DiAGKAM OF Stand in Orange County, X. Y. 



Mixed hardwoods with Chestnut predominating. Dominant trees 8 to 12 inche' 

 in diameter ))y 40 feet in height. Subordinate trees li to 3 inches by 15 to 20 feel 

 The Oak and Hickory trees have been carelessly culled from high stumps au' 

 inferior Chestnuts have been left. Hence the sprout growth is bushy and unsoum 

 and constantly being injured by the shade of the poor trees above. Almost th 

 entire stand needs renewal. The required treatment is clean cutting, except wher 

 occasional straight saplings, preferably in gaps among the stumps, can be left to fi] 

 in the expected new crop. Stumps should be cut back when possible. White Oak 

 and Hickory 2 are thrifty, straight, and should be left.
