All first-class ties, 6 by 8 inches by 8 feet. 



Note.— The volume in "topwood" (top and branches) was obtained by subtracting the aggregate cubic 

 volume of tie logs to a minimum top diameter of 9 inches, outside bark, from the total used volume of the 

 tree, in cubic feet (to a minimum diameter of 2 inches, outside bark).

All first-class ties, 6 by 8 inches by 8 feet. 



Note.— The volume in "topwood" (top and branches) was obtained by subtracting the aggregate cubic 

 volume of tie logs to a minimum top diameter of 9 inches, outside bark, from the total used volume of the 

 tree, in cubic feet (to a minimum diameter of 2 inches, outside bark). 



POLES. 



Volumes for chestnut alone are given, since this is at present the 

 only hardwood species accepted for poles. The volumes are based 

 on average taper measurements on the trunks of 75 trees, and are 

 according to the specifications given on page 18. The volume in 

 additional cordwood can be determined approximately from the 

 cubic-foot volumes of topwood in the manner described under 

 "Lumber."
