' Volume includes bark to approximately a 4-inch top for under sawlog-size trees, and to a sawlog top for sawlog-size trees. 

 '' Red gum, tupelo gum, black gum, maple, bo.xelder, and cypress. 



3 The difference between this flgureand the cordwood volume in stem wood of good trees under sawlog size shown in table 7 and elsewhere is due to the 

 fact that in those instances the total volume of persimmon, regardless of tree size, has been included in the cordwood volume. 



Of nonpulping species, there is, in addition to the 

 more than 24 milUon cords in stems of good trees, 

 the remaining 14 milHon cords in tops of good trees 

 of sawlog size, sound cull trees, and the sound parts 

 of rotten cull trees. Of the aggregate volume of 

 nonpulping material, 80 to 90 percent is in kinds of 

 wood generally considered suitable for destructive 

 distillation; but a large part of this is in overcup 

 oak, bitter pecan, and other species of low or unde- 

 termined value for this purpose. 



small patches throughout the forest. For this use 

 high-grade logs or bolts are required; but if of ash 

 and hickory, they may be as small as 8 inches, and 

 if of persimmon, 6 inches in diameter. No 

 attempt was made to classify ash on the basis of 

 texture. Although it is thought that the ash will 

 run largely to firm or better, a considerable volume 

 is known to be brash. Neither has an attempt been 

 made to classify the persimmon on the basis of 

 width of sapwood.

Cubic-Foot Volume 



The figures for cubic-foot volume cover the total 

 .sound content (inside bark) of all live trees, in- 

 cluding hardwood tops and limbs larger than 4 

 inches in diameter. This volume, therefore, com- 

 prises the classes of material covered in the cord- 

 wood estimate plus the cubic volume of good trees 

 of sawlog size. This total cubic volume is as 



follows:
