If $3 a cord is conservatively estimated as the probable maximum stumpage value of jack pine in 40 
years, the figures less than $3 (those above the heavy line) indicate that it will earn 4 per cent compound 
interest in general where taxes are less than 40 cents an acre, where the combined cost of planting and land 
value does not exceed $15 an acre and where the site is good or medium; 5 per cent, in general, where 
taxes are less than 25 cents an acre, where the combined cost of planting and land value does not exceed 
$10 an acre, and where the site is good or medium; and 6 per cent, in general, where taxes are less than 
25 cents an acre, where the combined cost of planting and land value does not exceed $7.50 an acre, and 
where the site is good.
