MANAGEMENT PLANS THE NATIONAL FORESTS 29 



this may prove impracticable definite S-22 areas will be established, the 

 location to be approved by the forest supervisor before any sales are made. 



8. In sales too small to warrant the travel and time for scaling, volume will 

 be obtained, at the discretion of the forest supervisor, by tree measurement. 



9. Sales of isolated patches of timber not listed in the control budget are 

 permitted. Such sales must be approved by the forest supervisor. 



10. An unallotted area will be left in the cutting budget to permit such sales 

 as are mentioned in paragraphs 6, 7, and 9. When such sales are made the 

 unallotted area in the budget should be reduced accordingly. Units coming 

 under paragraph 6 will be listed in the budget as soon as timber-survey data 

 are available — probably 1924. 



11. All brush and debris resulting from timber-sale operations will be dis- 

 posed of according to instructions in the District 2 Forest Management Hand- 

 book. This means disposal by piling and burning in most cases. 



12. Any form of logging other than by animals or motor-propelled vehicles 

 will be permitted only by special authorization of the district forester. 



13. In case the logging operator does not remove cordwood or other by-prod- 

 ucts from the sale area, every effort will be made to sell such products to other 

 operators. 



14. If valid mining claims are known to exist in a logical sale unit and are 

 so located that they will interfere with the logging or will necessitate the 

 leaving of one or more tracts of timber isolated, the unit will not be budgeted 

 until near the end of the cutting cycle. Before then the claims may be either 

 abandoned or patented. Exceptions to this general policy may be made by the 

 forest supervisor. 



CUTTING BUDGET FOR 1921-1930 



The cutting budget is given on separate sheets. For each unit a specific 

 year has been designated as the time when cutting may be expected to begin. 

 It is not intended that this should be a mandatory date, but rather that it 

 should be a guide to the approximate time when the unit will be advertised 

 for sale. It might become more desirable to sell in 1925 a unit that is listed 

 for sale in 1928. When due consideration shows that such a change will bring 

 greater benefit to the forest and to the United States, the change should be 

 made. Authorization for such a change will not be necessary from anyone 

 approving this plan except the forest supervisor. 



Not all of the possible allotment is being budgeted by separate units. The 

 unallotted balance will be used to care for unforeseen small sales and sales in 

 areas not at present covered by intensive timber surveys.
