When the woodlot consists of only two or three species and it is not 

 necessary or practicable to grade the logs, a more compact form of 

 recording is possible as indicated below, which largely does away with 

 the second operation of totaling. Where the owner Imows that two or 

 more of the species have closely similar values, they may be grouped 

 together; but the general proportion of each should be kept in mind, 

 since in bargaining it may happen that other prices will be offered than 

 those which the owner contemplates. 



A rough estimate of the cordwood contents of woodlots can be ob- 

 tained by tallying the number of trees of each diameter and dividing by 

 the number of trees per cord shown for different diameters in the follow- 

 ing table. The table is compiled from existing tables for northern hard- 

 wood trees, but will apply roughly to softwoods as well : 



•Compiled by G. N. Lamb, from various tables for forest grown northern hardwood trees.
