54 THE WOODLOT. 



FIGURE 13. 

 Diagram of Stand in Hartford County, Conn. 



Irregular, uneven stand of mixed hardwoods in which wide-crowned, nearly 

 mature trees are on the point of checking healthy young saplings below. White 

 Oak 1 and Hickory 3, both of merchantable size and respectively 20 and 12 inches in 

 diameter and 45 and 55 feet in height, should therefore be removed. This will 

 instantly stimulate the growth of the younger trees without seriously interrupting 

 the forest cover.
