preferred species. Also, drain on sawlo^ material 

 was more than the proposed annual cut (fig. 37). 

 In contrast with overctuting ot softwood species, 

 drain on hardwoods was less than the proposed 

 allowable cut and in the case oi aspen was far below 

 (fig. 38).

In addition to being excessive on sawlog timber, 

 especially softwoods, drain exceeded allowal^Ie cut 

 in coniferous cordwood mainly because ot heavy 

 cutting of pine and spruce for pulp. On other 

 cordwood, drain fell short of the recommended 

 cut l)y a wide margin (fig. 39). 



Drain exceeded allowable cut on privately owned 

 lands but was less than allowable on public lands 

 (fig. 40).
