FIGURE 21. 

 Diagram of Stand in Norfolk County, Mass. 



Mixed young forest on neglected land in need both of reproduction and improve- 

 ment cuttings. Diameter of the dominant trees, 4 to 6 inches; height, 25 to 30 feet. 

 The stand represents the growth of about twenty-five years, and as a good deal of 

 the Pine started with the hardwoods, some of it is approximately as large, and some of 

 it has already been injured by suppression. The treatment required is to set free all 

 young growth by the removal of the hardwoods, and where Pine alone has formed 

 dense stands, to thin it. Removals are made on principles already illustrated.
