This table is baaed 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 III cords. The n raa 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 to a cord. 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.
