1 In the case of saw-timber stands, areas containing 10 thousand board 
feet per acre or more were classified as good stocking; from 5 to 10 thousand 
as medium, and from 2 to 5 as poor. 
In cordwood, areas with 12.5 cords per acre or more were considered 
well stocked; from 7.5 to 12.5 cords as medium, and from 3 to 7.5 as poor. 
On restocking areas, land on which seedlings or saplings occupied 70 
percent or more of the area was designated as well stocked; from 40 to 
70 as medium, and from 10 to 40 as poor. With less than J0 percent of the 
area occupied, the land was called deforested.
