This table is based on the measurement of 117 trees, which were cut into 4-foot 
lengths. Wood from trees of the same diameter was stacked separately and the 
stacks measured in cords. The same wood was later restacked and remeasured after 
peeling, but the data were not sufficient to reveal any significant differences between 
the number of cubic feet of peeled and unpeeled wood toacord. All wood was used 
above a 1-foot stump to a top diameter of 3 inches inside the bark. It is probable 
that the figures given are the maximum, since stacking was done with more than 
ordinary care. Because the cord is at best an extremely rough unit, varying greatly 
with the care used in limbing the wood and in stacking, the converting factors for 
loblolly pine can probably be used with safety for the other southern pines also.
