GROWTH OF STAND VOLUMi:, 



Tables and Diagrams give the results 



found for the volume of the stand. The average 

 volume per acre is shomi to be 33.5 cords or an 

 average mean annual increment ,in Tables and 



Diagram ,of .91 cords or 3.86^. This gives the 

 excellent yield of almost a cord per acre per year 

 for second growth hardwoods, at 35 to 30 years* 



From a comparison of Diagrams and 



the general statemei^t may be formulated, that the 

 volume of a staoad is in direct proportion to the 

 basal area, which is indicative of density of 

 stocking.
