' 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, within the 

 ownership, in 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 operat- 

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

 Productivity is expressed as a percentage of operating area found to be in a 

 high, medium, or low productivity class. 



-"Small private" includes ownerships containing 3 to 5,000 acres of com- 

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

 and large private" includes ownerships of 5,000 and larger. 



3 Cuttings on which large products like saw logs, veneer logs, pulp logs, 

 veneer bolts, or stave bolts comprise 80 percent or more of the total cubic- 

 toot volume of products harvested. 



* Cuttings on which both large and small products are harvested together. 



5 Cuttings on which small cordwood products such as pulpwood, distil- 

 lation wood, fuelwood, and feltwood, comprise 80 percent or more of the 

 total cubic-foot volume of products harvested. 



6 Less than 0.5 percent. 



' Excludes operating area on some large private ownerships on which 

 access was denied. 



' Certain classes of private ownerships were omitted in this region because 

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

 total operating area by product class could not be adequately determined 

 by sampling procedures.
