1. A city forest of 6,200 acres in Wurttemberg. Spruce and fir, with some pine. 

 Annual cut about 530,000 cubic feet. Forest officers (including office force), 8. 

 Permanent workers, 60, employed practically yearlong. These are mostly skilled 

 woodsmen and get about $2.40 a day (RM 6). The forest partially supports 60 to 

 70 small sawmills and other wood-using industries, besides considerable home 

 industry (hand work).
