6) Improvements; the boundary and division lines, the roads 

 and buildings, nursery, etc., are insi>ected and their condition briefly 

 noted and suggestions added. 



In rare cases, the division is not found satisfactory, and 

 occasionally parts of the boundary or division lines are re-run fo. 

 verification or correction. Where radical changes in the division 

 are indicated, the matter is first put on map with recommendations 

 and if approved, a change is made, new lines run and blazed, or, in 

 young stufif, at once cleared and opened. 



7) Outside Conditions, of market, labor, transportation are 

 not studied, ordinarily, by this man, but the office depends for this 

 kind of information on the local forester and his report. 



e) Compilation of the Information. The forester in charge 

 of this Working Plan work now has : 



1 ) Detail Description of every stand on the property, say about 

 250 sheets. 



2) Notes regarding improvements, roads, buildings, nursery, 

 etc., and possibly outside affairs affecting utilization. 



3) Information from former reports and plans. This informa- 

 tion is compiled into a brief general report, and then worked into a 

 Working Plan. These two. Report and Plan are not kept clearly 

 separated as a rule. 



I ) General Report. Here are repeated numerous items, long 

 known, and stated, or repeated in each plan for sake of complete- 

 ness and for use of persons at a distance, therefore not familiar with 

 this particular forest and its surroundings. 



Items here are ; name of forest or revier : area total ; area forest 

 land, waste land, area wooded, and bare; topography, climate, at 

 least special points of interest in growing timber : character of land, 

 soil, drainage ; market ; transportation ; labor ; difficulties in pro- 

 tection, etc. 



Then also improvements; divisions of the forests: this also 

 being shown on maps. 



Special attention is paid to Rotation and to the Sjiecies. Each 

 plan carefully considers whether the Species grown here are the 

 best suited to the land and to market, etc., and also whether any 

 particular Lot should or should not continue to be stocked with 

 the timber now on the ground, and whether the age of loo years is 

 the right age at which to cut the Spruce, etc.
