3. A proper forest organization can save expenses a, h & d, 

 and also prevent future losses by fire and avoidable timber deteriora- 

 tion (by prompt and well planned cutting). The loss by fire in the 

 three years (since present ownership began) have been small, but 

 may be expected in any dry }'ear to mount up to $io,ooo-$20,ooo in 

 a single year. The loss by deterioration and unused land is great 

 and amounts to more than the entire expense of a forest 

 organization. 



Notes with regard to the foregoing Sample Report. 



I. There is no effort at exact Age Classes. This seemed un- 

 necessary since the field data in this forest, especially the Hardwood 

 type make the Age Class work largely a rough estimate or a matter 

 of mere size. 



>. -Matters of Improvement and Business were left out, and 

 the subjects of \'olume and Yield Tables merely indicated. 



3. Similarly the nature of the case ])revented many kinds of 

 interesting forest affairs and conditions from appearing here, not- 

 ably : Turpentine Industry as it exists in the South ; Grazing as 

 practiced and important in the West ; Fish and Game affairs as they 

 exist in Europe and also in some of our Eastern forest properties. 

 The manner of treatment of these may be inferred from the fore- 

 going ; the principles are the same ; each is treated in its relation to 

 the Business (Income and Expense), I'tilization and assurance of 

 future supply, including its effect on Silviculture and especially 

 Protection.
