Where the Age Classes and conditions generally are very irregu- 

 lar, as they sometimes are even in well managed forests, after insect- 

 calamities, etc., the stand table takes on a different form. It is more 

 comprehensive, takes in all the stands of the forest, or at least all 

 over 40 years, in the case here considered. The following sample 

 will illustrate this : 



Aiis'.A Allotment for Working Section No. 1. 

 Spruce, Rotatio.v 100 Years. 



Etc., etc., Etc. 



This table resembles the Table of Age Classes, but is amply 

 annotated with statements concerning the character of each stand 

 and directions for its treatment. It thus presents the conditions of 

 area and requirements of all the stands of the forest in a convenient 

 form, and facilitates the selection of stands for the next 20 years, 

 by indicating what may be expected here not only at the end of the 

 next 20 years but for the next 60 and more years, in fact, in the 

 above table for the entire 100 years to come. There is no thought of 

 making this allotment binding; it is merely to serve the purpose 

 above stated, and this table is re-constructed every 20 years in 

 keeping with the conditions which will then be found. When the 

 stands for the next 20 years are finally selected, they are worked over 

 once more and a Detail Plan of Cutting is prepared, which tabulates 

 the stands to be taken during the first 10 years. The following 

 illustrates this table :
