If a similar Tabular Statement with regard to the crops to be 

 exploited during the Second Period ia drawn up, it will be seen that 

 their exploitation will have been greatly facilitated by the work 

 done during the First Period. It will be found possible, in the next 

 Special Scheme of Exploitations, to arrange for exploiting with a 

 eparing hand those crops and individual trees, respecting the good 

 growth and promise of which there can then be no doubt. It is 

 quite possible that compartments A and B, with their mature 

 standards only gradually cut out, could be maintained standing until 

 the Fourth Period, and that compartment S could be transformed 

 in as happy a n»anner by means of judicious Thinnings, so as not to 

 require, contrary to present expectation, any partial regeneration 

 in view of the beech during the Second Period. 



The student will now understand that it is easy to obtain some 

 previous idea of the extent to which a sustained yield can be 

 assured for each of the Periods of a Rotation, and especially for the 

 first two or three. He will be able to note how the various crops 

 of a Working Circle are regenerated by seed one by one, each in its 

 turn, either during the Period to which it is assigned in the Gene- 

 ral Working Scheme or during the immediately precedino- or 

 immediately following Period. He will observe how, when the 

 position of each compartment in the General Working Scheme is 

 known, the object of every operation to be carried out becomes 

 ■clear and well defined. Lastly, he will perceive how the General 

 Working Scheme, although sketchy, yet absolutely necessary at the 

 commencement of the every Organisation Project, becomes better 

 and better defined as Period after Period passes, until it entirely 

 loses its artificial character, and forms with the actual state of the 

 foreat a harmonious and natural whole.

Necessary Results. 



The Method of Organisation by Area is as simple as any that 

 «am be applied to high forests. In it the Organisation Project 

 consists of two essential parts ; (I) the General Working Scheme, 

 which has a permanent character on the ground itself and may 

 be indefinitely maintained unchanged ; (II) the Special Scheme 

 <*f Exploitations, which arranges and prescribes the operation to
