' The determination of size class of private ownership was based on the 

 total commercial forest land area in the ownership. The operating area of 

 an individual ownership is the combined area of the forest types, withm the 

 ownership, m which some cutting was done since January 1, 1947. The 

 operating area of any size class or type of ownership is the sum of the operating 

 areas on individual ownerships in that size class or type of ownership. Pro- 

 ductivity is expressed as a percentage of operating area fotmd to be in a high, 

 medium, or low productivity class. 



2 Small private includes ownerships containing 3 to 5,000 acres of commercial 



forest land in the East and 10 to 5,000 acres in the West. Medium and large 

 private includes ownerships of 5,000 acres and larger. 



3 Less than 0.5 percent. 



< Excludes operating area on some large private ownerships on which 

 access was denied. 



5 Certain classes of private ownership were omitted in this region because 

 there were no ownerships of the omitted classes or they were so small that 

 total operating area by stand-size class could not be adequately determined 

 by sampling procedures.
