38 THE WOODLOT. 



FIGURE 5. 

 Diagram of Stand in Hartford County, Conn. 



Mixed hardwood growth; age 35 years; diameter 4 to 6 inches; height 35 to 40 

 feet. The treatment required is light improvement thinnings. Red Cedar 1 is cut 

 because it is crowding Hickory 1 and White Oak 1, which will eventually kill it out. 

 Hickory 2 should be removed to relieve Hickory 3 and White Oak 1. White Oak 2 

 is slowly giving way to Hickory 4 and White Oak 3. Ironwood 1 is cut to prevent 

 its seeding up the ground (as it often does) to the exclusion of better species.
