Species to be Limbered. 



Spruce, Balsam, and Pine. 



While estimates have been given for eight species, it is advised that 

 lumbering should be restricted for the present to Spruce, Balsam, and Pine. 

 As has been stated under " Future Stand of Spruce," the diameter limit to 

 which the Spruce should be cut, under the present plan, has been fixed at 

 12 inches breasthigh. 



In Table No. 7 the stand of Balsam has been given for trees 10 inches 

 and over in diameter breasthigh, and in Table No. 8 for trees 6 to 9 inches 

 breasthigh. The stand to 10 inches is 16.4,'?! of the total stand of Spruce 

 to 12 inches. Since in lumbering it is customary to put in 15^ of Balsam 

 with the Spruce, it would reach this amount for the whole tract if cut to 

 10 inches only. Should it be possible, however, to lumber more Balsam 

 than is necessary to make i^'/t of the Spruce, the total merchantable stand 

 might be taken, except in those few localities designated by the inspector 

 where the local conditions require that clean cutting should not be done. 

 Balsam being one of the inferior trees, the condition of the forest would 

 be rather improved than injured by its removal, since more room would 

 be made for the more valuable species. 



As is shown in the preceding tables, the first growth White Pine on 

 Township 40 is mostly mature, almost all the trees being of large size. 

 These pines should be lumbered except within the reserved belt along the 

 banks of the lakes and rivers. A 14-inch diameter limit is recommended 

 because trees of this size are merchantable and should come out, and
