until they are 28 feet high, and to one third of their 

 height afterward, and they increase 12 inches in height and 

 1 in circumference annually, the number of trees on an acre, 

 and the number to be cut out at the ages and heights under- 

 mentioned, and the number of feet they will then respec- 

 tively contain in the bole, when measured to the top of the 

 leading shoot, will be as under, viz.
