  Sixteenth 
  Annual 
  Report 
  of 
  the 
  

  

  nated, 
  nevertheless 
  this 
  has 
  been 
  allowed 
  for 
  by 
  making 
  the 
  yield 
  

   per 
  acre 
  very 
  conservative. 
  A 
  table 
  of 
  this 
  sort 
  will 
  at 
  least 
  serve 
  

   the 
  purpose 
  of 
  indicating 
  the 
  approximate 
  amount 
  of 
  material 
  to 
  

   be 
  found 
  within 
  the 
  county. 
  The 
  figures 
  given 
  represent 
  the 
  

   writer's 
  idea 
  of 
  the 
  merchantable 
  contents 
  of 
  each 
  type 
  ; 
  for 
  saw 
  or 
  

   pulp 
  timber 
  in 
  all 
  types 
  except 
  in 
  poplar 
  where 
  cordwood 
  is 
  the 
  size 
  

   of 
  material 
  in 
  demand. 
  

  

  Concerning 
  the 
  fire 
  type 
  : 
  This 
  timber 
  is 
  deteriorating 
  so 
  rapidly 
  

   that 
  it 
  was 
  thought 
  best 
  to 
  leave 
  it 
  out 
  of 
  the 
  calculation. 
  In 
  thf 
  

   same 
  way, 
  the 
  contents 
  of 
  the 
  scattered 
  woodlots 
  in 
  the 
  farming 
  

   regions 
  were 
  omitted, 
  as 
  the 
  stand 
  would 
  be 
  extremely 
  difficult 
  1c 
  

   determine 
  in 
  the 
  first 
  place 
  and 
  chiefly 
  valuable 
  for 
  firewood

  DESCRIPTION 
  OF 
  TYPES 
  

  

  HARDWOODS 
  

  

  Under 
  this 
  head 
  come 
  the 
  northern 
  hardwoods, 
  both 
  virgin 
  and 
  

   second 
  growth 
  and 
  the 
  sprout 
  hardwoods. 
  The 
  dividing 
  line 
  be- 
  

   tween 
  these 
  sub-types 
  extends 
  from 
  Hadley 
  to 
  a 
  point 
  on 
  Lake 
  

   George 
  about 
  five 
  miles 
  above 
  Bolton 
  Landing. 
  

  

  Back 
  from 
  the 
  railroad 
  towns 
  and 
  manufacturing 
  centers, 
  the 
  

   virgin 
  forest 
  is 
  the 
  rule; 
  originating 
  from 
  seed; 
  canopy 
  practically 
  

   unbroken; 
  deep 
  litter 
  and 
  good 
  humus 
  conditions; 
  ground 
  cover
