—To estimate the contents of a piece of timberland the forester 
mongares a certain percentage (the smaller the tract the larger the percentage 
must be) of the trees with a pair of calipers. The trees are always measured 
* outside the bark at a distance of approximately 44 feet from the ground. The 
quantity of each kind of timber is then computed by means of a volume table 
which shows the contents (board feet, cubic feet, market, etc.) of standing 
trees of different sizes. By multiplying the number of trees of each size and 
species by the figures obtained from the volume tables, the quantity of timber 
actually measured is found. If ten per cent of the trees have been meas- 
aured multiplying this amount by ten will give the volume on the entire tract.

for white oak.
