58 THE WOODLOT. 



FIGURE 15. 

 Diagram of Stand in New Havex County, Conn. 



Irregular, uneven-aged, mixed hardwoods.. A forest from which merchantable 

 trees can here and there be removed with benefit to younger trees which remain. 

 Chestnut 2 and Tulip Poplar 1, of this class, will each make a pile. Chestnut 1, 

 which is dead, could be used in mixed cordwood, and Hickory 5, which is crowding 

 Hickory 4 and Black Birch 2, both better trees, will serve the same purpose. Blue 

 Beech 1, also fit only for cordwood, is cut to prevent its spreading and producing an 

 obnoxious undergrowth in the forest. The rest of the forest can remain to grow 

 under better conditions.
