"^The General Working Scheme once drawn up, it is advisable 

 to detail tlie reasons justifying it and to decribe the spirit in 

 twhich it has been conceived with reference to the Organisation 

 Project. It is useful to discuss all its essential points, to show why 

 tt has been preferred to every other, to explain the main idea on 

 which its lines have been fixed. 



The chapter in which these points are discussed should be 

 Worded in plain, sober language, free from all preconceived bias. 

 It ought to bring out into clear prominence all facts special to the 

 Working Circle and show what improvements are necessary or 

 feasible. It should explain to what extent the Working Scheme has 

 taken account of the conditions of exploitability, the Rules for 

 locating coupes, and the necessity of a sustained yield, pointing out 

 where one or more of these limiting conditions acqnire greater 

 importance than all tlie reSt. It should state the reason for, ancj 

 the object of, the various cultural operations that have ta be 

 successively executed throughout the whole Working 'Circle with 

 a view to its improvement, as well as the agency and means by 

 which these operations should be carried out. 



SECTION 3, 



Special Scheme of Exploitations. 



At the beginning of the First Period, as well as of every subse>- 

 quent Period, the exploitations of all kinds to be made in th& 

 Working Circle during that Period are determined upon beforehand 

 and exhibited in what we shall call the Special Scheme of Ex- 

 ploitations for that particular Period* This Scheme sh&uld show 

 the work to be done compartment by compartment, and should 

 remain within the broad lines sketched out by the General Work- 

 ing Scheme. Thus, to take an instance, in a regular Working^ 

 Circle the exploitations made during the First Period would be, 

 for the First Block Regeneration Fellings with yield based on 

 volume, for the intermediate Blocks Periodical ThiBoinga based on 

 area, and for the last Block, coataining all the youngest crops. 

 Cleanings and the First Thinning. 



all 



The Special Scheme of Exploitations should prescribe first of 

 the nature of the fellings to be made in each compartment.
