 300 years old. 



In Dismal Swamp, near Metuchen, are trees which will square 

 •6 inches 60 feet from the ground, and a white oak recently cut 

 measured 8 inches- in diameter 75 feet from the ground, and 

 another 16 inches in diameter 56 feet from the ground, and a 

 hickory 6 inches in diameter 70 feet from the ground. A tree 

 cut at Burnt Mills, on the North Branch of the Raritan, yielded 

 1,066 feet, board measure, of lumber. 



RELATIVE PRODUCTIVENESS OF TOPOGRAPHIC DIVISIONS. 



These notes are roughly an indication of the capability of 

 New Jersey's soils for timber production. So far as may be 

 judged from our notes and observations, the best soils of all of 

 the topographic divisions of the State will produce heavy timber, 

 but there is a difference in the average productiveness of the 

 several sections. The Kittatinny valley, the several small val-
