S06 SUSTAINED YIELD IN CONVEESION ORGANISATIONS, 



work the Organisation Project is, have been guided throughout 

 by the necessary spirit of economy. la former times, before the 

 Block of standards was exhausted in the last century by the Bene- 

 dictine proprietors of the forest, the exploitations yielded dG9,400 

 annually. Now they will yield only =£"6,000 for the first few 

 years ; but this figure will go on increasing from year to year, 

 from Period to Period, for the next two centuries, if the present 

 respect for growing stock is perpetuated. The state of things was 

 such that there was no choice left except between certain ruin on 

 the one hand and uncompromising, but eventually fruitful, economy 

 on the other. The Amdnagistes chose without hesitation the 

 better part. It is by work such as the organisation of this forest 

 that our Department covers itself with honour, just as it is by 

 labour and frugality that a nation amasses its wealth.
