the saw-timber drain was from private lands (table 

 28, fig. 32). 



These figures are subject to some qualification, 

 however. In Minnesota, counties frequently sell 

 land and timber together rather than sell stumpage 

 only. In these cases, the timber cut is charged as 

 drain upon privately owned lands whereas actually 

 it serves to reduce the growing stock on county 

 forests. 



Included in the total drain is a certain quantity 

 of unutilized material, either purposely left or lost 

 somewhere in the course of logging operations. 

 The total volume of such material in 1948 was 

 roughly 126 million cubic feet, or 19 percent of the 

 total drain. It included about 60 million board 

 feet of material suitable for logs, or 4 percent of the 

 saw-timber drain. 



The bulk of the logging waste accumulates on 

 nonintegrated sawlog operations particularly in less 

 accessible areas where portions of felled trees above 

 the standard log lengths are frequently left on the 

 ground. In many cases this represents from one- 

 third to one-half the total tree volume and includes 

 inaterial suitable for pulpwood, chemical wood, fuel 

 wood, and occasionally for ties, mine timbers, and 

 short logs. 



On the other hand, there is a srrowins: number of 

 integrated logging operations in the region, where
