37. — The Malvern Lumber Co., Malvern, Ark., established in 1880, 

 has been in the timber business continuously for 59 years. Power 

 skidders have never been used in the logging operations, and this, 

 combined with adequate fire control, accounts for the fact that 

 many of the company tracts are now being logged selectively for the 

 fourth and fifth time. The stand shown was cut selectively in 1927. 

 In 1937, 8 trees per acre were cut for poles, and 68 trees (11.2 cords) 

 were cut for pulpwood; 80 pines (9.1 cords) and 60 harduoods 

 (4.7 cords) were left per acre.

 oak by reservijig this acreage for special orders.
