1 In hardwoods this volume includes limbs 4 inches in diameter and 

 larger. 



The volume in stems of sound trees (56 million 

 cords) constitutes the major part of the pulpwood 

 growing stock of the unit and should in general be 



held intact. Only its annual increment under the 

 of principle sustained yield should be considered 

 for possible utilization; and a considerable part of 

 this will be needed to support the present and 

 future requirements of the lumber, pole, tie, and 

 other wood-using industries. Some part of the 

 increment, however, can be used most advan- 

 tageously for pulpwood, and to this volume can be 

 added a portion of the 8,577,700 cords of sound 

 material in cull trees and in the upper stems and 

 Jimbs of sound trees that are cut for other pur- 

 poses. Under present utilization practices, very 

 little of this material is so used, the only demand 

 made upon it being for fuel wood. Future use is 

 problematical, except as local scarcity or ma- 

 terially increased prices may create a larger de- 

 mand. The possibilities in salvage of this sound 

 material are indicated in table 20.
