 makes all portions of the area readily accessible for fire 

 control as well as for naval stores, logging, and other 

 operations. Operated on a multiple-use, as well as on a 

 sustained-yield basis, the forest yields piles and poles, 

 gum for naval stores, railroad ties, posts, and saw timber.

 defective trees taken out in thinning operations. The 

 third year's chipping is under way in this 30- to 35-year-old
