REPORT OF THE 



The increasing difference between the diameter at breastheight, at 

 the cutting point, and at the top of the root swelHng, is explained by the 

 fact that on the larger trees the swelling of the roots reaches higher, and 

 consequently increases the diameter at the top of the root swelling in com- 

 parison with the diameter breasthigh. Thus, the larger the tree the greater 

 the taper from the top of the root swelling to breastheight. For a discus- 

 sion of the cutting point see page 225. The same general proportion shown 

 by this table applies to Balsam and Pine. 



The following table shows the stand of Spruce to 12 inches. Balsam 

 to 10 inches, and Pine to 14 inches, breasthigh, with the totals for the 

 merchantable area in the several compartments. It must be borne in mind 

 that Pine Land is not distinct from Spruce Land and Swamp, but is that 

 part of them in which Pine forms any considerable portion of the growth:
