52 THE WOODLOT. 



FIGURE 12. 

 Diagram of Stand ix Middlesex County, Mass. 



White Pine in mixture with White Oak. Dominant trees 4 to 7 inches in diame- 

 ter, 30 feet in height, and 25 to 30 years old. The treatment required is light 

 improvement cutting of a stand too thick for its best development. Such are White 

 Oaks 1 and 3, Black Oak 1, and White Pine 6. In all these cases the trees cut are 

 not sufficiently behind the others in height and development to be unmistakably in 

 need of removal, but they are all either defective or so placed that the crowns of 

 adjacent trees will be able to utilize this room.
