northerly direction for a distance of 140 yards. The reproduction is 

 evenly distributed in an open stand, which would prohably be dense if it 

 were not for the repeated cuttings. 



PLOT #S.This plot is located due east of plot one, on a steep 

 slope with a northwest exposure. The principal stand of reproduction is 

 west and down the hill from the seed trees, and extends for a distance of 

 ISO yards, The dense stand is within the first 50 yards, and then it 

 grades into medium add then open formation. Seed has been distributed 

 toward the north for a distance of over 180 yards. In this direction 

 the land is occupied by brush and young hardwoods and the chance of 

 seedlings becoming established has been poor. 



PLOT #3. This plot of reproduction is situated on the nocfch 

 slope of Turkey Hill and the seed all evidently came from a single 

 tree 200 yards from the top of the hdl^'/^^.The seeding has been up the 

 hill in a southerly direction and reaches the summit in a medium to 

 open stand, 



PREVAILING WINDS DDEIITG SEPTEMBER , 'OCTOBER, AITD ITOVEIffiER. 



Records of the \7inds prior to 1900 are unavailable, but the 

 following table, will show the conditions since that time. It will show that 

 the winds in this locality, during the periods of seed distribution are 

 very variable, and that if the land were perfectly level and the trees 

 were in the open we should find the seed distributed around the tree in 

 every direct ion, but principally toward the northwest and southeast. In 

 this study we have found reproduction in almost every direction from 

 the seed trees, but always in a location suitable for its establishment. 

 In every case, however we found the reproduction more in one direction 

 than in the others. This may be explained in one of two ways; either the 

 conditions were more favorable for the establishment of seedlings in 

 that direction than in the others, or the topography of the land cut off
