JExample.—TJnAet tbe system of working in force- 

 Green standing trees may only be ont after marking and with the previoos 

 sanction of the Dirisional Officer. An exception to ibis rule is sometimes 

 made in the case of inferior species. 

 Fallen green trees may only be removed under the pass and mark of Foresters 



in charge of ranges or heats. 

 Bamboos may only be cot in specified areas and nnder permits issned hy 

 Ranc;e Officers, 

 Purchasers are allowed to enter the forests and to renoove the produce they 

 require on taking ont a pass at any of the revenue stations and on paying the dues 

 according to a fixed tariff. The general rnle is, however, subject to the following 

 restrictions : — 



That permission to work be obtained before tbe forest is entered, and that the 



forest rules be observed. 

 That cattle shall not be brouglit into the forests without the grazing due 



having first been paid or remain in the forests save at authorized cattle 



stations. 



Although there can be no doubt that more timber and firewood are produced over the 

 entire area than the quantity sold annually, it appears that, on the other hand, soma 

 of the more aocesiiblg, parts have been overworked, whilst large but less accessible 

 areas have remained untouched. The rules of working require to be revised so as to' 

 remedy this. 



{ii) Special works improvement.'— In most cases there will 

 be works of improvement or construction for the am 

 tion of the crop or for the extraction of produce, such as 

 sowings or plantings, timber slides, roads, or bridges ; and 

 occasionally special operations may be required, such as 

 drainage or irrigation works, barriers to prevent the erosion 

 of the banks of streams, and so forth. All these may be 

 described in this section in such detail as circumstances 

 require. 



In discussing cultural or other works of improvement 

 undertaken in past years attention should be drawn to 

 important results of experience so acquired. But if it is 

 necessary for the information of the local oflBcers to describe 

 these works in detail, this should be done in a special report 

 or in an appendix to the working-plan. 



Example. — It has been ascertained from the records that plantations of deodar, 

 walnut and ash have usually succeeded j while direct sowingrs have uniformly failed. 

 Even in the nurseries the genninating seedlings have survived with difficulty, but 

 once they are a few months old they h»ve given no trouble. The cost of planting out 

 from the nurseries has, on the average, amounted to BIO 'per acre, or, including 

 jiursery charges, to E18 per acre of established transpknts. 



{Hi) Fast revenue and expenditure. — Where the figures 

 are available, the average receipts and expenditure for the past 

 few years in connection with the whole area dealt with and, 

 if. possible, regarding each class of forest in this area, should 

 Ve given. If no separate accounts are available an estimate 

 may be made. The prices realised for the produce, exclusive 

 of cost of extraction and of establishment employed, should 

 as far as practicable, be stated. These prices should be
