FORM TABLES. 
The foregoing volume tables were made by scaling the average 
tree in each diameter and height class, and are intended to show 
the volume of the trees according to the log scales most commonly 
used both under the present system of utilization and under a closer 
system. In each case, however, the diameter limit established is an 
arbitrary matter and the volume shown applies only for the par- 
ticular log scale used. In the following form tables the actual 
average taper measurements are given, and from these it is possible 
to construct volume tables for any log scale and any degree of utili- 
zation. Moreover, tables can be constructed to show the contents 
of the trees not only in board feet but in any other unit, such as 
cordwood, posts, etc., that may be desired. In the form tables are 
shown diameter classes from 8 inches to 36 inches at intervals of 1 
inch and height classes from 60 to 130 feet at intervals of 10 feet. 
The heights above ground represent 16.3-foot logs and half logs 
plus a stump height of 1 foot. The tables are based on the meas- 
urement of 252 trees in Indiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Louisiana, 
and Mississippi.
