APPENDIX I 



GERMAN COMMENT ON FRENCH FORESTRY 



Dr. Martin, of Tharandt, with a party of German foresters, made a critical study of 

 French forest conditions in 1900 and reported upon them in 1906. This technical 

 critique and appreciation of French methods is of unique value to a student of forestry 

 in France. It is, therefore, reproduced as a reference, to represent the best German 

 views on French methods. The 1878 statistics, now out of date, cited by Martin, 

 have been omitted, as have his generalities on French forest trees. 



MANAGEMENT OF THE OAK UNDER THE HIGH FOREST SYSTEM i 



Occurrence and Growth. — In order that we might obtain an idea of the oak high 

 forest we were shown several large forests in the catchment area of the Loire, the forests 

 of Bell^me, Berc6, and Blois which serve as representative examples of the French 

 system of oak culture. The first-mentioned ranges (Reviere) have the character of a 

 pure oak forest with only here and there a greater or lesser intermixture of beech; 

 while in the forests of Blois entire stands occur which have been converted from coppice 

 with standards and coppice stands.
